We assess the performance of the multipole expansion formalism in the case of single-dish HI intensity mapping, including instrumental and foreground removal effects. This formalism is used to provide MCMC forecasts for a range of HI and cosmological parameters, including redshift space distortions and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. We first determine the range of validity of our power spectrum modelling by fitting to simulation data, concentrating on the monopole, quadrupole, and hexadecapole contributions. We then show that foreground subtraction effects can lead to severe biases in the determination of cosmological parameters, in particular the parameters relating to the transverse BAO rescaling, the growth rate and the HI bias ($α_\perp$, $\overline{T}_\text{HI} fσ_8$, and $\overline{T}_\text{HI} b_\text{HI} σ_8$, respectively). We attempt to account for these biases by constructing a 2-parameter foreground modelling prescription, and find that our prescription leads to unbiased parameter estimation at the expense of increasing the estimated uncertainties on cosmological parameters. In addition, we confirm that instrumental and foreground removal effects significantly impact the theoretical covariance matrix, and cause the covariance between different multipoles to become non-negligible. Finally, we show the effect of including higher-order multipoles in our analysis, and how these can be used to investigate the presence of instrumental and systematic effects in HI intensity mapping data.

ECLIPSE: a fast Quadratic Maximum Likelihood estimator for CMB intensity and polarization power spectra
本文提出了一种用于估计宇宙微波背景(CMB)功率谱的二次极大似然(QML)方法的优化实现ECLIPSE(Efficient CMB poLarization and Intensity Power Spectrum Estimator)。这种方法允许一个显着降低与此技术相关的计算成本,允许估计功率谱高达比以前的实现更高的多极。特别地,对于$N_\mathrm{side}=64$、$\ell_{\mathrm{max}}=192$和典型的银河掩模的分辨率,相对于该方法的有效直接实现,在包括强度和偏振的完整分析中,操作的数量可以减少大约1000倍。此外,如果只对研究偏振感兴趣,则可以在不降低结果的情况下进一步减少计算资源来获得E和B模式的功率谱。我们还表明,对于观测天空的一小部分的实验,Fisher矩阵变得奇异,在这种情况下,标准的QML不能应用。为了解决这个问题,我们已经开发了一个binned版本的方法,是无偏的,最小方差。我们还测试了QML估计的鲁棒性时,假设的基准模型不同于天空,并显示迭代方法的性能。最后,我们提出了一个比较QML和伪$C_{\ell}$估计(NaMaster)的下一代卫星所获得的结果,表明,正如预期的那样,QML在低多极产生显着较小的误差。在这项工作中开发的ECLIPSE快速QML代码将公开提供。

Antisymmetric Cross-correlation between H I and CO Line Intensity Maps as a New Probe of Cosmic Reionization
强度映射的H I 21厘米线和CO 2.61毫米线的时代的再电离已成为强大的,互补的,探测高红移宇宙。然而,这两个地图和它们的互相关是由前景占主导地位。我们提出了一种新的分析,通过这种分析,信号是无偏的前景,即它可以测量没有前景缓解。我们构造了H I 21 cm线和CO 2.61 mm线的强度图之间的两点互相关的反对称部分,这是因为两个场的统计涨落在时间上有不同的演化。我们表明,这个新信号的符号可以独立于模型区分在某个时间间隔内是否发生由内而外的再电离。更重要的是,在再电离的偏移集模型的框架内,我们证明了在大尺度下的H I-CO互功率谱的偶极的斜率是线性的,以一种独立于再电离参数的方式的全球中性氢分数的变化率,直到接近再电离结束的斜率水平,但这种趋势可能取决于再电离模型的框架。氢-一氧化碳偶极可能是探测再电离速度的冒烟枪,或是宇宙再电离的“标准速度计”。对这一新信号的观测将揭示从再电离中点到接近完成的全球再电离历史。
