Advancing extragalactic spectral line studies with the Square Kilometre Array Observatory

Jacco Th. van Loon, Viviana Casasola, Manuela Bischetti +6

We present an overview of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) science potential in the area of extragalactic spectral lines besides 21-cm neutral hydrogen. It highlights…

The kinematic contribution to the cosmic number count dipole

J. D. Wagenveld, S. von Hausegger, H-R. Klöckner +1

Measurements of the number count dipole with large surveys have shown amplitudes in tension with kinematic predictions based on the observed Doppler dipole of the cosmic microwave…
