Abstract

The redshifted 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen (H I) is an important future probe of the high-redshift Universe. We have analysed 610 MHz Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations towards detecting this signal from z= 1.32. The multi-frequency angular power spectrum Cℓ(Δν) is used to characterize the statistical properties of the background radiation across angular scales ∼20 arcsec to 10 arcmin, and a frequency bandwidth of 7.5 MHz with resolution 125 kHz. The measured Cℓ(Δν) which ranges from 7 to 18 mK2 is dominated by foregrounds, the expected H I signal CHIℓ (Δν) ∼ 10−6 to 10−7 mK2 is several orders of magnitude smaller and detecting this is a big challenge.
