Description

Deep imaging of the structures of the epoch of reionization (EoR) over five targeted fields is selected as one of the highest priority science objective for SKA1. Selecting the ‘clean’ fields is important for the future SKA CD/EoR observations, and pre-observations of the candidate fields with the current radio facilities can help us estimating the computing capabilities to be required for achieving the required data quality and optimize the data reduction techniques. In this work, we adopt the data observed with MWA (project ID: G0044 ) and perform deep imaging of the selected field of two frequency bands. Some results will be presented in this talk.
