At the beginning of the reionization epoch, radiation sources produce fluctuations in the redshifted 21 cm background. We show that different types of sources (such as miniquasars, Population II and III stars, supernovae, etc.) produce distinct signatures in the 21 cm signal radial profiles and statistical fluctuations, through which they can be identified. Furthermore, we show that the 21 cm signal from X-ray-emitting sources is much easier to observe than was expected, due to a previously…

21 cm Signals from Early Ionizing Sources
We investigate the 21 cm signals from the UV ionizing sources in the reionization epoch. The formation and evolution of 21 cm signals depend essentially on the kinetics of photons in the physical and…
Detecting early galaxies through their 21‐cm signature
New observations over the next few years of the emission of distant objects will help unfold the chapter in cosmic history around the era of the first galaxies. These observations will use the…
Constraining the unexplored period between the dark ages and reionization with observations of the global 21 cm signal
Observations of the frequency dependence of the global brightness temperature of the redshifted 21 cm line of neutral hydrogen may be possible with single dipole experiments. In this paper, we…
21-cm fluctuations from inhomogeneous X-ray heating before reionization
Many models of early structure formation predict a period of heating immediately preceding reionization, when X-rays raise the gas temperature above that of the cosmic microwave background. These…
Enhanced Detectability of Pre-reionization 21 cm Structure
Before the universe was reionized, it was likely that the spin temperature of intergalactic hydrogen was decoupled from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by UV radiation from the first stars…
Cross-correlations between 21 cm, X-ray and infrared backgrounds
The history of the cosmological reionization is still unclear. Two ionizing sources, stars and QSOs, are believed to play important roles during this epoch. Besides the 21 cm signals, the infrared…
Decoding the X-ray Properties of Pre-Reionization Era Sources
Evolution in the X-ray luminosity -- star formation rate ($L_X$-SFR) relation could provide the first evidence of a top-heavy stellar initial mass function in the early universe, as the abundance of…
Imaging the redshifted 21-cm pattern around the first sources during the cosmic dawn using the SKA
Understanding properties of the first sources in the Universe using the redshifted \HI ~21-cm signal is one of the major aims of present and upcoming low-frequency experiments. We investigate the…
21 cm cosmology in the 21st century.
TLDR
This review detail the physics that governs the 21 cm signal and describe what might be learnt from upcoming observations, and generalize the discussion to intensity mapping of other atomic and molecular lines.
What does the first highly redshifted 21-cm detection tell us about early galaxies?
The Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES) recently reported a strong 21-cm absorption signal relative to the cosmic microwave background at $z \sim 18$. While its…

21 Centimeter Fluctuations from Cosmic Gas at High Redshifts
The relatively large Thomson optical depth, ?es, inferred recently from the WMAP observations suggests that the universe was reionized in a more complex manner than previously believed. However, the…

A Method for Separating the Physics from the Astrophysics of High-Redshift 21 Centimeter Fluctuations
Fluctuations in the 21 cm brightness from cosmic hydrogen at redshifts z 6 have their source in the primordial density perturbations from inflation, as well as the radiation from galaxies. We propose…

The spin temperature of warm interstellar H I
