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…
A Designer's Guide to Lunar Far-Side Interferometer Array: Power Spectrum Measurement and Cosmological Constraints from the Dark Ages
Yuewei Wen, Bin Yue, Yidong Xu +4
The 21-cm emission line from neutral hydrogen during the cosmic Dark Ages can be a powerful probe of cosmological models and early universe physics. This work provides a quantitati…
The Operation Control System for the Tianlai Experiment
Jixia Li, Fengquan Wu, Shijie Sun +2
The Tianlai 21cm intensity mapping experiment is located at the Hongliuxia Observing Station, which is a remote site with excellent electromagnetic environment. To facilitate the o…
Measuring Tianlai's primary beam using sky model
Yunbo Geng, Furen Deng, Jixia Li +6
We present the beam pattern measurement of the Tianlai Cylinder Pathfinder Array. As it is a pure drift-scan instrument, we exploit the North-South motion of the Sun to demonstrate…
The Tianlai-WIYN North Celestial Cap Redshift Survey
Reza Ansari, Gabriela A. Marques, John P. Marriner +13
We present the results of a small, low redshift spectroscopic survey of galaxies within 3 degrees of the North Celestial Pole (NCP) selected using V-band photometry obtained from t…
Synthesis imaging with a lunar orbit array: I. global sky map and its systematics
Furen Deng, Yidong Xu, Fengquan Wu +3
Ground-based radio astronomical observation at frequencies below 30 MHz is hampered by the Ionosphere and radio frequency interference (RFI). The Discovering Sky at the Longest wav…
