Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature

The Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature consists of specialized antennas that measure signals between 50 and 200 megahertz frequencies at the observatory site.

The installation began operations in August 2015, marking a new chapter in the scientific exploration of the earliest cosmic events from billions of years ago.

Scientists from MIT Haystack Observatory and Arizona State University collaborate with Australian researchers to advance understanding of universal cosmic structures.

The remote location in Western Australia provides minimal interference from human-generated signals, allowing researchers to capture clear data from space phenomena.

In March 2018, the telescope detected an absorption profile at 78 megahertz, suggesting new insights about the formation of primordial stars.
