21cm Intensity Mapping: Progress and Challenges
Richard Shaw
CITA
21cm intensity mapping is a promising probe of cosmic structure at
redshift z ~ 1-2, with one of the key science goals to provide good
constraints on the BAO scale in this window. This technique is not
without its difficulties, foremost being contamination from astrophysical
foregrounds. I will introduce this field, discuss our recent work
attempting to address its challenges, and briefly describe progress of
the Green Bank Telescope collaboration.
