Advances in Detecting the 21-cm Signal from the Epoch of Reionization

This conference talk explores the latest advances in detecting the 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization, presented by Leon V. E. Koopmans at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delivered as part of the "Radio Cosmology and Continuum Observations in the SKA Era: A Synergic View" program, the 34-minute presentation delves into cutting-edge research related to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope project. Learn about the challenges and breakthroughs in observing signals from the early universe, particularly focusing on the 21-cm hydrogen line that provides crucial insights into cosmic reionization. The talk is relevant to researchers, astronomers, and students interested in radio cosmology, particularly as the SKA prepares to begin operations in 2027 as the world's largest radio telescope. The presentation is part of a broader two-week program bringing together experts in radio cosmology and continuum science to foster collaboration and train the next generation of researchers in these specialized fields.
