Abstract

We investigate the prospects of measuring the cosmic magnification effect by cross-correlating neutral hydrogen intensity mapping (HI IM) maps with background optical galaxies. We forecast the signal-to-noise ratio for HI IM data from SKA1-MID and HIRAX, combined with LSST photometric galaxy samples. We find that, thanks to their different resolutions, SKA1-MID and HIRAX are highly complementary in such an analysis. We predict that SKA1-MID can achieve a detection with a signal-to-noise ratio of $10$ on a multipole range of $200$, while HIRAX can reach a signal-to-noise ratio of $30$ on $200 < < 2000$. We conclude that measurements of the cosmic magnification signal will be possible on a wide redshift range with foreground HI intensity maps up to $z 2$, while optimal results are obtained when $0.6 z 1.3$.
