Characterization of inpaint residuals in interferometric measurements of the epoch of reionization
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023)To mitigate the effects of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) on the data analysis pipelines of 21 cm interferometric instruments, numerous inpaint techniques have been developed. In this paper, we examine the qualitative ... -
Constraining the astrophysics and cosmology from 21 cm tomography using deep learning with the SKA
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Future Square Kilometre Array (SKA) surveys are expected to generate huge data sets of 21 cm maps on cosmological scales from the Epoch of Reionization. We assess the viability of exploiting machine learning techniques, ... -
Constraining the reionization history using deep learning from 21-cm tomography with the Square Kilometre Array
(Oxford University Press, 2020)Upcoming 21-cm surveys with the SKA1-LOW telescope will enable imaging of the neutral hydrogen distribution on cosmological scales in the early Universe. These surveys are expected to generate huge imaging data sets that ... -
Extracting the global signal from 21-cm fluctuations: the multitracer approach
(Oxford University Press, 2019)The multitracer technique employs a ratio of densities of two differently biased galaxy samples that trace the same underlying matter density field, and was proposed to alleviate the cosmic variance problem. Here, we propose ... -
Foreground modelling via Gaussian process regression: an application to HERA data
(Oxford University Press, 2020)The key challenge in the observation of the redshifted 21-cm signal from cosmic reionization is its separation from the much brighter foreground emission. Such separation relies on the different spectral properties of the ... -
Improved upper limits on the 21 cm signal power spectrum of neutral hydrogen at z ≈ 9.1 from LOFAR
(Oxford University Press, 2020)A new upper limit on the 21 cm signal power spectrum at a redshift of z ≈ 9.1 is presented, based on 141 h of data obtained with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR). The analysis includes significant improvements in spectrally ... -
Probing reionization with LOFAR (Low Frequency Array) using 21-cm redshift space distortions
(Oxford University Press, 2013)One of the most promising ways to study the epoch of reionization (EoR) is through radio observations of the redshifted 21-cm line emission from neutral hydrogen. These observations are complicated by the fact that the ...
