Enhanced global signal of neutral hydrogen due to excess radiation at cosmic dawn

C Feng, G Holder - The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the global 21 cm signal calculation incorporating a possible radio background at
early times, and find that the global 21 cm signal shows a much stronger absorption feature …
