Simulating the 21cm forest detectable with LOFAR and SKA in the spectra of high-z GRBs
B. Ciardi, S. Inoue, F. B. Abdalla +26
We investigate the feasibility of detecting 21cm absorption features in the afterglow spectra of high redshift long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). This is done employing simulations of c…
Constraining the epoch of reionization with the variance statistic: simulations of the LOFAR case
Ajinkya H. Patil, Saleem Zaroubi, Emma Chapman +27
Several experiments are underway to detect the cosmic redshifted 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). Due to their very low signal-to-noise rati…
Probing reionization with LOFAR using 21-cm redshift space distortions
Hannes Jensen, Kanan K. Datta, Garrelt Mellema +24
One of the most promising ways to study the epoch of reionization (EoR) is through radio observations of the redshifted 21-cm line emission from neutral hydrogen. These observation…
Prospects for detecting the 21cm forest from the diffuse intergalactic medium with LOFAR
B. Ciardi, P. Labropoulos, A. Maselli +20
We discuss the feasibility of the detection of the 21cm forest in the diffuse IGM with the radio telescope LOFAR. The optical depth to the 21cm line has been derived using simulati…
LOFAR insights into the epoch of reionization from the cross power spectrum of 21cm emission and galaxies
R. P. C. Wiersma, B. Ciardi, R. M. Thomas +18
Using a combination of N-body simulations, semi-analytic models and radiative transfer calculations, we have estimated the theoretical cross power spectrum between galaxies and the…
Spectroscopic monitoring of the Blazar 3C 454.3
E. Benitez, V. H. Chavushyan, C. M. Raiteri +5
We performed an optical spectroscopic monitoring of the blazar 3C 454.3 from September 2003 to July 2008. Sixteen optical spectra were obtained during different runs, which constit…
