Advances in Cosmological HI Intensity Mapping with MeerKAT, an SKA Precursor

This conference talk explores advances in Cosmological HI Intensity Mapping using the MeerKAT telescope, an SKA Precursor, presented by Sourabh Paul at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Discover cutting-edge research in radio cosmology as part of the "Radio Cosmology and Continuum Observations in the SKA Era: A Synergic View" program. The presentation contributes to the broader two-week event bringing together international experts in radio cosmology and continuum science in preparation for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope, which will begin operations in 2027. Learn about the latest observation techniques, modeling approaches, and inference tools being developed for radio cosmology, with a specific focus on hydrogen intensity mapping applications using MeerKAT data. This talk is part of a comprehensive program that includes lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and collaborative discussions aimed at addressing common challenges in radio astronomy and training the next generation of researchers in this field.
