...With SKA1 scheduled to begin full operations in 2028, there is a good window of opportunity for MeerKAT to robustly demonstrate the single-dish survey method and make a significant first detection before the SKA comes online (Santos et al. 2017)....

...The key example is SKA1-MID, the first phase of the SKA, to be set in South Africa, which will deliver competitive and transformational cosmology through a series of measurements using a large sky survey (Maartens et al. 2015; Santos et al. 2015; Jarvis et al. 2015; Abdalla et al. 2015)....

...We assumed a simple power law, MHI(M) = AMα, with α = 0.6 and A ∼ 220 both redshift independent and chosen to match the observed ΩHI at z = 0.8 (see Santos et al. 2015 for details)....

...Intensity mapping transfers the problem to one of foreground cleaning: how to develop cleaning methods to remove everything that is not the HI signal at a given frequency, which also impacts on the calibration requirements of the instrument (see Santos et al. 2015)....

...The noise properties of an intensity mapping survey like MeerKLASS have been described in detail in Santos et al. (2015); Pourtsidou et al. (2016b)....
