Abstract

Neutral hydrogen (HI_{\rm I}) intensity mapping is capable of measuring redshift evolution of HI_{\rm I} density parameter ΩHI\Omega_{\rm H_{\rm I}}, which is an important parameter to understand structure formation in the post-reionization epoch. Future HI_{\rm I} observation with Square Kilometre Array (SKA) can significantly improve constraints on the parameter. However, the observation of HI_{\rm I} suffers from the contamination from extremely bright foreground emissions, and it is necessary to consider a signal validation method complementary to the measurement of HI_{\rm I} 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 HI_{\rm I}, bb, and SKA1-mid observation of 1,000 hours for each of Band 1 and 2, we show that ΩHIb\Omega_{\rm H_{\rm I}} b can be constrained with a precision of 613%6-13\% at a wide range of redshifts of 0.0<z<2.00.0<z<2.0, if we fix other cosmological parameters (density parameter of cold dark matter, Ωch2\Omega_{\rm c} h^{2}, spectral index of primordial fluctuations, nsn_s, and Hubble constant, H0H_0) 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.
