Toward 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 کاملDetecting ionized bubbles in redshifted 21 cm maps
The reionization of the Universe, it is believed, occurred by the growth of ionized regions (bubbles) in the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM). We study the possibility of detecting these bubbles in radio-interferometric observations of redshifted neutral hydrogen (HI) 21 cm radiation. The signal (< 1 mJy) will be buried in noise and foregrounds, the latter being at least a few orders of magni...
متن کاملRedshifted 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 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 ...
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...
