-Realistic Foreground Simulation for EoR 21cm Signal Detection
-=============================================================
-
-This |fg21sim|_ package provides the tools to simulate the
-*realistic* low-frequency radio foregrounds, which can be further
-used to test various foreground removal or separation methods, for the
-purpose of successfully detecting the 21cm cosmological signal arising
-from the neutral hydrogen (HI) at epoch of reionization (EoR).
+Realistic 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
+impeding the EoR 21cm 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.
