Neutral atomic hydrogen (H i) reservoirs typically extend far beyond the inner star-forming regions of galaxies, and global H i measurements, which mix these distinct environments, limit our understanding of the gas-star formation cycle. In particular, global H i depletion times combine gas and star formation from different physical scales, contributing to long measured time-scales (5-9 Gyr) and large scatter compared to molecular gas. Using 841 gas-rich galaxies from the WALLABY (Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY) pilot observations, we investigate how H i depletion time and its scaling relations change when H i and star formation are both confined to the stellar disc (R-25, the isophotal radius at 25 mag arcsec(-2) in i band). We find that depletion times within this region are on average 1.4 Gyr shorter than global values, though some remain very long, indicating that a substantial fraction of H i remains inactive for star formation. H i depletion times anticorrelate strongly with stellar surface density, and this trend becomes even tighter within the stellar disc. The KS relation further reveals an almost constant H i depletion time at fixed stellar surface density, similar to the behaviour seen for molecular gas, suggesting that H i and star formation are regulated by conditions that enable H i-to-H-2 conversion, traced by stellar surface density. Beyond the stellar disc, H i depletion times are on average almost 10 Gyr longer than within R-25, confirming extremely inefficient star formation in low-density outer regions. These results highlight the critical role of spatial location and local conditions for H i to serve as a fuel for star formation.
The data storage requirements for deep spectral line observations with next-generation radio interferometers like the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) are challenging. The default strategy is to reduce data after each daily observation and stack the resulting images. Although computationally efficient, this approach risks propagating systematic errors (e.g. RFI, continuum and deconvolution residuals) and degrades data quality. Imaging the entire deep dataset jointly, the traditional approach, is prohibitively expensive in storage and compute. We present an alternative uv-grid stacking method and compare its outcomes with both the traditional approach, our benchmark, and the default image-stacking method, using 200 h of the Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO) pilot and main survey data. Our method pauses the standard imaging pipeline after forming the daily residual visibility grids, which are then stacked and jointly deconvolved to combine many epochs of data. Relative to the traditional method, image-stacking recovers a median of 0.92_-0.02^+0.05 of the reference flux across our source sample, and uv-grid stacking recovers 0.99_-0.04^+0.01. For the brightest source, both methods show a similar, negligible flux offset of ∼3 per cent from the traditional flux. velocity widths (W_50, W_20) are recovered to within a few per cent by both methods, with image-stacking showing somewhat larger deviations and scatter. Image-stacking further introduces non-physical artefacts, such as negative bowls around strong sources, indicating poor deconvolution and loss of physical information. Based on these findings, we intend to apply uv-grid stacking to the DINGO survey on ASKAP.
Diffuse radio emission provides a powerful probe of non-thermal processes in the large-scale structure, yet its properties in galaxy groups remain poorly constrained. Using deep 943 MHz radio continuum data from the Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) and 1.37 GHz data from the Deep Investigations of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO) survey, we investigate diffuse radio emission in 400 galaxy groups selected from the GAMA survey at z < 0.1. We employ a multi-resolution filtering technique to suppress compact radio sources and enhance extended, low-surface-brightness emission associated with the intra group medium. Integrated flux densities are measured within group radii, and background fluctuations are quantified using random control regions. While most systems yield non-detections, we identify 46/400 galaxy groups with candidate diffuse emission, spanning radio powers of 10^19-10^24 W Hz^-1. Stacked measurements reveal a weak positive trend between radio power and halo mass. The observed emission levels lie above simple extrapolations of cluster scaling relations, suggesting that different physical processes dominate in the group regime. Additionally, stellar mass ratios of the most massive galaxies in the group and Early Type Galaxy fractions suggest that these galaxy groups are relatively young, evolving systems where galaxy interactions and mergers may power the emission. Comparisons with Magneto Hydrodynamical simulations indicate shock acceleration alone cannot explain the observed emission, pointing to an important role for fossil plasma re-acceleration and group-scale dynamical activity. These results demonstrate diffuse radio emission is present in a non-negligible fraction of galaxy groups, providing new constraints on non-thermal processes in low-mass environments.
