Title: Insights from 21cm cosmology: theory, simulations, and pathfinder data analysis
Abstract
I will describe how radio instruments like MeerKAT and the SKA can kick off an exciting new era in cosmology, by using the innovative neutral hydrogen intensity mapping technique. I will also extensively comment on the importance of synergies with optical galaxy surveys like Euclid and LSST. Finally, I will introduce the GBT - eBOSS cross-correlation project, and show preliminary results from the data analysis.
