The EDGES Analysis Pipeline: Description and Validation
Steven G. Murray, Nivedita Mahesh, Akshatha K. Vydula +7
The sky-averaged redshifted 21-cm signal from Cosmic Dawn is expected to provide a unique view of the first compact objects. However, its measurement remains daunting. Difficulties…
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…
The Spectral Variability of the GHz-Peaked Spectrum Radio Source PKS 1718-649 and a Comparison of Absorption Models
S. J. Tingay, J. -P. Macquart, J. D. Collier +42
Using the new wideband capabilities of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), we obtain spectra for PKS 1718-649, a well-known gigahertz-peaked spectrum radio source. The ob…
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…
A 189 MHz, 2400 square degree polarization survey with the Murchison Widefield Array 32-element prototype
G. Bernardi, L. J. Greenhill, D. A. Mitchell +50
We present a Stokes I, Q and U survey at 189 MHz with the Murchison Widefield Array 32-element prototype covering 2400 square degrees. The survey has a 15.6 arcmin angular resoluti…
Absolute calibration of a wideband antenna and spectrometer for sky noise spectral index measurements
Alan E. E. Rogers, Judd D. Bowman
A new method of absolute calibration of sky noise temperature using a three-position switched spectrometer, measurements of antenna and low noise amplifier impedance with a vector…
The Murchison Widefield Array
Daniel A. Mitchell, Lincoln J. Greenhill, Stephen M. Ord +57
It is shown that the excellent Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory site allows the Murchison Widefield Array to employ a simple RFI blanking scheme and still calibrate visibiliti…
