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…
A Statistical Study of HI Gas in AGN-Hosting and Satellite Galaxies from ALFALFA and FASHI
Shuanghao Shu, Wenkai Hu, Junqiang Ge +6
We investigate the relative importance of Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) feedback and environmental processes using a large sample of HI galaxies from the ALFALFA and FASHI surveys.…
Observational Frontiers in the post-EoR 21-cm Intensity Mapping: Lessons from the SKA Pathfinders
Khandakar Md Asif Elahi, Somnath Bharadwaj, Philip Bull +21
The 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen has long been recognised as a promising tracer of the large-scale structure of the Universe. The line is weak however, making individual galaxy…
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…
