Exploring One-point Statistics in HERA Phase I Data: Effects of Foregrounds and Systematics on Measuring One-Point Statistics
Honggeun Kim, Jacqueline N. Hewitt, Nicholas S. Kern +61
Measuring one-point statistics in redshifted 21 cm intensity maps offers an opportunity to explore non-Gaussian features of the early universe. We assess the impact of instrumental…
Complete Sampling of the Plane with Realistic Radio Arrays: Introducing the RULES Algorithm, with Application to 21 cm Foreground Wedge Removal
Vincent MacKay, Zhilei Xu, Ruby Byrne +1
We introduce the Radio-array Layout Engineering Strategy (RULES), an algorithm for designing radio arrays that achieve complete coverage of the plane, defined as, at mini…
A demonstration of the effect of fringe-rate filtering in the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array delay power spectrum pipeline
Hugh Garsden, Philip Bull, Mike Wilensky +94
Radio interferometers targeting the 21cm brightness temperature fluctuations at high redshift are subject to systematic effects that operate over a range of different timescales. T…
matvis: A matrix-based visibility simulator for fast forward modelling of many-element 21 cm arrays
Piyanat Kittiwisit, Steven G. Murray, Hugh Garsden +95
Detection of the faint 21 cm line emission from the Cosmic Dawn and Epoch of Reionisation will require not only exquisite control over instrumental calibration and systematics to a…
Direct Optimal Mapping Image Power Spectrum and its Window Functions
Zhilei Xu, Honggeun Kim, Jacqueline N. Hewitt +79
The key to detecting neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization (EoR) is to separate the cosmological signal from the dominating foreground radiation. We developed direct op…
