摘要:

我们执行Fisher分析以估计再电离时期(EoR)模型参数的预期约束(即,最小维里温度、电离效率和电离光子的平均自由程),同时考虑到望远镜、MWA和LOFAR的热噪声。我们考虑如何列入21厘米的双谱改进的约束相比,单独使用的功率谱。假设我们完美地去除了前景,我们发现,由21cmFAST代码计算的双谱可以比功率谱更紧密地约束EoR模型参数,因为双谱比功率谱对EoR模型参数更敏感。我们还发现,EoR模型参数之间的简并可以通过将双谱与功率谱相结合来打破。

英文摘要:

We perform a Fisher analysis to estimate the expected constraints on the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) model parameters (i.e., minimum virial temperature, the ionizing efficiency and the mean free path of ionizing photons) taking into account the thermal noise of the exisitting telescopes, MWA and LOFAR. We consider how the inclusion of the 21cm bispectrum improves the constraints compared to using the power spectrum alone. Assuming that we perfectly remove the foreground, we found that the bispectrum, which is calculated by the 21cmFAST code, can constrain the EoR model parameters more tightly than the power spectrum since the bispectrum is more sensitive to the EoR model parameters than the power spectrum. We also found that degeneracy between the EoR model parameters can be broken by combining the bispectrum with the power spectrum.
