+Foreground Simulation for 21 cm Reionization Signal Detection
+=============================================================
The |FG21sim|_ is a low-frequency radio foregrounds simulator
-aiming to provide the realistic simulation of the common foregrounds
+aiming to provide the simulation of the common foregrounds
impeding the 21 cm reionization signal detection.
The simulated foregrounds can be used to evaluate the impacts of
different foreground components on the EoR signal, and can be also
-used to help develop and test various foreground removal/separation
-methods.
