Cosmology with HI Intensity Mapping
Laura Wolz, Gabriele Autieri, José Luis Bernal +18
The redshifted spectral emission from neutral hydrogen (HI) at rest wavelength 21 cm can be used as a tracer of large-scale structure and its evolution. Within the HI intensity map…
meer21cm: an Analysis Pipeline and Comprehensive Toolkit for HI Intensity Mapping
Zhaoting Chen, Steven Cunnington, Daniel Tassie +23
We present meer21cm, a comprehensive python package for cosmological data analysis of single-dish HI intensity mapping surveys. This package is simple to use, with a modularised co…
Methodological Frontiers in 21-cm Intensity Mapping: the Treatment of Systematics and Foreground Contamination
Marta Spinelli, Matilde Barberi-Squarotti, José Luis Bernal +29
The distribution of neutral hydrogen (HI) in the post-reionization universe traces the cosmic large-scale structure and therefore serves as a powerful cosmological probe. An effici…
Single-dish HI Intensity Mapping with the SKAO: Precursor Progress with MeerKAT's Large Area Synoptic Survey (MeerKLASS)
Steven Cunnington, Jingying Wang, Mario G. Santos +16
Using the SKAO to map the intensity of neutral hydrogen's 21cm emission line will be a golden opportunity to constrain models of cosmology. To access the largest cosmological scale…
Revealing cosmological fluctuations in 21cm intensity maps with MeerKLASS: from maps to power spectra
Steven Cunnington, Matilde Barberi-Squarotti, José Luis Bernal +8
Mapping the integrated 21cm emission line from dark matter-tracing neutral hydrogen gas is the primary science goal for MeerKLASS (MeerKAT's Large Area Synoptic Survey). Prior to t…
Hydrogen intensity mapping with MeerKAT: Preserving cosmological signal by optimising contaminant separation
Isabella P. Carucci, José L. Bernal, Steven Cunnington +9
Removing contaminants is a delicate, yet crucial step in neutral hydrogen (HI) intensity mapping and often considered the technique's greatest challenge. Here, we address this chal…
