High-Redshift Signatures from the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization
Rennan Barkana, Oliver Basquette, Ankita Bera +22
In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive overview of the astrophysical and cosmological processes that shape the 21-cm signal during Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization. W…
The effect of photon re-scattering due to cosmic reionization on 21-cm images and power spectra
Sudipta Sikder, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov
The 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen serves as a critical tool for unraveling the astrophysical processes that shaped cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionization. We explore the us…
The Signature of Strong High-Redshift Radio Backgrounds on the Cosmic Dawn 21-cm Bispectrum
Sudipta Sikder, Rajesh Mondal, Rennan Barkana +1
Measurements from the Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission 2 (ARCADE-2) reveal a strong radio background in the GHz frequency range. Since the cosm…
The Signature of Sub-galactic Dark Matter Clumping in the Global 21-cm Signal of Hydrogen
Hyunbae Park, Rennan Barkana, Naoki Yoshida +3
It is thought that the Universe went through an early period known as the Dark Ages, during which primeval density fluctuations grew to form the first luminous objects, marking the…
Probing small-scale dark matter clumping with the large-scale 21-cm power spectrum
Sudipta Sikder, Hyunbae Park, Rennan Barkana +2
The 21-cm line of hydrogen is the most promising probe of the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn. We combine hydrodynamical simulations with a large-scale grid in order to calculate the eff…
Classification of Radio Backgrounds at Cosmic Dawn and 21 cm Signal Confirmation Using Neural Networks
Sudipta Sikder, Anastasia Fialkov, Rennan Barkana
Several ongoing and upcoming radio telescopes aim to detect either the global 21 cm signal or the 21 cm power spectrum. The extragalactic radio background, as detected by ARCADE-2…
Constraining the clustering and 21-cm signature of radio galaxies at cosmic dawn
Sudipta Sikder, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov
The efficiency of radio emission is an important unknown parameter of early galaxies at cosmic dawn, as models with high efficiency have been shown to modify the cosmological 21-cm…
Constraining the properties of Population III galaxies with multi-wavelength observations
S. Pochinda, T. Gessey-Jones, H. T. J. Bevins +7
The early Universe, spanning 400,000 to 400 million years after the Big Bang (), has been left largely unexplored as the light from luminous objects is too faint t…
Strong 21-cm fluctuations and anisotropy due to the line-of-sight effect of radio galaxies at cosmic dawn
Sudipta Sikder, Rennan Barkana, Anastasia Fialkov +1
The reported detection of the global 21-cm signal by the EDGES collaboration is significantly stronger than standard astrophysical predictions. One possible explanation is an early…
Emulation of the Cosmic Dawn 21-cm Power Spectrum and Classification of Excess Radio Models Using an Artificial Neural Network
Sudipta Sikder, Rennan Barkana, Itamar Reis +1
The cosmic 21-cm line of hydrogen is expected to be measured in detail by the next generation of radio telescopes. The enormous dataset from future 21-cm surveys will revolutionize…
HERA Phase I Limits on the Cosmic 21-cm Signal: Constraints on Astrophysics and Cosmology During the Epoch of Reionization
The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, James E. Aguirre +81
Recently, the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) collaboration has produced the experiment's first upper limits on the power spectrum of 21-cm fluctuations at z~8 and 10.…
