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.read more

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
Patrick J. McDonald,A. Roy +1 more
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.

Late-time cosmology with 21cm intensity mapping experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework for forecasting cosmological constraints from future neutral hydrogen intensity mapping experiments at low to intermediate redshifts, and establish a simple way of comparing such surveys with optical galaxy redshift surveys.

Recovering lost 21 cm radial modes via cosmic tidal reconstruction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply tidal reconstruction to the simulated 21 cm fields and recover the lost large-scale radial modes successfully, estimating the detectability of the cross-correlation signals and find they can be detected at high significance with current 21 cm experiments.

H i intensity mapping with MeerKAT: primary beam effects on foreground cleaning
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the coupling between beam sidelobes and the foreground structure can complicate the cleaning of the MeerKAT beam and show that this effect is constrained to a narrow region in parallel space and can be reduced if the maps are carefully re-smoothed to a common lower resolution.

TL;DR: Cohn et al. as mentioned in this paper used low-order Lagrangian perturbation theory to study the ability of 21-cm experiments to perform reconstruction and how augmenting these surveys with galaxy redshift surveys at relatively low number densities can improve performance.
