Mitigating Internal Instrument Coupling II: A Method Demonstration with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array
Nicholas S. Kern, Aaron R. Parsons, Joshua S. Dillon +63
We present a study of internal reflection and cross coupling systematics in Phase I of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA). In a companion paper, we outlined the mathem…
Mitigating Internal Instrument Coupling for 21 cm Cosmology I: Temporal and Spectral Modeling in Simulations
Nicholas S. Kern, Aaron R. Parsons, Joshua S. Dillon +3
We study the behavior of internal signal chain reflections and antenna cross coupling as systematics for 21 cm cosmological surveys. We outline the mathematics for how these system…
Quantifying EoR delay spectrum contamination from diffuse radio emission
Adam E. Lanman, Jonathan C. Pober, Nicholas S. Kern +3
The 21 cm hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen offers a promising probe of the large scale structure of the universe before and during the Epoch of Reionization, when the first…
Absolute Calibration Strategies for the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array and Their Impact on the 21 cm Power Spectrum
Nicholas S. Kern, Joshua S. Dillon, Aaron R. Parsons +69
We discuss absolute calibration strategies for Phase I of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), which aims to measure the cosmological 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Rei…
Understanding the HERA Phase I receiver system with simulations and its impact on the detectability of the EoR delay power spectrum
Nicolas Fagnoni, Eloy de Lera Acedo, David R. DeBoer +67
The detection of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) delay power spectrum using a "foreground avoidance method" highly depends on the instrument chromaticity. The systematic effects in…
A Roadmap for Astrophysics and Cosmology with High-Redshift 21 cm Intensity Mapping
The Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array, Collaboration, James E. Aguirre +29
In this white paper, we lay out a US roadmap for high-redshift 21 cm cosmology (30 < z < 6) in the 2020s. Beginning with the currently-funded HERA and MWA Phase II projects and adv…
