Abstract

With the advent of radio telescopes such as LOFAR, MWA, PAPER, a new observational window on the high-redshift universe has been opened. More specifically, we expect in the near future to be able to detect for the first time the 21cm signal from the diffuse Intergalactic Medium (IGM) prior to its full reionization and thus probe the "dark ages". In this talk I will discuss about the theoretical modeling of the reionization process, the observability of the associated 21cm signal and the efforts ongoing within the LOFAR Epoch of Reionization Working Group.

See you on Thursday in sala seminari, Via Ranzani 1, floor -1, on time at 14:00.

Next seminars:

  • Thursday March 24th, at 14:00 Ivan Minchev (AIP, Potsdam, DE)
  • Thursday March 31st, at 14:00 Valentina D'Orazi (INAF, Oss. Astron. Padova)
