Abstract

We determine the atomic hydrogen (H I) to halo mass relation (HIHM) using Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey H I data at the location of optically selected groups from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. We make direct H I detections for 37 GAMA groups. Using H I group spectral stacking of 345 groups, we study the group H I content as function of halo mass across a halo mass range of 1011–1014.7M⊙. We also correct our results for Eddington bias. We find that the group H I mass generally rises as a function of halo mass from 1.3 % of the halo mass at 1011.6 M⊙ to 0.4 % at 1013.7 M⊙ with some indication of flattening towards the high-mass end. Despite the differences in optical survey limits, group catalogues, and halo mass estimation methods, our results are consistent with previous group H I-stacking studies. Our results are also consistent with mock observations from SHARK and IllustrisTNG.

GAMA is a joint European–Australasian project based around a spectroscopic campaign using the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The GAMA input catalogue is based on data taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. Complementary imaging of the GAMA regions is being obtained by a number of independent survey programmes including GALEX MIS, VST KiDS, VISTA VIKING, WISE, Herschel-ATLAS, GMRT, and ASKAP providing UV to radio coverage.
