Sub-millimeter emission lines produced by the interstellar medium (ISM) are strong tracers of star formation and are some of the main targets of line intensity mapping (LIM) surveys. In this work we present an empirical multi-line emission…

[abridged] Modern (sub-)millimeter/radio interferometers will enable us to measure the dust and molecular gas emission from galaxies that have luminosities lower than the Milky Way, out to high redshifts and with unprecedented spatial…

We predict the three-dimensional intensity power spectrum (PS) of the [CII] 158$\,\mu$m line throughout the epoch of (and post) reionization at redshifts from $\approx$ 3.5 to 8. We study the detectability of the PS in a line intensity…
