Description

The Precision Array to Probe the Epoch of Reionization (PAPER, http://eor.berkeley.edu) was built to measure the redshifted 21-cm line from cosmic reionization. Here, I will present the analysis of the last season of PAPER observations, with particular focus to image and characterize the foreground emission, a crucial task in order to detect the much fainter 21-cm emission.
