Optimisation of calibration sources for global 21-cm experiments: the REACH case
Adarsh Kumar Dash, Dominic Anstey, Harry T. J. Bevins +41
The spin-flip 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionization is an essential probe of the conditions that led to the formation of the first luminous objects in the…
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…
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…
Radiometer Calibration using Machine Learning
S. A. K. Leeney, H. T. J. Bevins, E. de Lera Acedo +35
Radiometers are crucial instruments in radio astronomy, forming the primary component of nearly all radio telescopes. They measure the intensity of electromagnetic radiation, conve…
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…
