EDGES: Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature

EDGES ground-based radio spectrometer, CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia.
EDGES ground-based radio spectrometer, CSIRO’s Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia.

EDGES is a collaboration between Arizona State University and MIT Haystack Observatory, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It is located at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) in a radio-quiet zone in western Australia, with onsite infrastructure support provided by Australia’s CSIRO. 

The EDGES project’s goal is radio detection of hydrogen signatures from the historical period in the formation of the universe known as the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), soon after the formation of the first stars and galaxies.
