The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a cryogenic balloon-borne instrument that will survey galaxy and star formation history over cosmological time scales. Rather than identifying individual objects, EXCLAIM will be a pathfinder to demonstrate an intensity mapping approach, which measures the cumulative redshifted line emission. EXCLAIM will operate at 420-540 GHz with a spectral resolution R=512 to measure the integrated CO and [CII] in redshift windows spanning 0 < z < 3.5. CO and [CII] line emissions are key tracers of the gas phases in the interstellar medium involved in star-formation processes. EXCLAIM will shed light on questions such as why the star formation rate declines at z < 2, despite continued clustering of the dark matter. The instrument will employ an array of six superconducting integrated grating-analog spectrometers (micro-spec) coupled to microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs). Here we present an overview of the EXCLAIM instrument design and status.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a SAM-based mock, multi-line intensity-mapping cross-power spectra show dust acts as a line-pair- and redshift-dependent suppression, and PCA cleaning with about 20 modes best balances line recovery against cont...

  2. On Cross-Correlating Line Intensity Maps from SPHEREx during Reionization

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulations of SPHEREx line intensity maps show cross-correlations (e.g., Hα × [OIII] at z=5) can reach S/N up to 99, probing galaxies with M < 4×10^10 M⊙, though most signal comes from brighter directly detectable galaxies.
