First Results from HERA Phase II
The HERA Collaboration, Zuhra Abdurashidova, Tyrone Adams +83
We report the first upper limits on the power spectrum of 21-cm fluctuations during the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn from Phase II of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Ar…
Exploring One-point Statistics in HERA Phase I Data: Effects of Foregrounds and Systematics on Measuring One-Point Statistics
Honggeun Kim, Jacqueline N. Hewitt, Nicholas S. Kern +61
Measuring one-point statistics in redshifted 21 cm intensity maps offers an opportunity to explore non-Gaussian features of the early universe. We assess the impact of instrumental…
EDGES-3: Instrument Design and Commissioning
Rigel C. Cappallo, Alan E. E. Rogers, Colin J. Lonsdale +10
EDGES-3 is the third iteration of the EDGES experiment, designed to measure the predicted global absorption feature in the radio spectrum produced by neutral hydrogen gas at cosmic…
A Bayesian approach to modelling spectrometer data chromaticity corrected using beam factors -- II. Model priors and posterior odds
Peter H. Sims, Judd D. Bowman, Steven G. Murray +8
The reliable detection of the global 21-cm signal, a key tracer of Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization, requires meticulous data modelling and robust statistical frameworks f…
A general Bayesian model-validation framework based on null-test evidence ratios, with an example application to global 21-cm cosmology
Peter H. Sims, Steven G. Murray, Judd D. Bowman +8
Comparing composite models for multi-component observational data is a prevalent scientific challenge. When fitting composite models, there exists the potential for systematics fro…
