21-cm Cosmology

Astronomers are trying to observe the 21-cm signal coming from the dark ages, cosmic dawn and the epoch of reionization. The signal will revolutionize our understanding of the structure formation in the universe.

A timeline of the 13.80 billion years of history of the universe from the big bang (left) to the present day (right). The epoch of reionisation is emphasized. Most of the intergalactic Hydrogen were ionized during this period and we are working on the 21-cm signal from this period and beyond. Image credit: ESO.
