Measuring the HI-halo mass scaling relation (HIHM) is fundamental to understanding the role of HI in galaxy formation and its connection to structure formation. While direct measurements of the HI mass in haloes are possible using HI-spectral stacking, the reported shape of the relation depends on the techniques used to measure it (e.g. monotonically increasing with mass versus flat, mass-independent). Using a simulated HI and optical survey produced with the SHARK semi-analytic galaxy formation model, we investigate how well different observational techniques can recover the intrinsic, theoretically predicted, HIHM relation. We run a galaxy group finder and mimic the HI stacking procedure adopted by different surveys and find we can reproduce their observationally derived HIHM relation. However, none of the adopted techniques recover the underlying HIHM relation predicted by the simulation. We find that systematic effects in halo mass estimates of galaxy groups modify the inferred shape of the HIHM relation from the intrinsic one in the simulation, while contamination by interloping galaxies, not associated with the groups, contribute to the inferred HI mass of a halo mass bin, when using large velocity windows for stacking. The effect of contamination is maximal at Mvir~10^(12-12.5)Msol. Stacking methods based on summing the HI emission spectra to infer the mean HI mass of galaxies of different properties belonging to a group suffer minimal contamination but are strongly limited by the use of optical counterparts, which miss the contribution of dwarf galaxies. Deep spectroscopic surveys will provide significant improvements by going deeper while maintaining high spectroscopic completeness; for example, the WAVES survey will recover ~52% of the total HI mass of the groups with Mvir~10^(14)Msol compared to ~21% in GAMA.

我们对以$z\geq4$光学识别的高红移类星体为中心的20厘米射电天空空场微弱图像(FIRST)巡天图进行了图像叠加,以揭示这些活动星系核(AGN)中隐藏的$μ$ Jy射电辐射。$2229$光学鉴定活动星系核全样本的中值叠加程序揭示了一个积分通量密度为52 $~μ$ Jy的未分辨点源,信噪比为$\sim10$。我们共同添加的个人图像中心像素,以估计在$1.4~$ GHz的特征单色无线电功率考虑各种值的无线电频谱指数,揭示了无线电人口与$P_\mathrm{1.4GHz}\sim10^{24}~$ W Hz $^{-1}$。假设所有的射电辐射都来自于宿主星系核区的恒星形成(SF)活动,我们得到了特征恒星形成速率的上限,即$\sim4200~$ M $_\odot~$ yr $^{-1}$。FIRST图像的角分辨率不足以区分SF和AGN在这些红移处的射电辐射起源。然而,从文献中的个别来源的属性的比较表明,一个混合的性质是可能的。未来的甚长基线射电干涉测量观测和超深平方公里阵列巡天可望具有足够的灵敏度来探测和分辨宿主星系的中心$1-10~$ kpc区域,从而区分SF和AGN相关的辐射。
