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…

Emission-line Stacking of 21cm Intensity Maps with MeerKLASS: Inference Pipeline and Application to the L-band Deep-field Data
Zhaoting Chen, Steven Cunnington, Alkistis Pourtsidou +11
We present a novel analysis of observational systematics through the emission-line stacking of the MeerKLASS L-band deep-field intensity maps, following the detection in arXiv:2407…

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…
