Funded Activity Summary

Measuring the glow from our Cosmic Dawn. The Cosmic Dawn is one of the last unexplored periods of the history of the Universe. The faint glow of intergalactic hydrogen during the birth of the first galaxies can shed light on the formation of structure in the Universe. Many are seeking the first detection, notably teams in Australia, the USA, and the Netherlands. This project proposes to synthesise the knowledge across these communities for the first time, resulting in a new, cross-validated analysis utilising worldwide expertise, for the benefit of Australia's Murchison Widefield Array. This collaborative approach will discover the best methods for precision analysis of the early Universe, and definitively embed Australia as the global leader in the search for our Cosmic Dawn.
