Constraining the intergalactic medium at z ≈ 9.1 using LOFAR Epoch of Reionization observations
Cosmology, Journal, Observational astronomy
We derive constraints on the thermal and ionization states of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at redshift $\approx 9.1$ using new upper limits on the 21-cm power spectrum measured by the LOFAR radio telescope and a prior on the ionized fraction…
