Improved upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum at and from an optimal field observed with NenuFAR
S. Munshi, F. G. Mertens, J. K. Chege +19
We report the deepest upper limits to date on the power spectrum of the 21-cm signal during the Cosmic Dawn (redshifts: ), using four nights of observations with NenuFAR. The…

Near-field imaging of local interference in radio interferometric data: Impact on the redshifted 21 cm power spectrum
S. Munshi, F. G. Mertens, L. V. E. Koopmans +24
Radio-frequency interference (RFI) is a major systematic limitation in radio astronomy, particularly for science cases requiring high sensitivity, such as 21 cm cosmology. Traditio…

Square Kilometre Array Science Data Challenge 3a: foreground removal for an EoR experiment
A. Bonaldi, P. Hartley, R. Braun +179
We present and analyse the results of the Science data challenge 3a (SDC3a, https://sdc3.skao.int/challenges/foregrounds), an EoR foreground-removal community-wide exercise organis…
