The BayesLIM Project to map the high-redshift universe
Date: Thursday, May 1st
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Place: Chamberlin 5280
Speaker: Nick Kern, MIT
Abstract: I will discuss using next-generation radio telescopes to map the high-redshift universe with unprecedented statistical precision, enabling us to tap into a trove of currently unharnessed cosmological information.

The Bayesian Line Intensity Mapping (BayesLIM) project leverages advances in machine learning software and hardware to deliver a comprehensive Bayesian forward model for cosmological intensity mapping experiments. Its goal is to enable the first robust detection of the high redshift 21 cm signal, while faithfully accounting for covariant uncertainties between the signal and contaminants.
