TIME-Pilot is designed to make measurements from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), when first stars and galaxies formed ionized intergalactic medium. This will be done via redshifted 157.7 um line singly carbon ([CII]). In particular, produce detection [CII] clustering fluctuations, a signal proportional integrated intensity, summed over all EoR galaxies. thus sensitive emission dwarf galaxies, thought responsible for balance ionizing UV photons, that difficult detect individually with JWST...
Line intensity mapping (LIM) provides a unique and powerful means to probe cosmic structures by measuring the aggregate line emission from all galaxies across redshift. The method is complementary conventional galaxy redshift surveys that are object-based demand exquisite point-source sensitivity. Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME) will measure star formation rate (SFR) during reionization observing redshifted [CII] 158$\mu$m ($6 \lesssim z 9$) in LIM regime. TIME...
Abstract Intensity mapping provides a unique means to probe the epoch of reionization (EoR), when neutral intergalactic medium was ionized by energetic photons emitted from first galaxies. The [C ii ] 158 μ m fine-structure line is typically one brightest emission lines star-forming galaxies and thus promising tracer global EoR star formation activity. However, intensity maps at 6 ≲ z 8 are contaminated interloping CO rotational (3 ≤ J upp 6) lower-redshift Here we present strategy remove...
The Cosmic Dawn and Reionization epochs remain a fundamental but challenging frontier of astrophysics cosmology. We advocate large-scale, multi-tracer approach to develop comprehensive understanding the physics that led formation evolution first stars galaxies. highlight line intensity mapping technique trace multi-phase reionization topology on large scales, measure history in detail. Besides 21cm, we for Lya tomography during epoch Wouthuysen-Field coupling as an additional probe cosmic dawn era.
This proceeding presents the current TIME-Pilot instrument design and status with a focus on close-packed modular detector arrays spectrometers. Results of laboratory tests prototype detectors spectrometers are discussed. is new mm-wavelength grating spectrometer array under development that will study Epoch Reionization (the period time when first stars galaxies ionized intergalactic medium) by mapping fluctuations redshifted 157:7 μm emission line singly carbon ([CII]) from redshift z ~...
The Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME) utilizes grating spectrometers to achieve instantaneous wideband coverage with background-limited sensitivity. A unique approach is employed in which curved gratings are used parallel plate waveguides focus and diffract broadband light from feed horns toward detector arrays. TIME will measure singly ionized carbon fluctuations 5 < z 9 an imaging spectrometer. 32 independent assembled into two stacks of 16, one per polarization. Each...
We present our design for antenna-coupled thermal kinetic inductance detectors (TKIDs) designed Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations in the 150 GHz band. The next generation of telescopes studying CMB will require large arrays on cryogenic focal planes to achieve high sensitivity at cost increased integration and readout complexity. TKIDs have demonstrated photon-limited noise performance comparable traditional bolometers with a radiofrequency (RF) multiplexing architecture that...
