Scalable Bayesian data curation for next-generation radio experiments
S. A. K. Leeney, E. de Lera Acedo, W. J. Handley +42
Next-generation radio telescopes produce data volumes that preclude manual quality assessment, yet data curation remains essential for science. We present a general, fully automati…
Neural Bayesian Anomaly Mitigation: A Robust Loss that Doubles as an Unsupervised Contamination Classifier
S. A. K. Leeney, W. J. Handley, H. T. J. Bevins +1
Engineered robust losses such as Huber, Student-, and generalised cross-entropy make supervised models tolerant of contamination but cannot answer which observations are corrupt…
Optimisation of calibration sources for global 21-cm experiments: the REACH case
Adarsh Kumar Dash, Dominic Anstey, Harry T. J. Bevins +41
The spin-flip 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization is an essential probe of the conditions that led to the formation of the first luminous objects in the…
Conditional Neural Bayes Ratio Estimation for Experimental Design Optimisation
S. A. K. Leeney, T. Gessey-Jones, W. J. Handley +3
For frontier experiments operating at the edge of detectability, instrument design directly determines the probability of discovery. We introduce Conditional Neural Bayes Ratio Est…
Circuit Modeling for In Situ 21 cm Radiometer Calibration
Gary Vincent Charles Allen, Saurabh Pegwal, Dirk de Villiers +42
Recent experiments in cosmology, particularly those aimed at detecting the faint, redshifted, global 21 cm hydrogen line (depth < ~200 mK, z > 7.5), have imposed stringent new requ…
Optimizing Foreground Modelling for Global 21cm Cosmology with GPU-Accelerated Nested Sampling
Jacob L. Tutt, Peter H. Sims, Joe H. N. Pattison +3
The global 21-cm signal provides a powerful probe of early-Universe astrophysics, but its detection is hindered by Galactic foregrounds that are orders of magnitude brighter than t…
Bayesian Anomaly Detection for Ia Cosmology: Automating SALT3 Data Curation
S. A. K. Leeney, W. J. Handley, H. T. J. Bevins +1
Precision cosmology with Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) requires robust quality control of large, heterogeneous datasets. Current data processing often relies on manual, subjective re…
Radiometer Calibration using Machine Learning
S. A. K. Leeney, H. T. J. Bevins, E. de Lera Acedo +35
Radiometers are crucial instruments in radio astronomy, forming the primary component of nearly all radio telescopes. They measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, conve…
JAX-bandflux: differentiable supernovae SALT modelling for cosmological analysis on GPUs
Samuel Alan Kossoff Leeney
JAX-bandflux is a JAX implementation of critical supernova modelling functionality for cosmological analysis. The codebase implements key components of the established library SNCo…
Square Kilometre Array Science Data Challenge 3a: foreground removal for an EoR experiment
A. Bonaldi, P. Hartley, R. Braun +179
We present and analyse the results of the Science data challenge 3a (SDC3a, https://sdc3.skao.int/challenges/foregrounds), an EoR foreground-removal community-wide exercise organis…
Accounting for Noise and Singularities in Bayesian Calibration Methods for Global 21-cm Cosmology Experiments
Christian J. Kirkham, William J. Handley, Jiacong Zhu +6
Due to the large dynamic ranges involved with separating the cosmological 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn from galactic foregrounds, a well-calibrated instrument is essential to…
Enhanced Bayesian RFI Mitigation and Transient Flagging Using Likelihood Reweighting
Dominic Anstey, Samuel A. K. Leeney
Contamination by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is a ubiquitous challenge for radio astronomy. In particular, transient RFI is difficult to detect and avoid, especially in larg…
Receiver design for the REACH global 21-cm signal experiment
Ian L. V. Roque, Nima Razavi-Ghods, Steven H. Carey +35
We detail the the REACH radiometric system designed to enable measurements of the 21-cm neutral hydrogen line. Included is the radiometer architecture and end-to-end system simulat…
Bayesian approach to radio frequency interference mitigation
S. A. K. Leeney, W. J. Handley, E. de Lera Acedo
Interfering signals such as Radio Frequency Interference from ubiquitous satellite constellations are becoming an endemic problem in fields involving physical observations of the e…
