Collaborative Research: From 21 cm Observations to Precision Reionization Science

该计划的目标是通过在静止波长21 cm处的红移氢发射线来研究再电离（EoR）的时期。 EoR是宇宙历史上最后未被探索的阶段之一。这项工作的更广泛影响包括通过一个名为非传统本科生研究经验（RENTU）的项目培训妇女和代表性不足的少数民族学生。该奖项将为美国的成像功率谱分析团队提供支持，该团队一直处于分析澳大利亚Mileura宽场阵列望远镜数据的最前沿，并将为新的氢时代再电离阵列（HERA）提供基石分析管道之一，HERA是南非国家科学基金会支持的射电望远镜。

The goal of this program is to study the epoch of reionization (EoR) through the redshifted hydrogen emission line at rest wavelength 21 cm. The EoR is one of the last unexplored phases in the history of the universe. Broader impacts of the work include training of women and underrepresented minority students through a program called Research Experiences for Non-Traditional Undergraduates (RENTU).The award will provide support for the US-based imaging power spectrum analysis team, which has been at the forefront of analyzing data from the Mileura Widefield Array telescope in Australia, and will provide one of the cornerstone analysis pipelines for the new Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA), an NSF-supported radio telescope in South Africa.
