Mapping of the neutral hydrogen (HI) 21-cm intensity fluctuations across redshifts promises a novel and powerful probe of cosmology. The neutral hydrogen gas mass density, $Ω_{\rm HI}$ and bias parameter, $b_{\rm HI}$ are key astrophysical inputs to the HI intensity fluctuation power spectrum. We compile the latest theoretical and observational constraints on $Ω_{\rm HI}$ and $b_{\rm HI}$ at various redshifts in the post-reionization universe. Constraints are incorporated from galaxy surveys, HI intensity mapping experiments, damped Lyman-$α$ system observations, theoretical prescriptions for assigning HI to dark matter halos, and the results of numerical simulations. Using a minimum variance interpolation scheme, we obtain the predicted uncertainties on the HI intensity fluctuation power spectrum across redshifts 0-3.5 for three different confidence scenarios. We provide a convenient tabular form for the interpolated values of $Ω_{\rm HI}$, $b_{\rm HI}$ and the HI power spectrum amplitude and their uncertainties. We discuss the consequences for the measurement of the power spectrum by current and future intensity mapping experiments.
The bispectrum is a 3-point statistic with the potential to provide additional information beyond power spectra analyses of survey datasets. Radio telescopes which broadly survey the 21cm emission from neutral hydrogen (HI) are a promising way to probe LSS and in this work we present an investigation into the HI intensity mapping (IM) bispectrum using simulations. We present a model of the redshift space HI IM bispectrum including observational effects from the radio telescope beam and 21cm foreground contamination. We validate our modelling prescriptions with measurements from robust IM simul…
Probing primordial non-Gaussianity with the power spectrum and bispectrum of future 21cm intensity maps
在再电离之后,星系中中性氢的21厘米发射线提供了暗物质的示踪物。使用SKA和其他射电望远镜进行的下一代强度测绘调查将覆盖大范围的天空区域和广泛的红移,便于将其用作原始非高斯性的探测器。{以前的工作已经表明,双谱可以实现对原始非高斯性的严格约束,未来的调查是专门设计用于干涉仪模式下的强度映射}。在这里,我们调查的约束条件,可从单碟模式下操作的调查,\rev{using the combined power spectrum and bispectrum signal}。在功率谱的情况下,单碟调查通常优于干涉仪调查。我们发现,相反的双谱:单碟调查是没有竞争力的干涉仪模式设计的调查。

Foreground contamination in Ly-alpha intensity mapping during the epoch of reionization
在再电离时期(EoR)的Ly-alpha发射的强度映射将受到来自较低红移的前景发射线的污染。计算了Ly-alpha发射在z~7处的平均强度和功率谱,并根据相关的天体物理过程估计了不确定度。我们发现,来自6563 A H-α,5007 A [OIII]和3727 A [OII]的低红移发射线将是观测到的Ly-alpha功率谱上的强污染物。我们利用恒星形成率(SFR)和光度函数(LF)来估计H-α在z~0.5处,[OIII]在z~0.9处和[OII]在z~1.6处的三条前景线的平均强度和功率谱,因为它们会污染z~7处的Ly-alpha发射。而这一点,也是最强的。我们分析了遮蔽的前景线高于一些线强度阈值的明亮的调查像素作为一种方式,以减少污染的强度映射调查。我们发现,如果我们去除通量大于1.4 × 10 ^-20 W/m^2的像素,前景污染可以忽略不计。
