We introduce a novel class of signatures---spectral edges and endpoints---in 21-cm measurements resulting from interactions between the standard and dark sectors. Within the context of a kinetically mixed dark photon, we demonstrate how resonant dark photon-to-photon conversions can imprint distinctive spectral features in the observed 21-cm brightness temperature, with implications for current, upcoming, and proposed experiments targeting the cosmic dawn and the dark ages. These signatures open up a qualitatively new way to look for physics beyond the Standard Model using 21-cm observations.

Closing in on Pop-III Stars: Constraints and Predictions Across the Spectrum
Using UV luminosity functions, CMB reionization data, quasar absorption, and the soft X-ray background, the authors set upper limits on Pop-III star formation and show that the global 21-cm signal has a region uniquel...

Excess Radiation from Axion-Photon Conversion
Resonant conversion of axion-like particles into photons in stochastic magnetic fields can produce an f^-2 radio excess matching ARCADE-2 and deepen the 21cm absorption trough seen by EDGES.

Axion-Photon Conversion in FLRW with Primordial Magnetic Fields: Explaining the Radio Excess
Resonant conversion of axion-like particles into photons in nanogauss primordial magnetic fields is claimed to explain both the ARCADE2 radio excess and the EDGES 21-cm trough for axion masses near 10^-14 to 10^-12 eV.
