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…

The Dark Ages Explorer (DEX): a filled-aperture ultra-long wavelength radio interferometer on the lunar far side
C. D. Brinkerink, M. J. Arts, M. J. Bentum +21
The measurement of the spatial fluctuations of the neutral hydrogen 21 cm signal arising during the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn periods of our Universe (z from 200 to 10) holds the p…
