3rd Global 21-cm Workshop - October 19-21, 2020 - Virtual Meeting

The field of 21-cm Cosmology is experiencing a rapid growth, with both theory and experiments producing new high impact science on a regular basis. The theme of the global 21-cm signal has been driving the attention of the international community since the results from the EDGES Low Band experiment were published in early 2018. The reported signal detected by EDGES cannot be explained by standard physical models and triggers questions on both theoretical and experimental aspects. Several experimental groups around the globe are currently exploiting different strategies and experimental approaches aiming at throwing new light on the matter. At the same time, theorists are trying hard to explain the detection using both standard physics and exotic scenarios. This meeting aims at bringing together, for the 3rd time, the Global 21-cm community, both experimentalist and theoreticians, to discuss the progress in the field and the prospects going forward.

The meeting was organized and hosted by the University of Cambridge, UK. .

  • Radio Astrophysics from the Moon 鈥 Jack Burns. Abstract: A new era of exploration of the low radio frequency Universe from the Moon will soon be underway with landed payload missions facilitated by NASA鈥檚 Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. CLPS landers are scheduled to deliver two radio science experiments, ROLSES to the nearside and LuSEE to the farside, beginning later this year. These instruments will be pathfinders for a 21-cm Global Signal Cosmology telescope (DAPPER) and a 10-km diameter interferometric array, FARSIDE, composed of 128 pairs of dipole antennas. ROLSES and LuSEE, operating at frequencies from ~100 kHz to a few tens of MHz, will investigate the plasma environment above the lunar surface and measure the fidelity of radio spectra on the surface. ROLSES will measure the photoelectron sheath density to better understand the charging of the lunar surface. LuSEE will measure the local magnetic field and exo-ionospheric density, interplanetary radio bursts, and the galactic synchrotron spectrum. DAPPER is designed to open a new window to the cosmos, the Dark Ages and Cosmic Dawn, using the highly redshifted hyperfine line of neutral hydrogen observed from 10-110 MHz. FARSIDE will break new ground by imaging radio emission from Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) beyond two solar radii, and detect auroral radio emission from the magnetic fields of nearby potentially habitable exoplanets.
