The FAST HI 21-cm Absorption Blind Survey. III. OH Absorption Search in the 21-cm Absorber Sample and Continued HI Absorption Search
Wenkai Hu, Yougang Wang, Jeremy Darling +11
We present the first blind search for OH 18-cm absorption with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), conducted alongside the HI 21-cm absorption search. Our p…
CRAFTS for HI cosmology: I. data processing pipeline and validation tests
Wenxiu Yang, Laura Wolz, Yichao Li +20
We present the calibration procedures and validation of source measurement with the data of the Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey (CRAFTS) for \HI intensity mapping by the Five…
The FAST HI 21-cm absorption blind survey. II. -- Statistic Exploration for Associated and Intervening systems
Wenkai Hu, Yougang Wang, Yichao Li +12
We present an extragalactic HI 21-cm absorption lines catalog from a blind search at z 0.35, using drift-scan data collected in 1325.6 hours by the ongoing Commensal Ra…
Searching for axion dark matter gegenschein of the Vela supernova remnant with FAST
Wenxiu Yang, Yitian Sun, Yougang Wang +7
Axions are one of the leading dark matter candidates. If we are embedded in a Milky Way dark matter halo comprised of axions, their stimulated decay would enable us to observe a co…
FAST drift scan survey for HI intensity mapping: simulation on Bayesian-stacking-based HI mass function estimation
Jiaxin Wang, Yichao Li, Hengxing Pan +7
This study investigates the estimation of the neutral hydrogen (HI) mass function (HIMF) using a Bayesian stacking approach with simulated data for the Five-hundred-meter Aperture…
