Olivier Doré Aspen - Cosmological Signals from Cosmic Dawn to Present - January 2018 11 PROBING THE EPOCH OF REIONIZATION
Fluctuations in Continuum Bands • SPHEREx orbits enable deep/frequent observations of about 200 sq. deg near the ecliptic poles (great for systematics!) Current Measurements • SPHEREx wavelength coverage and 1 σ resolution will enable large-scale measurement of spatial fluctuations in the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL).
• In particular, SPHEREx will monitor/explain the Intra-Halo Light and its evolution (CIBER, Zemcov++14).
• SPHEREx has the raw sensitivity to probe the expected EOR signal (but separation with low z signal will be challenging).
• The sensitivity in this region will enable deep intensity mapping regimes using multiple lines at all redshift, and maybe Lyα at high redshift (see Croft++15) see Tzu-Ching’s talk tonight Olivier Doré Aspen - Cosmological Signals from Cosmic Dawn to Present - January 2018 12 SPHEREX TEAM Jamie Bock (PI) Caltech/JPL Roland de Putter JPL

Olivier Doré Aspen - Cosmological Signals from Cosmic Dawn to Present - January 2018 13 SPHEREX WILL ENABLE ROBUST AND UNIQUE SCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS
•SPHEREx will create the first all sky near-infrared spectroscopic survey: ➡SPHEREx will create a dataset of lasting legacy. ➡High quality archival products are now fully part of the MIDEX mission.
•SPHEREx offers a simple and very robust design and modus operandi: ➡It naturally enables a high control of systematics thanks to multiple built-in redundancy.
•SPHEREx will also enable other original and powerful studies on EOR: ➡The extra-galactic background light from z=0 till the reionization era. ➡Relies on broadband fluctuation measurements or line intensity mapping.
•Community support is important! ➡If you want SPHEREx to happen, please mention it in your papers or talks.

Olivier Doré SPHEREx Second Community Workshop - CfA, January 2018 14 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS • The pixel size under samples the PSF, isn’t that bad? ➡ For sources for known positions, we know the PSF and pointing in each image and can do optimal forced photometry (a la Tractor). For unknown source positions yes there is some degradation of sensitivity for aperture photometry. Sensitivities quoted for sources with known positions.
• How can SPHEREx be more sensitive than WISE? ➡ We checked. SPHEREx has long integrations that are photon noise limited, and fewer effective pixels in the PSF. These more than compensate for 2x smaller mirror diameter.
• Isn’t SPHEREx confusion limited with 6” pixels? ➡ Confusion is minor in high-latitude sky at our sensitivity, and blended galaxies are flagged based on PS-DES and WISE images and removed from the cosmology survey. Confusion is definitely an issue in the Galactic plane and in the deep fields.
• Why not make the pixel size smaller? Or spectral resolution higher? 2 ➡ Sensitivity. The photo signal goes down as θpix and the integration time goes 2 down as θpix since more pointings are required to cover the sky. Photon noise = read noise with 5″ pixels. Similar arguments apply to spectral resolution. After extensive simulations, modest changes in pixel size do not substantially change the confusion limit.
