Synthesis imaging with a lunar orbit array: III. Augmented lagrangian Multiplier Imaging using Gradient descent Optimization (AMIGO)
Meng Zhou, Furen Deng, Yidong Xu +1
Ground-based radio observations below 30 MHz are severely limited by ionospheric interference and radio frequency interference (RFI) from Earth. A lunar-orbiting radio interferomet…
The Operation Control System for the Tianlai Experiment
Jixia Li, Fengquan Wu, Shijie Sun +2
The Tianlai 21cm intensity mapping experiment is located at the Hongliuxia Observing Station, which is a remote site with excellent electromagnetic environment. To facilitate the o…
Measuring Tianlai's primary beam using sky model
Yunbo Geng, Furen Deng, Jixia Li +6
We present the beam pattern measurement of the Tianlai Cylinder Pathfinder Array. As it is a pure drift-scan instrument, we exploit the North-South motion of the Sun to demonstrate…
Synthesis imaging with a lunar orbit array: I. global sky map and its systematics
Furen Deng, Yidong Xu, Fengquan Wu +3
Ground-based radio astronomical observation at frequencies below 30 MHz is hampered by the Ionosphere and radio frequency interference (RFI). The Discovering Sky at the Longest wav…
Beamforming in Interferometer Arrays with Cross-couplings
Yingfeng Liu, Shijie Sun, Kaifeng Yu +6
For an interferometric array, an image of the sky can be synthesized from interferometric visibilities, which are the cross-correlations of the received electric voltages of pairs…
Probing the cosmological 21~cm global signal from the Antarctic ice sheet
Shijie Sun, Jiaqin Xu, Minquan Zhou +7
The redshifted 21 cm line, arising from neutral hydrogen, offers a unique probe into the intergalactic medium and the first stars and galaxies formed in the early universe. However…
RFSoC receiver calibration system for 21-cm global spectrum experiments from space: The CosmoCube case
Jiacong Zhu, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Kaan Artuc +1
The CosmoCube project plans to deploy a global 21-cm spectrometer with 10-100 MHz observation band in a lunar orbit. The farside part of such an orbit, i.e. the part of orbit behin…
Measurement of the Primary Beam of the Tianlai Cylindrical Antenna Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Jixia Li, Nanben Suo, Shenzhe Xu +9
The Tianlai Cylinder Pathfinder Array consists of three adjacent cylindrical reflectors fixed on the ground, each 40 meters long and 15 meters wide, with the cylinder axis oriented…
The Electrical Design of a Membrane Antenna for Lunar-based Low-frequency Radio Telescope
Suonanben, Fengquan Wu, Kai He +15
Detecting primordial fluctuations from the cosmic dark ages requires extremely large low-frequency radio telescope arrays deployed on the far side of the Moon. The antenna of such…
The FRB-searching pipeline of the Tianlai Cylinder Pathfinder Array
Zijie Yu, Furen Deng, Shijie Sun +14
This paper presents the design, calibration, and survey strategy of the Fast Radio Burst (FRB) digital backend and its real-time data processing pipeline employed in the Tianlai Cy…
Forecast measurement of the 21 cm global spectrum from Lunar orbit with the Vari-Zeroth-Order Polynomial (VZOP) method
Tianyang Liu, Jiajun Zhang, Yuan Shi +7
The cosmic 21 cm signal serves as a crucial probe for studying the evolutionary history of the Universe. However, detecting the 21 cm signal poses significant challenges due to its…
Calibration Error in 21-centimeter Global Spectrum Experiments
Shijie Sun, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Fengquan Wu +3
The redshifted 21 cm line signal is a powerful probe of the cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionization. The global spectrum can potentially be detected with a single antenna and spe…
Large-scale Array for Radio Astronomy on the Farside
Xuelei Chen, Feng Gao, Fengquan Wu +20
At the Royal Society meeting in 2023, we have mainly presented our lunar orbit array concept called DSL, and also briefly introduced a concept of a lunar surface array, LARAF. As t…
Application of Regularization Methods in the Sky Map Reconstruction of the Tianlai Cylinder Pathfinder Array
Kaifeng Yu, Shifan Zuo, Fengquan Wu +2
The Tianlai cylinder pathfinder is a radio interferometer array to test 21 cm intensity mapping techniques in the post-reionization era. It works in passive drift scan mode to surv…
The Effects of the Local Environment on a Compact Radio Interferometer I: Cross-coupling in the Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array
Juhun Kwak, John Podczerwinski, Peter Timbie +10
The visibilities measured by radio astronomical interferometers include non-astronomical correlated signals that arise from the local environment of the array. These correlated sig…
