Synergies between the COMAP CO Line Intensity Mapping mission and a Ly{\alpha} galaxy survey: How to probe the early universe with voxel based analysis of observational data

Understand

Line Intensity Mapping (LIM) offers a novel avenue to observe and characterize our universe.

• LIM data of CO spectral lines are becoming available, such as those obtained by the CO Mapping Array Project (COMAP).
• COMAP data can be used to probe the molecular gas content of the universe from the last stages of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) ($z < 8.0$) to $z \sim 2.5$.
• In this work, we examine the prospects for deriving voxel-level statistical constraints on high-redshift galaxies from COMAP data by considering the additional information available from observations of LAEs galaxies using the Visible Integral-Field Replicable Unit Spectrograph (VIRUS) on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET).
