Observations with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) have been used to measure the 21 cm intensity mapping auto power spectrum, at $z\sim 1$, over a frequency range from 608.2 MHz to 707.8 MHz at wavenumbers…

21 cm intensity mapping (IM) has the potential to be a strong and unique probe of cosmology from redshift of order unity to redshift potentially as high as 30. For post-reionization 21 cm observations, the signal is modulated by the thermal…

While most purpose-built 21cm intensity mapping experiments are close-packed interferometer arrays, general-purpose dish arrays should also be capable of measuring the cosmological 21cm signal. This can be achieved most efficiently if the…

It is shown that 21 cm intensity mapping could be used in the near term to make cosmologically useful measurements. Large scale structure could be detected using existing radio telescopes, or using prototypes for dedicated redshift survey…
