The multi - frequency angular power spectrum of the epoch of reionization 21 cm signal
Observations of redshifted 21cm radiation from neutral hydrogen (HI) at high redshifts is an important future probe of reionization. We consider the Multi-frequency Angular Power Spectrum (MAPS) to quantify the statistics of the HI signal as a joint function of the angular multipole l and frequency separation ∆ν. The signal at two different frequencies is expected to get decorrelated as ∆ν is i...
متن کاملLyman-alpha radiative transfer during the Epoch of Reionization: contribution to 21-cm signal fluctuations
During the epoch of reionization, Ly-α photons emitted by the first stars can couple the neutral hydrogen spin temperature to the kinetic gas temperature, providing the opportunity to observe the gas in emission or absorption in the 21-cm line. Given the bright foregrounds, it is of prime importance to determine precisely the fluctuations signature of the signal, to be able to extract it by its...
متن کاملThe Theory and Simulation of the 21-cm Background from the Epoch of Reionization
The redshifted 21-cm line of distant neutral H atoms provides a probe of the cosmic “dark ages” and the epoch of reionization (“EOR”) which ended them, within the first billion years of cosmic time. The radio continuum produced by this redshifted line can be seen in absorption or emission against the cosmic microwave background (“CMB”) at meterwaves, yielding information about the thermal and i...
متن کاملPrimordial non-Gaussianity from the 21 cm power spectrum during the epoch of reionization.
Primordial non-Gaussianity is a crucial test of inflationary cosmology. We consider the impact of non-Gaussianity on the ionization power spectrum from 21 cm emission at the epoch of reionization. We focus on the power spectrum on large scales at redshifts of 7 to 8 and explore the expected constraint on the local non-Gaussianity parameter f(NL) for current and next-generation 21 cm experiments...
متن کاملImproving Foreground Subtraction in Statistical Observations of 21 Cm Emission from the Epoch of Reionization
Statistical observations of the Epoch of Reionization using the 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of structure formation and the first luminous objects. However, these observations are complicated by a host of strong foreground sources. Several foreground removal techniques have been proposed in the literature, and it has been assumed that thes...
