Redshifted 21 cm Emission From the Pre-Reionization Era I. Mean Signal and Linear Fluctuations
We use cosmological simulations of reionization to predict the possible signal from the redshifted 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen in the pre-reionization era and to investigate the observability of this signal. We show that the separation of the mean (global) signal over the whole sky from the known foreground contamination may be feasible, but very challenging. In agreement with previous studi...
متن کاملCOSMIC REIONIZATION AND THE 21 cm SIGNAL: COMPARISON BETWEEN AN ANALYTICAL MODEL AND A SIMULATION
We measure several properties of the reionization process and the corresponding low-frequency 21 cm signal associated with the neutral hydrogen distribution, using a large volume, high-resolution simulation of cosmic reionization. The brightness temperature of the 21 cm signal is derived by postprocessing this numerical simulationwith a semianalytical prescription. Our study extends to high red...
متن کاملStudying the sources of cosmic reionization with 21-cm fluctuations
We explore the ability of measurements of the 21-cm power spectrum during reionization to enable the simultaneous reconstruction of the reionization history and the properties of the ionizing sources. For various sets of simulated 21-cm measurements, we perform maximum likelihood fits in order to constrain the reionization and galaxy formation histories. We employ a flexible six-parameter model...
متن کاملToward Empirical Constraints on the Global Redshifted 21 Cm Brightness Temperature during the Epoch of Reionization
Preliminary results are presented from a simple, single-antenna experiment designed to measure the all-sky radio spectrum between 100 and 200 MHz. The system used an internal comparison-switching scheme to reduce non-smooth instrumental contaminants in the measured spectrum to 75 mK. From the observations, we place an initial upper limit of 450 mK on the relative brightness temperature of the r...
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 ...
