A High Reliability Survey of Discrete Epoch of Reionization Foreground Sources in the MWA EoR0 Field

P. A. Carroll, J. Line, M. F. Morales +61

Detection of the Epoch of Reionization HI signal requires a precise understanding of the intervening galaxies and AGN, both for instrumental calibration and foreground removal. We…
