A 21-cm power spectrum at 48 MHz, using the Owens Valley Long Wavelength Array

Hugh Garsden, Lincoln Greenhill, Gianni Bernardi +6

The Large-aperture Experiment to detect the Dark Age (LEDA) was designed to measure the 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen at Cosmic Dawn, 15-30. Using observations mad…

maxsmooth: Rapid Maximally Smooth Function Fitting With Applications in Global 21-cm Cosmology

H. T. J. Bevins, W. J. Handley, A. Fialkov +3

Maximally Smooth Functions (MSFs) are a form of constrained functions in which there are no inflection points or zero crossings in high order derivatives. Consequently, they have a…

Bayesian constraints on the global 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn

G. Bernardi, J. T. L. Zwart, D. Price +7

The birth of the first luminous sources and the ensuing epoch of reionization are best studied via the redshifted 21-cm emission line, the signature of the first two imprinting the…

The first Murchison Widefield Array low frequency radio observations of cluster scale non-thermal emission: the case of Abell 3667

L. Hindson, M. Johnston-Hollitt, N. Hurley-Walker +51

We present the first Murchison Widefield Array observations of the well-known cluster of galaxies Abell 3667 (A3667) between 105 and 241 MHz. A3667 is one of the best known example…

The EoR Sensitivity of the Murchison Widefield Array

A. P. Beardsley, B. J. Hazelton, M. F. Morales +48

Using the final 128 antenna locations of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), we calculate its sensitivity to the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) power spectrum of red- shifted 21 cm e…

HI Epoch of Reionization Arrays

L. J. Greenhill, G. Bernardi

There are few data available with which to constrain the thermal history of the intergalactic medium (IGM) following global recombination. Thus far, most constraints flow from anal…
