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…

Observational Frontiers in the post-EoR 21-cm Intensity Mapping: Lessons from the SKA Pathfinders

Khandakar Md Asif Elahi, Somnath Bharadwaj, Philip Bull +21

The 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen has long been recognised as a promising tracer of the large-scale structure of the Universe. The line is weak however, making individual galaxy…

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…
