Foreground simulations for the LOFAR - Epoch of Reionization Experiment
Future high redshift 21-cm experiments will suffer from a high degree of contamination, due both to astrophysical foregrounds and to non-astrophysical and instrumental effects. In order to reliably extract the cosmological signal from the observed data, it is essential to understand very well all data components and their influence on the extracted signal. Here we present simulated astrophysica...
متن کاملToward Epoch of Re-ionization Measurements with Wide-Field LOFAR Observations
This paper explores the potential for statistical epoch of re-ionization (EOR) measurements using wide field LOFAR observations. New developments in low frequency radio instrumentation and wide field signal processing allow very sensitive EOR measurements, and the analysis techniques enabled by these advances offer natural ways of separating the EOR signal from the residual foreground emission....

متن کاملSemi–automatic Removal of Foreground Stars from Images of Galaxies
A new procedure, designed to remove foreground stars from galaxy profiles is presented here. Although several programs exist for stellar and faint object photometry, none of them treat star removal from the images very carefully. I present my attempt to develop such a system, and briefly compare the performance of my software to one of the well known stellar photometry packages, DAOPhot (Stetso...
متن کاملThe LOFAR EoR Data Model: (I) Effects of Noise and Instrumental Corruptions on the 21-cm Reionization Signal-Extraction Strategy
A number of experiments are set to measure the 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). The common denominator of these experiments are the large data sets produced, contaminated by various instrumental effects, ionospheric distortions, RFI and strong Galactic and extragalactic foregrounds. In this paper, the first in a series, we present the Data Model that will b...
