The HI mass function (HIMF) for galaxies in the local universe is constructed from the results of the Arecibo HI Strip Survey, a blind extragalactic survey in the 21cm line. The survey consists of two strips covering in total 65 square…

We study the faint end of the HI mass function (HIMF) in order to test the predictions of the CDM theory on the number density of objects with small (dark) masses. The neutral hydrogen is much better tracer of the underlying mass…

We use the catalogue of 4315 extragalactic HI 21-cm emission line detections from HIPASS to calculate the most accurate measurement of the HI mass function (HIMF) of galaxies to date. The completeness of the HIPASS sample is well…

The neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) mass function (HIMF) describes the distribution of the HI content of galaxies at any epoch; its evolution provides an important probe of models of galaxy formation and evolution. Here, we report Giant…

We look at the contribution of different galaxy populations to the atomic hydrogen (HI) mass function (HIMF) and the HI density parameter, $\Omega_{\text{HI}}$, in the local Universe. Our analysis is based on a sample of 7857 HI-selected…

We exploit a large, complete optical diameter and HI flux limited sample of spiral galaxies with types later than S0a to derive a robust measurement of the HI mass function (HIMF) for masses log(M_HI/M_Sun) > 7.4 which takes into account…

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…
