Impact of Primordial Black Hole population on 21 cm observables at high redshift

The 21-cm signal, one of the most promising probes of the high-redshift Universe, has traditionally been modelled without accounting for the effects of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the pre-JWST era, primarily due to the lack of observational evidence for AGNs at z > 6. However, following the discovery of several AGNs at redshifts as high as z ~ 10 by JWST, it has become imperative to incorporate the impact of these early AGNs when predicting the 21-cm signal. Supposing that these AGNs are
