If foregrounds and systematic effects can be controlled - a problem which becomes much easier in cross-correlation - these surveys will provide exquisite measurements of the HI density and bias, as well as measurements of the growth of structure, the angular diameter distance, and the Hubble rate, over a wide range of redshift. We also investigate the possibility of detecting the late time ISW effect using the Planck satellite and forthcoming intensity mapping surveys, finding that a large sky survey with Phase 1 of the SKA can achieve a near optimal detection.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-13T17:57:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cmb surveys", "cosmological constraints", "late time isw effect", "angular diameter distance", "near-term intensity mapping surveys" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
