Constraining the CO intensity mapping power spectrum at intermediate
  redshifts
  We compile available constraints on the carbon monoxide (CO) 1-0 luminosity
functions and abundances at redshifts 0-3. This is used to develop a data
driven halo model for the evolution of the CO galaxy abundances and clustering
across intermediate redshifts. It is found that the recent constraints from the
CO Power Spectrum Survey ($z \sim 3$; Keating et al. 2016), when combined with
existing observations of local galaxies ($z \sim 0$; Keres et al. 2003), lead
to predictions which are consistent with the results of smaller surveys at
intermediate redshifts ($z \sim 1-2$). We provide convenient fitting forms for
the evolution of the CO luminosity - halo mass relation, and estimates of the
mean and uncertainties in the CO power spectrum in the context of future
intensity mapping experiments.
