First Limits on the 21 cm Power Spectrum during the Epoch of X-ray heating

A. Ewall-Wice, Joshua S. Dillon, J. N. Hewitt +62

We present first results from radio observations with the Murchison Widefield Array seeking to constrain the power spectrum of 21 cm brightness temperature fluctuations between the…

A study of fundamental limitations to statistical detection of redshifted HI from the epoch of reionization

Nithyanandan Thyagarajan, N. Udaya Shankar, Ravi Subrahmanyan +46

In this paper we explore for the first time the relative magnitudes of three fundamental sources of uncertainty, namely, foreground contamination, thermal noise and sample variance…
