TL;DR: In this article, the physics of the 21 cm transition were reviewed, focusing on processes relevant at high redshifts, and the insights to be gained from such observations were described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss new constraints on the epoch of cosmic reionization and test the assumption that most of the ionizing photons responsible arose from high-redshift star-forming galaxies.

TL;DR: 21cmFAST as discussed by the authors is a semi-numeric modeling tool designed to simulate the cosmological 21-cm signal, which can be used to compute the brightness temperature.

TL;DR: The 2012 UDF12 campaign provided the best constraints to date on the abundance, luminosity distribution, and spectral properties of early star-forming galaxies as discussed by the authors, and the results of the UDF-12 campaign were used to infer redshift-dependent ultraviolet (UV) luminosity densities, reionization histories, and electron scattering optical depth evolution consistent with the available data.