We investigate the relation between neutral atomic hydrogen (Hi) and dark matter halo mass (HIHM) using observations from the Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO) pilot survey 100 h data, combined with spectroscopic data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey and photometric data from the Wide Area VISTA Extragalactic Survey (WAVES) photometric catalogue. We employ a combination of direct detections and spectral stacking to probe the Hi content of haloes across a wide mass range ( 10(10 . 5) less than or similar to M-h/M-(R) less than or similar to 10(14 . 5 )). By incorporating WAVES photometric members on top of the existing GAMA group catalogue, we present a novel approach of extending stacking analyses beyond spectroscopic completeness limits, enabling recovery of satellite Hi content otherwise missed. We find that the HIHM relation exhibits a double power-law form, with a turnover near Mh similar to 1011.2 M (R). Central galaxies dominate the halo Hi budget below M-h similar to 6 x 10(12 )M ((R)), while satellites dominate at higher halo masses. Including photometric members increases the measured Hi content in haloes above 10(13) M ((R)) by a factor of 1.5-3, highlighting the importance of gas-rich satellites in the group and cluster regime. Comparison with previous group-stacking studies shows that low-surface brightness galaxies and intra-group Hi structures contribute only a minor fraction to the total H i mass in group and cluster haloes, as the summed galaxy Hi masses are consistent with the total halo H i content.
We investigate the relation between neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) and dark matter halo mass (HIHM) using observations from the Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO) pilot survey 100h data, combined with spectroscopic data from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey and photometric data from the Wide Area VISTA Extragalactic Survey (WAVES) photometric catalog. We employ a combination of direct detections and spectral stacking to probe the HI content of halos across a wide mass range (10^10.5≲ M_h/M_⊙≲ 10^14.5). By incorporating WAVES photometric members on top of the existing GAMA group catalog, we present a novel approach of extending stacking analyses beyond spectroscopic completeness limits, enabling recovery of satellite HI content otherwise missed. We find that the HIHM relation exhibits a double power-law form, with a turnover near M_h∼ 10^11.2 M_⊙. Central galaxies dominate the halo HI budget below M_h∼ 6 × 10^12 M_⊙, while satellites dominate at higher halo masses. Including photometric members increases the measured HI content in halos above 10^13 M_⊙ by a factor of 1.5-3, highlighting the importance of gas-rich satellites in the group and cluster regime. Comparison with previous group-stacking studies shows that low-surface brightness galaxies, and intra-group HI structures contribute only a minor fraction to the total HI mass in group and cluster halos, as the summed galaxy HI masses are consistent with the total halo HI content.
The scatter in global atomic hydrogen (H i ) scaling relations is partly attributed to differences in how H i and stellar properties are measured, with H i reservoirs typically extending beyond the inner regions of galaxies where star formation occurs. Using pilot observations from the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind Survey (WALLABY), we present the first measurements of H i mass enclosed within the stellar-dominated regions of galaxies for a statistical sample of 995 local gas-rich systems, investigating the factors driving its variation. We examine how global H i scaling relations change when measurements are restricted to $R_{\text{25}}$ and $R_{\text{24}}$ – the isophotal radii at 25 and 24 mag arcsec $^{-2}$ in the i -band – and explore how the fraction of H i mass and H i surface density within these radii correlate with other galaxy properties. On average, 68% of the total H i mass is enclosed within $R_{\text{25}}$ and 54% within $R_{\text{24}}$ , though significant variation exists between galaxies, ranging from $\sim$ 20% to 100%. The fraction of H i mass within $R_{\text{25}}$ shows a mild correlation with stellar properties, with galaxies of higher stellar mass, greater stellar surface density, or redder colours enclosing a larger fraction of their H i reservoirs. These correlations do not significantly strengthen when considering $R_{\text{24}}$ . Conversely, global H i surface densities show no significant correlation with stellar mass or stellar surface density, but trends start emerging when these are measured within the inner regions of galaxies. The strongest correlation is observed with optical colour, with bluer galaxies having higher average H i surface densities within $R_{\text{25}}$ . This trend of the average H i surface density with optical colour strengthens when we restrict from $R_{\text{25}}$ to $R_{\text{24}}$ , suggesting a closer connection between inner H i reservoirs and star formation. This study underscores the value of (at least marginally) resolved H i surveys of statistical samples for advancing our understanding of the gas-star formation cycle in galaxies.
