| contents | The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a drift-scan interferometer designed to map the entire northern sky every 24 hours. The all-sky coverage and sensitivity to neutral hydrogen flux at intermediate redshifts makes the instrument a resource for other exciting science in addition to cosmology for which it was originally designed. Characterizing the contents of CHIME's beam-smoothed maps will aid in planning novel use-cases for the instrument, particularly those pertaining to galaxy evolution studies. Here, we demonstrate its utility for the study of the HI content of stacked galaxy populations across environments. Focusing first on galaxy clusters, we use simulated data from the IllustrisTNG project to understand the relative contribution of objects that fall into CHIME's synthesized beam to the observed HI flux using stacking analyses at a couple of representative redshifts. We find that there is an appreciable difference in the estimated stacked flux when galaxy clusters or cluster member galaxies are used as tracers compared to stacking on a general galaxy catalog. Stacking on galaxy clusters, we report that it is possible to recover an average $M_\mathrm{HI}$ for clusters as a function of redshift and selection criteria. |
