EOR OBSERVABILITY Character and Observational Signatures of the Cosmic Dark Ages, the First Stars and the Epoch of Reionization

Coordinator: FOUNDATION FOR THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS AND ASTROPHYSICS (BG)

The Epoch of Reionization (EoR), which lasted through most of the first billion years after the Big Bang, is currently at the frontier of cosmological research. During this epoch the first stars and galaxies formed, with profound effects on early cosmological structure formation.Our understanding of this important epoch remains fairly incomplete due to the scarcity of direct observational data. This would be remedied in the near future by a number of large observational projects, including e.g. the radio arrays Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), Atacama Large Millimetre Array and Square Kilometre A…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €100k awarded to the consortium.
