Intensity mapping surveys of neutral hydrogen (HI) are a new way to measure the large-scale matter distribution of our Universe at low spatial resolution over a wide range of redshifts, and thus constrain cosmological parameters such as the Universal expansion. MeerKAT can be used in a “single-dish” mode to access large cosmic scales above 1 degree that are not accessible to the...
Mapping the distribution of neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) in the Universe through its 21 cm emission line provides a powerful cosmological probe to map the large-scale structures and shed light on various cosmological phenomena. The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations at low redshifts can potentially be probed by sensitive HI intensity mapping experiments and constrain the properties of dark energy....
The large-scale distribution of neutral hydrogen in the late Universe, mapped through the hydrogen 21cm line emission using radio telescopes, holds significant potential to emerge as a key cosmological probe in the coming years. In the work that I’m going to present, we developed a Gaussian likelihood code for the 21cm intensity mapping power spectrum and the 21cm-galaxy clustering...
