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.

Prospects of probing quintessence with H I 21-cm intensity mapping survey

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the prospect of constraining scalar field dark energy models using HI 21-cm intensity mapping surveys and find that these models can be statistically distinguished from the Lambda$CDM model through their imprint on the 21cm angular power spectrum.

Measurement of the baryonic acoustic oscillation scale in 21 cm intensity fluctuations during the reionization era

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a model for reionization to assess the impact of ionized regions on the precision and accuracy with which the BAO scale could be measured using redshifted 21 cm observations.

Point source simulations and Foregroundcleaning techniques for HI intensitymapping

TL;DR: In this paper, a full sky point source catalogue at frequencies around 1 GHz, including the intensity, polarisation, rotation measure and spectral index of the point source, was created and matched to data where available and simulations were used otherwise.
