Measurements of the diffuse Galactic synchrotron spectral index and curvature from MeerKLASS pilot data
Melis O. Irfan, Philip Bull, Mario G. Santos +6
21cm intensity mapping experiments are bringing an influx of high spectral resolution observational data in the MHz GHz regime. We use pilot MHz data fro…
Automated Detection of Antenna Malfunctions in Large-N Interferometers: A Case Study with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array
Dara Storer, Joshua S. Dillon, Daniel C. Jacobs +75
We present a framework for identifying and flagging malfunctioning antennas in large radio interferometers. We outline two distinct categories of metrics designed to detect outlier…
First Results from HERA Phase I: Upper Limits on the Epoch of Reionization 21 cm Power Spectrum
The HERA Collaboration, Zara Abdurashidova, James E. Aguirre +74
We report upper-limits on the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) 21 cm power spectrum at redshifts 7.9 and 10.4 with 18 nights of data ( hours of integration) from Phase I of the…
Spin-based removal of instrumental systematics in 21cm intensity mapping surveys
Nialh McCallum, Daniel B. Thomas, Philip Bull +1
Upcoming cosmological intensity mapping surveys will open new windows on the Universe, but they must first overcome a number of significant systematic effects, including polarizati…
Cleaning foregrounds from single-dish 21cm intensity maps with Kernel Principal Component Analysis
Melis O. Irfan, Philip Bull
The high dynamic range between contaminating foreground emission and the fluctuating 21cm brightness temperature field is one of the most problematic characteristics of 21cm intens…
Validation of the HERA Phase I Epoch of Reionization 21 cm Power Spectrum Software Pipeline
James E. Aguirre, Steven G. Murray, Robert Pascua +73
We describe the validation of the HERA Phase I software pipeline by a series of modular tests, building up to an end-to-end simulation. The philosophy of this approach is to valida…
Effects of model incompleteness on the drift-scan calibration of radio telescopes
Bharat K. Gehlot, Daniel C. Jacobs, Judd D. Bowman +76
Precision calibration poses challenges to experiments probing the redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionization (z~30-6). In both inter…
A Real Time Processing System for Big Data in Astronomy: Applications to HERA
Paul La Plante, Peter K. G. Williams, Matthew Kolopanis +72
As current- and next-generation astronomical instruments come online, they will generate an unprecedented deluge of data. Analyzing these data in real time presents unique conceptu…
Methods of Error Estimation for Delay Power Spectra in Cosmology
Jianrong Tan, Adrian Liu, Nicholas S. Kern +71
Precise measurements of the 21 cm power spectrum are crucial for understanding the physical processes of hydrogen reionization. Currently, this probe is being pursued by low-freque…
Statistical recovery of the BAO scale from multipoles of the beam-convolved 21cm correlation function
Fraser Kennedy, Philip Bull
Despite being designed as an interferometer, the MeerKAT radio array (an SKA pathfinder) can also be used in autocorrelation (`single-dish') mode, where each dish scans the sky ind…
Patterns of primary beam non-redundancy in close-packed 21 cm array observations
Samir Choudhuri, Philip Bull, Hugh Garsden
Radio interferometer arrays such as HERA consist of many close-packed dishes arranged in a regular pattern, giving rise to a large number of `redundant' baselines with the same len…
