A new MWA limit on the 21 cm power spectrum at redshifts ∼13-17

A new MWA limit on the 21 cm power spectrum at redshifts ∼13-17

Observations in the lowest Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) band between 75 and 100 MHz have the potential to constrain the distribution of neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium at redshift ∼13-17. Using 15 h of MWA data, we analyse systematics in this band such as radio-frequency interference...
