Detectability of CMB Weak Lensing and HI Cross Correlation and constraints on cosmological parameters
Abstract
Neutral hydrogen (H) intensity mapping is capable of measuring redshift evolution of H density parameter , which is an important parameter to understand structure formation in the post-reionization epoch. Future H observation with Square Kilometre Array (SKA) can significantly improve constraints on the parameter. However, the observation of H suffers from the contamination from extremely bright foreground emissions, and it is necessary to consider a signal validation method complementary to the measurement of H auto power spectrum. In this work, we propose to take a cross correlation between a 21cm-line intensity map and a convergence map reconstructed from observation of the cosmic microwave background by Planck and estimate expected ideal constraints on cosmological parametersby ignoring the foreground contamination. We find that the SKA1-mid operated in single-dish mode has a sufficient capability to detect the cross correlation on the large scales. Further, by Fisher analysis assuming a constant linear bias of H, , and SKA1-mid observation of 1,000 hours for each of Band 1 and 2, we show that can be constrained with a precision of at a wide range of redshifts of , if we fix other cosmological parameters (density parameter of cold dark matter, , spectral index of primordial fluctuations, , and Hubble constant, ) using values from the Planck observations. On the other hand, small-scale measurements with interferometer mode of SKA1-mid will not have a significant impact on constraining the parameters with 1,000 hours of observation time for each of Band 1 and 2, due to the limited resolution of the CMB lensing of Planck.
