    Abstract: Context. The measurement of diffuse 21-cm radiation from the hyperfine transition of neutral hydrogen (H  I signal) in different redshifts is an important tool for modern cosmology. However, detecting this faint signal with non-cryogenic receivers in single-dish telescopes is a challenging task. The BINGO (Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations) radio telescope is an instrument designed to detect baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAOs) in the cosmological H  I signal, in the redshift interval 0.127 ≤  z  ≤ 0.449. Aims. This paper describes the BINGO radio telescope, including the current status of the optics, receiver, observational strategy, calibration, and the site. Methods. BINGO has been carefully designed to minimize systematics, being a transit instrument with no moving dishes and 28 horns operating in the frequency range 980 ≤  ν  ≤ 1260 MHz. Comprehensive laboratory tests were conducted for many of the BINGO subsystems and the prototypes of the receiver chain, horn, polarizer, magic tees, and transitions have been successfully tested between 2018–2020. The survey was designed to cover ∼13% of the sky, with the primary mirror pointing at declination δ  = −15°. The telescope will see an instantaneous declination strip of 14.75°. Results. The results of the prototype tests closely meet those obtained during the modeling process, suggesting BINGO will perform according to our expectations. After one year of observations with a 60% duty cycle and 28 horns, BINGO should achieve an expected sensitivity of 102 μK per 9.33 MHz frequency channel, one polarization, and be able to measure the H  I power spectrum in a competitive time frame.

    Abstract: Context. BINGO (Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations) is a radio telescope designed to survey from 980 MHz to 1260 MHz, observe the neutral hydrogen (H  I ) 21 cm line, and detect the baryon acoustic oscillation signal with the intensity mapping technique. Here we present our method for generating mock maps of the 21 cm intensity mapping signal that cover the BINGO frequency range and related test results. Aims. We would like to employ N -body simulations to generate mock 21 cm intensity maps for BINGO and study the information contained in 21 cm intensity mapping observations about structure formation, H  I distribution and H  I mass-halo mass relation. Methods. We fit an H  I mass-halo mass relation from the ELUCID semianalytical galaxy catalog and applied it to the Horizen Run 4 halo catalog to generate the 21 cm mock map, which is called HOD. We also applied the abundance-matching method and matched the Horizen Run 4 galaxy catalog with the H  I mass function measured from ALFALFA, to generate the 21 cm mock map, which is called HAM. Results. We studied the angular power spectrum of the mock maps and the corresponding pixel histogram. The comparison of two different mock map generation methods (HOD and HAM) is presented. We provide the fitting formula of Ω Hi , H  I bias, and the lognormal fitting parameter of the maps, which can be used to generate similar maps. We discuss the possibility of measuring Ω Hi and H  I bias by comparing the angular power spectrum of the mock maps and the theoretical calculation. We also discuss the redshift space distortion effect, the nonlinear effect, and the bin size effect in the mock map. Conclusions. By comparing the angular power spectrum measured from two different types of mock maps and the theoretical calculation, we find that the theoretical calculation can only fit the mock result at large scales. At small scales, neither the linear calculation nor the halofit nonlinear calculation can provide an accurate fitting, which reflects our poor understanding of the nonlinear distribution of H  I and its scale-dependent bias. We have found that the bias is highly sensitive to the method of populating H  I in halos, which also means that we can place constraints on the H  I distribution in halos by observing 21 cm intensity mapping. We also illustrate that only with thin frequency bins (such as 2 MHz), we can discriminate the Finger-of-God effect. All of our investigations using mocks provide useful guidance for our expectation of BINGO experiments and other 21 cm intensity mapping experiments.

    Abstract: Context. Observations of the redshifted 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen (H  I ) are a new and powerful window of observation that offers us the possibility to map the spatial distribution of cosmic H  I and learn about cosmology. Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Integrated Neutral Gas Observations (BINGO) is a new unique radio telescope designed to be one of the first to probe baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) at radio frequencies. Aims. BINGO has two science goals: cosmology and astrophysics. Cosmology is the main science goal and the driver for BINGO’s design and strategy. The key of BINGO is to detect the low redshift BAO to put strong constraints on the dark sector models and test the ΛCDM (cold dark matter) model. Given the versatility of the BINGO telescope, a secondary goal is astrophysics, where BINGO can help discover and study fast radio bursts (FRB) and other transients, as well as study Galactic and extragalactic science. In this paper, we introduce the latest progress of the BINGO project, its science goals, describing the scientific potential of the project for each goal and the new developments obtained by the collaboration. Methods. BINGO is a single dish transit telescope that will measure the BAO at low- z by making a 3D map of the H  I distribution through the technique of intensity mapping over a large area of the sky. In order to achieve the project’s goals, a science strategy and a specific pipeline for cleaning and analyzing the produced maps and mock maps was developed by the BINGO team, which we generally summarize here. Results. We introduce the BINGO project and its science goals and give a general summary of recent developments in construction, science potential, and pipeline development obtained by the BINGO Collaboration in the past few years. We show that BINGO will be able to obtain competitive constraints for the dark sector. It also has the potential to discover several FRBs in the southern hemisphere. The capacity of BINGO in obtaining information from 21-cm is also tested in the pipeline introduced here. Following these developments, the construction and observational strategies of BINGO have been defined. Conclusions. There is still no measurement of the BAO in radio, and studying cosmology in this new window of observations is one of the most promising advances in the field. The BINGO project is a radio telescope that has the goal to be one of the first to perform this measurement and it is currently being built in the northeast of Brazil. This paper is the first of a series of papers that describe in detail each part of the development of the BINGO project.
