A Fast Direct Solver for Mutual Coupling Analysis of Large Arrays of Reflector Antennas
Quentin Gueuning, Eloy de Lera Acedo, Anthony Keith Brown +1
Mutual coupling is a dominant systematic effect in dense reflector arrays, imprinting direction-dependent and frequency-dependent structure on embedded element patterns (EEPs) and…
First Results from HERA Phase II
The HERA Collaboration, Zuhra Abdurashidova, Tyrone Adams +83
We report the first upper limits on the power spectrum of 21-cm fluctuations during the Epoch of Reionization and Cosmic Dawn from Phase II of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Ar…
Exploring One-point Statistics in HERA Phase I Data: Effects of Foregrounds and Systematics on Measuring One-Point Statistics
Honggeun Kim, Jacqueline N. Hewitt, Nicholas S. Kern +61
Measuring one-point statistics in redshifted 21 cm intensity maps offers an opportunity to explore non-Gaussian features of the early universe. We assess the impact of instrumental…
High Dimensional Beam Inference II: Inference of a Perturbed HERA Beam from Simulated Visibility Data
Michael J. Wilensky, Philip Bull, Nicolas Fagnoni
Accurate beam modeling is important in many radio astronomy applications. In this paper, we focus on beam modeling for 21-cm intensity mapping experiments using radio interferomete…
A demonstration of the effect of fringe-rate filtering in the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array delay power spectrum pipeline
Hugh Garsden, Philip Bull, Mike Wilensky +94
Radio interferometers targeting the 21cm brightness temperature fluctuations at high redshift are subject to systematic effects that operate over a range of different timescales. T…
Bayesian estimation of cross-coupling and reflection systematics in 21cm array visibility data
Geoff G. Murphy, Philip Bull, Mario G. Santos +76
Observations with radio arrays that target the 21-cm signal originating from the early Universe suffer from a variety of systematic effects. An important class of these are reflect…
