Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Intensity Mapping of Dark Energy

TLDR
Here it is shown how the study of acoustic oscillation in the 21 cm brightness can be accomplished by economical three-dimensional intensity mapping, and may be the starting point for a new class of dark energy experiments dedicated to large angular scale mapping of the radio sky, shedding light on dark energy.
Abstract
The expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating, and the mysterious anti-gravity agent of this acceleration has been called ``dark energy''. To measure the dynamics of dark energy, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) can be used. Previous discussions of the BAO dark energy test have focused on direct measurements of redshifts of as many as $10^9$ individual galaxies, by observing the 21cm line or by detecting optical emission. Here we show how the study of acoustic oscillation in the 21 cm brightness can be accomplished by economical three dimensional intensity mapping. If our estimates gain acceptance they may be the starting point for a new class of dark energy experiments dedicated to large angular scale mapping of the radio sky, shedding light on dark energy.

Reionization and Cosmology with 21-cm Fluctuations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss recent advances in theoretical understanding of the epoch of reionization (EoR), the application of 21-cm tomography to cosmology and measurements of the dark energy equation of state after reionisation, and the instrumentation and observational techniques shared by 21cm EoR and postreionization cosmology machines.

Clustering of dark matter tracers: generalizing bias for the coming era of precision LSS

TL;DR: In this paper, the power spectrum and bispectrum up to 4th order in the initial density perturbations were modeled as a Taylor series in the local mass density, with the unknown coefficients in the series treated as free bias parameters.

Spherical Harmonic Analyses of Intensity Mapping Power Spectra

TL;DR: In this paper, a spherical Fourier-Bessel basis is proposed for analyzing intensity mapping data in a curved sky, which incorporates curved sky effects without difficulty, using visibility-based estimators for the power spectrum, treatments of interloper lines and the "foreground wedge" signature of spectrally smooth foregrounds.
