Trustees unanimously approved a resolution on June 19 thanking Acting President Debra Boyd for leading the institution during a year of transition. Also at the meeting, trustees approved a resolution to thank the 56-member...
At cosmic dawn, the 21-centimeter signal from intergalactic hydrogen was
driven by Lyman-$\alpha$ photons from some of the earliest stars, producing a
spatial pattern that reflected the distribution of galaxies at that time....
AbstractMotivated by the desire for wide-field images with well-defined statistical properties for 21 cm cosmology, we implement an optimal mapping pipeline that computes a...
The recent detection of an anomalously strong 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from cosmic dawn by the EDGES low-band radio experiment can be explained if cold dark matter particles scattered off the baryons draining excess...
