Cosmology with Tully-Fisher HI Galaxy Surveys
Abstract
The SKA Observatory will enable measurements of the Tully-Fisher relation for statistical samples of HI selected galaxies out to unprecedented depths and redshifts thanks to its unique combined spatial and spectral sensitivity. This chapter explores the transformative potential of such surveys for cosmology, in particular in the field of peculiar velocity measurements. We briefly review the present observational landscape for Tully-Fisher HI galaxy surveys and existing peculiar velocity datasets, and compare them with predictions for SKAO Tully-Fisher HI galaxy surveys with AA* and AA4 configurations of the SKA-Mid array. We discuss the extended range of cosmology science cases covered and enabled by such surveys.
