Abstract

The recent discovery of the z = 7.085 quasar has opened up a new window to peep into the inter galactic medium during the epoch of reionization (EoR). The detection of the ionized region around such a high redshift quasar is in principle capable of constraining the neutral fraction of the IGM and the quasar's age. Here we present the possibility of detection of such an ionized region around a quasar at z = 8 using redshifted 21-cm observations of the neutral hydrogen and possible ways to constrain IGM neutral fraction and quasar's age through this detection.
