21 cm Cosmology
Miguel Morales
University of Washington
Measurement of the spatial distribution of neutral hydrogen via the
redshifted 21 cm line promises to revolutionize our knowledge of the
Epoch of Reionization (EoR), and may provide a powerful new tool for
observational cosmology at redshifts 1-4. In my talk I will give an
accessible introduction to this new field, discuss how we plan to observe
the faint 21 cm fluctuations in the face of strong foregrounds, and review
the status of the first generation observatories.
