We present a comprehensive model to predict the rate of spectroscopic confusion in HI surveys, and demonstrate good agreement with the observable confusion in existing surveys. Generically the action of confusion on the HI mass function was found to be a suppression of the number count of sources below the `knee', and an enhancement above it. This results in a bias, whereby the `knee' mass is increased and the faint end slope is steepened. For ALFALFA and HIPASS we find that the maximum impact this bias can have on the Schechter fit parameters is similar in magnitude to the published random errors. On the other hand, the impact of confusion on the HI mass functions of upcoming medium depth interferometric surveys, will be below the level of the random errors. In addition, we find that previous estimates of the number of detections for upcoming surveys with SKA-precursor telescopes may have been too optimistic, as the framework implemented here results in number counts between 60% and 75% of those previously predicted, while accurately reproducing the counts of existing surveys. Finally, we argue that any future single dish, wide area surveys of HI galaxies would be best suited to focus on deep observations of the local Universe (z < 0.05), as confusion may prevent them from being competitive with interferometric surveys at higher redshift, while their lower angular resolution allows their completeness to be more easily calibrated for nearby extended sources.

Extragalactic background Light: a measurement at 400 nm using dark cloud shadow II. Spectroscopic separation of dark cloud's light, and results
在一个旨在测量河外背景光(EBL)的项目中,我们使用了暗云的阴影。我们用ESO VLT/FORS对高银纬暗云Lynds 1642的表面亮度进行了分光光度测量。论文I中给出了一个光谱,代表了云的不透明核心和云周围几个未被遮挡的位置之间的差异(Mattila等人,2017 a)。本论文的主题是分离的散射星光从乌云本身,这是唯一剩下的前景成分,在这种差异。虽然散射星光光谱具有典型的Fraunhofer线和在400 nm处的不连续性,这是典型的星系积分光,但EBL光谱是平滑的,没有这些特征。作为散射星光的模板,我们利用两个半透明位置的光谱。在400 nm处得到的EBL强度为$I_{\rm EBL} = 2.9\pm1.1$ $10^{-9}$ erg cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$ sr $^{-1}$,或$11.6\pm4.4$ nW m $^{-2}$ sr $^{-1}$,表示2.6 $σ$检测;定标不确定性为+20%/-16%。在520 nm处,我们将2 $σ$上限设定为$I_{\rm EBL} \le$ 4.5 $10^{-9}$ erg cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$ sr $^{-1}$ sr $^{-1}$或$\le$ 23.4 nW m $^{-2}$ sr $^{-1}$ +20%/-16%。我们在400 nm处的EBL值是星系积分光的$\ge 2$…

我们提出了一个深(1 $σ$ =13 $μ$ Jy)宇宙学1.2毫米连续谱图的基础上ASPECS,ALMA光谱调查在哈勃超深场的分析。在1弧分$^2$所涵盖的ASPECS,我们检测到9个源在$>3.5σ$的意义在1.2毫米。我们的ALMA-选择的样本有一个中位数红移$z=1.6\pm0.4$,只有一个星系检测到z $>$ 2内的调查区域。该值明显低于在较高通量密度截止和类似频率下选择的毫米样品中发现的值。大多数星系的恒星形成率与主序星相同,我们分别得到了恒星质量和恒星形成率的中值为$4.0\times10^{10}\ M_\odot$和$\sim40~M_\odot$ yr $^{-1}$。使用的尘埃排放作为示踪剂的ISM质量,我们推导出的耗尽时间,通常长于300万年,我们发现分子气体分数范围从$\sim$ 0.1到1.0。正如以前的研究所指出的,这些值比使用基于CO的ISM估计值低一个因子$\sim$ 2。1 mm的计数(校正保真度和完整性)与以前的研究,通常限于较亮的来源是一致的。我们的个人检测,我们恢复$55\pm4\%$的河外背景光(EBL)在1.2毫米测量的普朗克卫星,我们恢复$80\pm7\%$的EBL,如果我们包括明亮端的数量计数和额外的检测叠加。堆积的贡献主要是星系在$z\sim1-2$,与恒星质量(1-3)$\times$ 10 $^{10}$ M $_\odot…
