Collaborative Research: From 21 cm Observations to Precision Reionization Science

该计划的目标是研究通过静止波长21厘米处的红移氢发射线的再电离(EOR)时代。提高采收率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项名为非传统本科生研究体验(RETU)的计划培训女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生。该奖项将为总部设在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 Widefield阵列望远镜数据的前沿，并将为南非NSF支持的射电望远镜HERA的新氢纪元提供基石分析管道之一。

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.
