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 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 ...
متن کاملConstraints on Fundamental Cosmological Parameters with Upcoming Redshifted 21 Cm Observations
Constraints on cosmological parameters from upcoming measurements with the Mileura Widefield Array—Low Frequency Demonstrator (MWA-LFD) of the redshifted 21 cm power spectrum are forecast assuming a flat ΛCDM cosmology and that the reionization of neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium occurs below a redshift of z = 8. We find that observations with the MWA-LFD cannot constrain the underl...
متن کاملRedshifted 21cm Observations of High Redshift Quasar Proximity Zones
The introduction of low-frequency radio arrays is expected to revolutionize the study of the reionization epoch. Observation of the contrast in redshifted 21cm emission between a large HII region and the surrounding neutral inter-galactic medium (IGM) will be the simplest and most easily interpreted signature. However the highest redshift quasars known are thought to reside in an ionized IGM. U...
