1 Geraint Harker Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, Groningen Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 1
2 Extract a cosmological signal from a datacube, the three axes of which are x and y positions, and frequency. Consider three components: The cosmological signal itself; Iliev et al. (2008) Thomas et al. (2008) Astrophysical foregrounds; Jelić et al. (2008) Noise. The foregrounds are expected to be smooth in frequency, which allows them to be fitted out. Does the signal also have any special properties which should enable us to tease it out? Seek statistics which are robust with respect to making incorrect assumptions about the foregrounds and noise. Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 2
3 100h -1 Mpc Signal Compare Residuals Subtract foregrounds Tile 5 Instrumental response Noise Foregrounds Dirty map Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 3
4 Foregrounds are assumed smooth as a function of frequency. Fit with e.g. a polynomial, or use some sort of nonparametric fit. If the fitting is biased, how does this relate to the statistics used for signal extraction? Are fitting errors correlated in the same way as noise? Better to fit uv points rather than image pixels? Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 4
5 f250c simulation δt b = (stuff) x HI (1+δ) (1+z) 1/2 Skewness=μ 3 /σ 3 At early times, the brightness temperature follows the cosmological density field which is positively skewed. Reionization generates ionized bubbles ( Swiss cheese ), which show up as a peak at zero emission in the one-point distribution, reducing the skewness. At the late stages of reionization, the few remaining areas with emission form a high-δt b tail. Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 5
6 Three simulations: f250c - Iliev et al. (2008) T-QSO Thomas et al. (2008) T-star Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 6
7 Convolve images of the cosmological signal with the instrumental response, and add realistic noise. This is equivalent to achieving perfect foreground subtraction (and very similar to the case when fitting errors have exactly the same characteristics as the noise). Look at the skewness of the onepoint distribution in these residual images as a function of redshift. Some features of the signal recovered, but at low redshift, where the signal is very small, the noise dominates. Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 7
8 Fit the foregrounds with a third-order polynomial in logν. Skewness in the residual maps dominated by fitting errors and noise. Can no longer recover the redshift evolution of skewness. If the noise on each image pixel was independent, then smoothing the images would help (because of correlations in the signal). The real noise is more structured, so we require something more sophisticated. Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 8
9 (Original simulations) For the residual map at each frequency, attempt to reconstruct the cosmological signal with a Wiener deconvolution. Optimal in a leastsquares sense, BUT... Requires knowledge of the correlation properties of the signal and noise, though in fact we ignore the contribution from the fitting errors. Recovers the main features of the evolution of the skewness in the cosmological signal simulations. The dip followed by the rise may be hard for noise and bias to mimic. Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 9
10 Might the real foregrounds be more skewed and will this require a more sophisticated foreground subtraction algorithm? Test the level of accuracy to which the correlation properties of the cosmological signal must be estimated to make the Wiener deconvolution feasible (relation here to power spectrum estimation). Can the whole process be carried out in the uv-plane? Generate larger simulations of the signal which don t require tiling. Effect of exotic reionization scenarios does this wipe out the generic features? Other statistics. Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 10
11 We test the LOFAR EoR signal extraction algorithms using datacubes including the cosmological signal, foregrounds, noise and instrumental effects. Subtracting foregrounds which are smooth in frequency leaves a cube with three components: cosmological signal, noise and fitting errors, which have different correlation properties. We exploit these properties to differentiate the cosmological signal from the fitting errors and noise. The skewness of residual maps denoised in this way shows similar (generic) features as a function of redshift to the cosmological signal simulations. The difficulty comes from a combination of having to accurately subtract foregrounds and deal with structured noise. Wed. 17th Sept Hamburg LOFAR Workshop 11
