A new MWA limit on the 21 cm power spectrum at redshifts ?13–17

چکیده
Observations in the lowest MWA band between $75-100$ MHz have potential to constrain distribution of neutral hydrogen intergalactic medium at redshift $\sim 13-17$. Using 15 hours data, we analyse systematics this such as radio-frequency interference (RFI), ionospheric and wide field effects. By updating position point sources, mitigate direction independent calibration error due offsets. Our strategy is optimized for frequency bands by reducing number dependent calibrators taking into account radio sources within a wider view. We remove data polluted based on RFI occupancy conditions, finally selecting 5.5 cleanest data. these obtain two sigma upper limits 21 cm power spectrum range $0.1\lessapprox k \lessapprox 1 ~\rm ~h~Mpc^{-1}$ $z$=14.2, 15.2 16.5, with limit being $6.3\times 10^6 mK^2$ $\rm k=0.14 \rm $z=15.2$ possibility few \% signal loss calibration.

Light-cone effect on the reionization 21-cm power spectrum
Observations of redshifted 21-cm radiation from neutral hydrogen during the epoch of reionization are considered to constitute the most promising tool to probe that epoch. One of the major goals of the first generation of low-frequency radio telescopes is to measure the 3D 21-cm power spectrum. However, the 21-cm signal could evolve substantially along the lineof-sight (LOS) direction of an obs...
متن کاملProbing the bispectrum at high redshifts using 21 cm HI observations
Observations of fluctuations in the redshifted 21 cm radiation from neautral hydrogen (HI) are perceived to be an important future probe of the universe at high redshifts. Under the assimption that at redshifts z ≤ 6 (Post-Reionization Era) the HI traces the underlying dark matter with a possible bias, we investigate the possibility of using observations of redshifted 21 cm radiation to detect ...

متن کاملScintillation noise power spectrum and its impact on high-redshift 21-cm observations
Visibility scintillation resulting from wave propagation through the turbulent ionosphere can be an important source of noise at low radio frequencies (ν 200MHz). Many low-frequency experiments are underway to detect the power spectrum of brightness temperature fluctuations of the neutral-hydrogen 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR: 12 z 7, 100 ν 175 MHz). In this paper, we derive...
متن کاملROTATIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF NEW BANDS IN THE NO , EXCITATION SPECTRUM IN THE SPECTRAL RANGE OF 15600 cm TO 15633 cm
Sub-Doppler excitation spectroscopy in a collimated cold supersonic beam of 5% NO seeded in argon has been performed with a spectral resolution down to 10 MHz for four vibronic bands within the perturbed B ?X A system of NO . The rotational temperature of about 15 K achieved by adiabatic cooling allows the separation of closely lying vibronic bands which overlap in absorption spectra ...
