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…
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…
FAST Drift Scan Survey for HI Intensity Mapping. II. Stacking-based Beam Construction of the 19-feed Array at GHz
Xinyang Zhao, Yichao Li, Wenxiu Yang +7
Neutral hydrogen (HI) intensity mapping (IM) presents great promise for future cosmological large-scale structure surveys. However, a major challenge for HIIM cosmological studies…
