Measuring the H I mass function below the detection threshold

We present a Bayesian stacking technique to directly measure the H i mass function (HIMF) and its evolution with redshift using galaxies formally below the nominal detection threshold. We generate galaxy samples over several sky areas given an assumed HIMF described by a Schechter function and simul...
