(Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature)
(survey aiming at highly-redshifted 21-cm detection)

EDGES (Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature) is a radio survey aimed at detecting highly redshifted 21-cm line from neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) during the epoch of reionization. It uses a purpose-built telescope array located at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, Australia. A signal detection was announced in 2018, which has been challenged.
