The Final 21-cm Cosmology Frontier
Radiation emitted by neutral hydrogen during the Universe's first billion years holds detailed information about its first stars, galaxies, black holes and fundamental physics. Achieving a detection of its faint "21-cm signal", currently redshifted to several meter wavelengths, has been extremely difficult due to the bright radio emission from other sources, human-made interference signals, the ionosphere, and telescope imperfections. It thus remains one of the hardest frontiers in present-day cosmology. In the past years, we made tremendous progress in mitigating these challenges, thanks to access to world-class low-frequency radio telescopes and research into innovative data analysis…
