Wednesday, September 13, 2017, 2:30 pm — Large Conference Room, Bldg. 535
HI intensity mapping is emerging as a new and promising cosmological probe for both the large-scale structure and the early Universe. In preparation for the many large radio projects that are coming online, we launched the Bleien Galactic Survey project as an exercise to test new (and fun) techniques that could develop into useful tools in future surveys. I will first introduce the background science and basic setup of the experiment, and then touch upon two particularly interesting ideas — calibrating the telescope beam using drones, and RFI mitigation with state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms.
Dr. Chang will also give a particle physics seminar entitled "Mapping the Cosmos with the Dark Energy Survey" on Sept. 14 at 3:00 p.m. in the Bldg. 510 Small Seminar Room.
