Great. you should look at the new Greig and Mesinger paper on
sensitivities to cosmological parameters. hera seems to do very well wrt
ska. better than in Jonnie's analysis, i think. not sure why.

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
