Description

Line intensity mapping (LIM) is a rapidly developing new technique to study astrophysics and cosmology. With LIM, the luminosity density of a given atomic/molecular emission line is mapped in a three-dimensional volume. I will discuss how this technique can be used to determine the distribution of dark matter and to also probe specific dark-matter candidates. I will also describe how the measurements may complement other measurements that probe the expansion history, dark energy, and the Hubble tension.
