Constraining dark matter through 21 cm observations
Beyond reionization epoch cosmic hydrogen is neutral and can be directly observed through its 21 cm line signal. If dark matter (DM) decays or annihilates the corresponding energy input affects the hydrogen kinetic temperature and ionized fraction, and contributes to the Lyα background. The changes induced by these processes on the 21 cm signal can then be used to constrain the proposed DM cand...
متن کاملProspects 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 کاملDeep Observations with the Parkes 21-cm Multibeam System
We report on a preliminary analysis of a 5600 sec per point survey of 32 square degrees in Centaurus, carried out with the Parkes 13-beam system. The signal-to-noise ratio is found to improve as √ tobs for the whole integration. We have detected 102 HI sources between +250 and +12,700 km s−1 either by eye or by using the new galaxy-finding algorithm PICASSO. Over half of these are new HI detect...
متن کامل21-cm Synthesis Observations of Virgohi 21 - a Possible Dark Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
Many observations indicate that dark matter dominates the extra-galactic Universe, yet no totally dark structure of galactic proportions has ever been convincingly identified. Previously we have suggested that VIRGOHI 21, a 21-cm source we found in the Virgo Cluster using Jodrell Bank, was a possible dark galaxy because of its broad line-width (∼ 200 km s−1) unaccompanied by any visible gravita...
متن کاملAssociated 21 - cm H i absorption towards the radio galaxy 3 C 452 ( J 2245 + 3941 )
We report the detection of 21-cm Hi absorption towards the core of the Fanaroff-Riley II radio galaxy 3C 452 (J2245+3941). The absorption profile is well resolved into three components; the strongest and narrowest component being coincident with the velocity corresponding to [O iii] emission lines while the other two components are blue-shifted with respect to it by ∼30 amd ∼115 km s −1. If the...
