First upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum of neutral hydrogen at from the LOFAR 3C196 field
E. Ceccotti, A. R. Offringa, F. G. Mertens +16
The redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) can potentially be detected using low-frequency radio instruments such as the Low-Frequency Arr…
Deeper multi-redshift upper limits on the Epoch of Reionization 21-cm signal power spectrum from LOFAR between z=8.3 and z=10.1
F. G. Mertens, M. Mevius, L. V. E. Koopmans +20
We present new upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), at redshifts , based on reprocessed obse…
Detecting the HI Power Spectrum in the Post-Reionization Universe with SKA-Low
Zhaoting Chen, Emma Chapman, Laura Wolz +1
We present a survey strategy to detect the neutral hydrogen (HI) power spectrum at using the SKA-Low radio telescope in presence of foregrounds and instrumental effects. We…
First Light: Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time
Emma Chapman
The Era of the First Stars is one of the last unknown frontiers for exploration: a poorly understood billion years missing from our cosmological timeline. We have now developed sev…
A numerical study of 21-cm signal suppression and noise increase in direction-dependent calibration of LOFAR data
M. Mevius, F. Mertens, L. V. E. Koopmans +14
We investigate systematic effects in direction dependent gain calibration in the context of the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) 21-cm Epoch of Reionization (EoR) experiment. The LOFAR…
Comparing Foreground Removal Techniques for Recovery of the LOFAR-EoR 21cm Power Spectrum
Ian Hothi, Emma Chapman, Jonathan R. Pritchard +10
We compare various foreground removal techniques that are being utilised to remove bright foregrounds in various experiments aiming to detect the redshifted 21cm signal of neutral…
