Hi HERAtics,
as I mentioned at last week's telecon, I'm planning to attend the
reionization meeting in Greece next May and, after I've talked to the other
participants and heard what they propose to present, there is a slot
available to give an overview of HERA on the behalf of the collaboration.
I'd like to do that if everybody's happy with it and propose the following
title and abstract:
Title: "Beyond the first generation of 21cm radio interferometers: the
Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA)"
Abstract: "The ongoing pursuit of the redshifted 21cm signal by the first
generation of 21cm instruments (GMRT, LOFAR, MWA, PAPER) has dramatically
improved our knowledge of the instrumental design, observational as well
data analysis techniques required to detect the 21cm signal. The Hydrogen
Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) is indeed a next generation 21cm radio
interferometer that draws from lessons from its predecessors, particularly
on array redundancy and foreground avoidance. In my talk I will describe
the HERA and its goals, as well as its early deployment at the Karoo radio
quiet site."
I might not be able to calling in for the telecon tonight, so, please,
email me any input a/o amend related to above. If no objections, I'd submit
it later in the evening,
thanks
Gianni
