We estimate the HI mass function (HIMF) of galaxies in groups based on thousands of ALFALFA (Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey) HI detections within the galaxy groups of four widely used SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) groups catalogues.…

We measure the HI mass function (HIMF) and velocity width function (WF) across environments over a range of masses $7.2<\log(M_{HI}/M_{\odot})<10.8$, and profile widths $1.3\log(km/s)<\log(W)<2.9\log(km/s)$, using a catalog of ~7,300…

We report a multi-objective campaign of targeted 21 cm HI line observations of sources selected from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (Arecibo L-band Feed Array) survey (ALFALFA) and galaxies identified by their morphological and photometric…

The number density of extragalactic 21-cm radio sources as a function of their spectral line-widths -- the HI width function (HIWF) -- is a sensitive tracer of the dark matter halo mass function (HMF). The $\Lambda$ cold dark matter model…

[Abridged] We present the rest-frame Js-band and Ks-band luminosity function of a sample of about 300 galaxies selected in the HDF-S at Ks<23 (Vega). We use calibrated photometric redshift together with spectroscopic redshift for 25% of the…

We analyze the distribution of galaxy HI masses detected in a large, deep HI survey conducted at the Arecibo observatory, and we find possible evidence of a faint-end steepening of the mass function similar to what has been found optically.…

In order to estimate the contribution of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies to the local (z<0.1) galaxy number density, we performed an optical search for LSB candidates in a 15.5 deg^2 part of the region covered by the 65 deg^2 blind…

The Arecibo Ultra Deep Survey (AUDS) is a blind HI survey aimed at detecting galaxies beyond the local Universe in the 21-cm emission line of neutral hydrogen (HI). The Arecibo $L$-band Feed Array (ALFA) was used to image an area of…
