Cosmic magnification with galaxy density and HI intensity maps

Project Description:

In this project, we propose using neutral hydrogen (HI) and galaxy surveys as bias tracers of the large-scale structure of the universe to probe the cosmic magnification effect. Here, we will primarily consider HI measurements from the upcoming HIRAX experiment and galaxy measurements from the Rubin-LSST telescope.
