Foreground Mitigation and Power Spectrum Analysis for Tianlai Full-Sky 21 cm Survey Observation
Yikai Deng, Shifan Zuo, Jixia Li +2
We present a comprehensive analysis of the 21 cm intensity mapping (IM) data from the Tianlai Cylinder Pathfinder Array (TCPA), focusing on multi-scale foreground mitigation and th…
The Operation Control System for the Tianlai Experiment
Jixia Li, Fengquan Wu, Shijie Sun +2
The Tianlai 21cm intensity mapping experiment is located at the Hongliuxia Observing Station, which is a remote site with excellent electromagnetic environment. To facilitate the o…
Measuring Tianlai's primary beam using sky model
Yunbo Geng, Furen Deng, Jixia Li +6
We present the beam pattern measurement of the Tianlai Cylinder Pathfinder Array. As it is a pure drift-scan instrument, we exploit the North-South motion of the Sun to demonstrate…
21 cm Power Spectrum Analysis of North Celestial Pole Observations with the Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array
Guangzhi He, Shifan Zuo, Jixia Li +11
The Tianlai Dish Pathfinder Array (TDPA) is a radio interferometer designed to test techniques for 21 cm intensity mapping in the post-reionization universe as a means of measuring…
The Tianlai-WIYN North Celestial Cap Redshift Survey
Reza Ansari, Gabriela A. Marques, John P. Marriner +13
We present the results of a small, low redshift spectroscopic survey of galaxies within 3 degrees of the North Celestial Pole (NCP) selected using V-band photometry obtained from t…
Beamforming in Interferometer Arrays with Cross-couplings
Yingfeng Liu, Shijie Sun, Kaifeng Yu +6
For an interferometric array, an image of the sky can be synthesized from interferometric visibilities, which are the cross-correlations of the received electric voltages of pairs…
