The burgeoning rise of the 21-cm forest I: constraints on the optical depth of the intergalactic medium at
Chanasorn Kongprachaya, Gianni Bernardi, Emilio Ceccotti +3
The redshifted 21-cm line is a promising probe of the Epoch of Reionization, during which the first generation of stars ionized the InterGalactic Medium (IGM). We aimed to constrai…
Foreground Characterization and Mitigation in the Observations of the CD/EoR with the SKA
Philip Bull, Jacob Burba, Emilio Ceccotti +20
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), with its unprecedented sensitivity, frequency coverage, and large collecting area, is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Cosmic Dawn…
Overview of 21cm Experiments at high redshift with SKAO
CD Science Working Group, Gianni Bernardi, Daniela Breitman +81
We provide an overview of the eight SKAO Science Book chapters that motivate the Epoch of Reionisation and Cosmic Dawn experiments with SKA-Low. We describe the individual SKA-Low…
Mitigating incoherent excess variance in high-redshift 21 cm observations with multi-output cross-Gaussian process regression
S. Munshi, L. V. E. Koopmans, F. G. Mertens +8
Systematic effects that limit the achievable sensitivity of current low-frequency radio telescopes to the 21 cm signal are among the foremost challenges in observational 21 cm cosm…
The impact of lunar topography on the 21-cm power spectrum for grid-based arrays : Insights for the Dark-ages EXplorer (DEX)
S. Ghosh, L. V. E. Koopmans, C. Brinkerink +17
The Dark Ages (DA) provides a crucial window into the physics of the infant Universe, with the 21-cm signal offering the only direct probe for mapping out the three-dimensional dis…
The impact of diffuse Galactic emission on direction-independent gain calibration in high-redshift 21 cm observations
C. Höfer, L. V. E. Koopmans, S. A. Brackenhoff +7
This study examines the impact of diffuse Galactic emission (DGE) on sky-based direction-independent (DI) gain calibration using realistic forward simulations of Low-Frequency Arra…
