We explore methods for robust estimation of the 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR). A Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) is introduced for measuring the spatial temperature fluctuation power spectrum from the EoR. The KDE…

Upper limits from the current generation of interferometers targeting the 21-cm signal from high redshifts have recently begun to rule out physically realistic, though still extreme, models of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). While…

The epoch of reionization power spectrum is expected to evolve strongly with redshift, and it is this variation with cosmic history that will allow us to begin to place constraints on the physics of reionization. The primary obstacle to the…

Recent upper bounds from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) on the cosmological 21-cm power spectrum at redshifts $z \approx 8, 10$, have been used to constrain $L_{\rm X<2 \, keV}/{\rm SFR}$, the soft-band X-ray luminosity…
