Prospects for Redshifted 21-cm Observations of Quasar Hii Regions
The introduction of low-frequency radio arrays over the coming decade is expected to revolutionize the study of the reionization epoch. Observation of the contrast in redshifted 21cm emission between a large H II region and the surrounding neutral IGM will be the simplest and most easily interpreted signature. We assess the sensitivity of three generations of planned low-frequency arrays to qua...
متن کاملImproving Foreground Subtraction in Statistical Observations of 21 Cm Emission from the Epoch of Reionization
Statistical observations of the Epoch of Reionization using the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of structure formation and the first luminous objects. However, these observations are complicated by a host of strong foreground sources. Several foreground removal techniques have been proposed in the literature, and it has been assumed that thes...
متن کاملForeground Contamination in Interferometric Measurements of the Redshifted 21 Cm Power Spectrum
Subtraction of astrophysical foreground contamination from “dirty” sky maps produced by simulated measurements of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) has been performed by fitting a 2-order polynomial along the spectral dimension of each pixel in the data cubes. The simulations include the effects of the frequency-dependent primary antenna beams and synthesized array beams and recover the one-d...
متن کاملLensing Reconstruction Using Redshifted 21 Cm Fluctuations
We investigate the potential of second generation measurements of redshifted 21 cm radiation from the epoch of reionization (EOR) to reconstruct the matter density fluctuations along the line of sight. To do so we generalize the quadratic methods developed for the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) to 21 cm fluctuations. The three dimensional signal can be analyzed into a finite number of line o...
متن کاملForegrounds for redshifted 21 cm studies of reionization : GMRT 153 MHz observations
Foreground subtraction is the biggest challenge for future redshifted 21 cm observations to probe reionization. We use a short GMRT observation at 153MHz to characterize the statistical properties of the background radiation across ∼ 1◦ to sub-arcminutes angular scales, and across a frequency band of 5MHz with 62.5 kHz resolution. The statistic we use is the visibility correlation function, or ...
