We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (HI) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line Galaxy (ELG) samples from the eBOSS survey, and the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey sample. The HI intensity maps are Green Bank Telescope observations of the redshifted 21cm emission on 100deg2 covering the redshift range $0.6<z<1.0$. We process the data by separating and removing the foregrounds with FastICA, and construct a transfer function to correct for the effects of foreground removal on the HI signal. We cross-correlate the cleaned HI data with the galaxy samples and study the overall amplitude as well as the scale-dependence of the power spectrum. We also qualitatively compare our findings with the predictions by a semi-analytic galaxy evolution simulation. The cross-correlations constrain the quantity $Omega_{{HI}} b_{{HI}} r_{{HI},{opt}}$ at an effective scale $k_{eff}$, where $Omega_{HI}$ is the HI density fraction, $b_{HI}$ is the HI bias, and $r_{{HI},{opt}}$ the galaxy-hydrogen correlation coefficient, which is dependent on the HI content of the optical galaxy sample. At $k_{eff}=0.31 , h/{Mpc}$ we find $Omega_{{HI}} b_{{HI}} r_{{HI},{Wig}} = [0.58 pm 0.09 , {(stat) pm 0.05 , {(sys)}}] times 10^{-3}$ for GBT-WiggleZ, $Omega_{{HI}} b_{{HI}} r_{{HI,{ELG}}} = [0.40 pm 0.09 , {(stat) pm 0.04 , {(sys)}}] times 10^{-3}$ for GBT-ELG, and $Omega_{{HI}} b_{{HI}} r_{{HI},{LRG}} = [0.35 pm 0.08 , {(stat) pm 0.03 , {(sys)}}] times 10^{-3}$ for GBT-LRG, at $zsimeq 0.8$. We also report results at $k_{eff}=0.24 , h/{Mpc}$ and $k_{eff}=0.48 , h/{Mpc}$. With little information on HI parameters beyond our local Universe, these are amongst the most precise constraints on neutral hydrogen density fluctuations in an underexplored redshift range.

The cross-correlation of a foreground density field with two different background convergence fields can be used to measure cosmographic distance ratios and constrain dark energy parameters. We investigate the possibility of performing such measureme
nts using a combination of optical galaxy surveys and HI intensity mapping surveys, with emphasis on the performance of the planned Square Kilometre Array (SKA). Using HI intensity mapping to probe the foreground density tracer field and/or the background source fields has the advantage of excellent redshift resolution and a longer lever arm achieved by using the lensing signal from high redshift background sources. Our results show that, for our best SKA-optical configuration of surveys, a constant equation of state for dark energy can be constrained to $simeq 8%$ for a sky coverage $f_{rm sky}=0.5$ and assuming a $sigma(Omega_{rm DE})=0.03$ prior for the dark energy density parameter. We also show that using the CMB as the second source plane is not competitive, even when considering a COrE-like satellite.
We present the temperature power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background obtained by cross-correlating maps from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) at 148 and 218 GHz with maps from the Planck satellite at 143 and 217 GHz, in two overlapping r
egions covering 592 square degrees. We find excellent agreement between the two datasets at both frequencies, quantified using the variance of the residuals between the ACT power spectra and the ACTxPlanck cross-spectra. We use these cross-correlations to calibrate the ACT data at 148 and 218 GHz, to 0.7% and 2% precision respectively. We find no evidence for anisotropy in the calibration parameter. We compare the Planck 353 GHz power spectrum with the measured amplitudes of dust and cosmic infrared background (CIB) of ACT data at 148 and 218 GHz. We also compare planet and point source measurements from the two experiments.
This paper introduces the data cubes from GHIGLS, deep Green Bank Telescope surveys of the 21-cm line emission of HI in 37 targeted fields at intermediate Galactic latitude. The GHIGLS fields together cover over 1000 square degrees at 9.55 spatial re
solution. The HI spectra have an effective velocity resolution about 1.0 km/s and cover at least -450 < v < +250 km/s. GHIGLS highlights that even at intermediate Galactic latitude the interstellar medium is very complex. Spatial structure of the HI is quantified through power spectra of maps of the column density, NHI. For our featured representative field, centered on the North Ecliptic Pole, the scaling exponents in power-law representations of the power spectra of NHI maps for low, intermediate, and high velocity gas components (LVC, IVC, and HVC) are -2.86 +/- 0.04, -2.69 +/- 0.04, and -2.59 +/- 0.07, respectively. After Gaussian decomposition of the line profiles, NHI maps were also made corresponding to the narrow-line and broad-line components in the LVC range; for the narrow-line map the exponent is -1.9 +/- 0.1, reflecting more small scale structure in the cold neutral medium (CNM). There is evidence that filamentary structure in the HI CNM is oriented parallel to the Galactic magnetic field. The power spectrum analysis also offers insight into the various contributions to uncertainty in the data. The effect of 21-cm line opacity on the GHIGLS NHI maps is estimated.
Neutral Hydrogen (HI) provides a very important fuel for star formation, but is difficult to detect at high redshift due to weak emission, limited sensitivity of modern instruments, and terrestrial radio frequency interference (RFI) at low frequencie
s. We the first attempt to use gravitational lensing to detect HI line emission from three gravitationally lensed galaxies behind the cluster Abell 773, two at redshift of 0.398 and one at z=0.487, using the Green Bank Telescope. We find a 3 sigma upper limit for a galaxy with a rotation velocity of 200 km/s is M_HI=6.58x10^9 and 1.5x10^10 M_solar at z=0.398 and z=0.487. The estimated HI masses of the sources at z=0.398 and z=0.487 are a factor of 3.7 and ~30 times lower than our detection limits at the respective redshifts. To facilitate these observations we have used sigma clipping to remove both narrow- and wide-band RFI but retain the signal from the source. We are able to reduce the noise of the spectrum by ~25% using our routine instead of discarding observations with too much RFI. The routine is most effective when ~10 of the integrations or fewer contains RFI. These techniques can be used to study HI in highly magnified distant galaxies that are otherwise too faint to detect.
