We analyze a sample of 3300 galaxies between redshifts z~3.5 and z~8.5 selected from JWST images in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) and UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey field, including objects with stellar masses as low as ~ 10^8 Msun up to…

We derive for the first time the dust mass function (DMF) in a wide redshift range, from z~0.2 up to z~2.5. In order to trace the dust emission, we start from a far-IR (160-um) Herschel selected catalogue in the COSMOS field. We estimate…

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…

We present the results of a set of mock experiments aimed at quantifying the accuracy of results derived from HI spectral line stacking experiments. We focus on the effects of spatial and spectral aperture sizes and redshift uncertainties…

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) has started the Commensal Radio Astronomy FasT Survey (CRAFTS). In this paper, we use the technical parameters of FAST derived from commissioning observations to simulate the…

Using the L-Galaxies semi-analytic model we simultaneously fit the HI mass function, stellar mass function and galaxy colours. We find good fits to all three observations at z = 0 and to the stellar mass function and galaxy colours at z =…
