Abstract

This paper presents the design and deployment of the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA) phase II system. HERA is designed as a staged experiment targeting 21 cm emission measurements of the Epoch of Reionization. First results from the phase I array are published as of early 2022, and deployment of the phase II system is nearing completion. We describe the design of the phase II system and discuss progress on commissioning and future upgrades. As HERA is a designated Square Kilometre Array pathfinder instrument, we also show a number of “case studies” that investigate systematics seen while commissioning the phase II system, which may be of use in the design and operation of future arrays. Common pathologies are likely to manifest in similar ways across instruments, and many of these sources of contamination can be mitigated once the source is identified.

氢再电离阵列（HERA）第二阶段部署和试运行

本文介绍了氢再电离阵列（HERA）第二阶段系统的设计和部署情况。氢再电离阵列被设计为一个分阶段实验，目标是对再电离纪元进行 21 厘米发射测量。第一阶段阵列的首批结果已于2022年初公布，第二阶段系统的部署工作也已接近尾声。我们将介绍第二阶段系统的设计，并讨论调试和未来升级的进展情况。由于 HERA 是一个指定的平方公里阵列探路者仪器，我们还展示了一些 "案例研究"，研究第二阶段系统调试过程中出现的系统性问题，这些研究可能对未来阵列的设计和运行有用。各种仪器的共同病理现象可能会以类似的方式表现出来，一旦确定了污染源，就可以减少其中的许多污染源。

期刊介绍： The Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP), the technical journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP), has been published regularly since 1889, and is an integral part of the ASP''s mission to advance the science of astronomy and disseminate astronomical information. The journal provides an outlet for astronomical results of a scientific nature and serves to keep readers in touch with current astronomical research. It contains refereed research and instrumentation articles, invited and contributed reviews, tutorials, and dissertation summaries.