Galaxy interactions can significantly affect the star formation in galaxies, but it remains a challenge to achieve a consensus on the star formation rate (SFR) enhancement in galaxy pairs. Here, we investigate the SFR enhancement of gas-rich galaxy pairs detected by the Widefield ASKAP L -band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY. We construct a sample of 278 paired galaxies spanning a stellar mass ( M * ) range from 10 7.6 to 10 11.2 M ⊙ . We obtain individual masses of atomic hydrogen (H i ) for these paired galaxies using a novel deblending algorithm for H i data cubes. Quantifying the interaction stages and strengths with parameters motivated by first-principles analysis, we find that, at fixed stellar and H i mass, the alteration in the SFR of galaxy pairs starts when their dark matter halos are encountered. For galaxies with a stellar mass lower than 10 9 M ⊙ , their SFRs show tentative suppression of 1.4 σ after the halo encounter, and then become enhanced when their H i disks overlap, regardless of mass ratios. In contrast, the SFRs of galaxies with M * > 10 9 M ⊙ increase monotonically toward smaller projected distances and radial velocity offsets. When a close companion is present, a pronounced SFR enhancement is found for the most H i -poor high-mass galaxies in our sample. Collecting the observational evidence, we provide a coherent picture of the evolution of galaxy pairs and discuss how the tidal effects and hydrodynamic processes shape the SFR enhancement. Our results provide a coherent picture of gas-rich galaxy interactions and impose constraints on the underlying physical processes.
Galaxy morphology in stellar light can be described by a series of 'non-parametric' or 'morphometric' parameters, such as concentration-asymmetry-smoothness, Gini, $M_{20}$ , and S & eacute;rsic fit. These parameters can be applied to column density maps of atomic hydrogen (H 1). The H 1 distribution is susceptible to perturbations by environmental effects, for example, intergalactic medium pressure and tidal interactions. Therefore, H 1 morphology can potentially identify galaxies undergoing ram-pressure stripping or tidal interactions. We explore three fields in the WALLABY Pilot H 1 survey and identify perturbed galaxies based on a k-nearest neighbour (kNN) algorithm using an H 1 morphometric feature space. For training, we used labelled galaxies in the combined NGC 4808 and NGC 4636 fields with six H 1 morphometrics to train and test a kNN classifier. The kNN classification is proficient in classifying perturbed galaxies with all metrics - accuracy, precision, and recall - at 70-80%. By using the kNN method to identify perturbed galaxies in the deployment field, the NGC 5044 mosaic, we find that in most regards, the scaling relations of perturbed and unperturbed galaxies have similar distribution in the scaling relations of stellar mass versus star formation rate and the Baryonic Tully-Fisher relation, but the H 1 and stellar mass relation flatter than of the unperturbed galaxies. Our results for NGC 5044 provide a prediction for future studies on the fraction of galaxies undergoing interaction in this catalogue and to build a training sample to classify such galaxies in the full WALLABY survey.
We examine the optical counterparts of the 1829 neutral hydrogen (HI) detections in three pilot fields in the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY (WALLABY) using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Surveys DR10. We find that 17 per cent (315) of the detections are optically low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs; mean g-band surface brightness within 1 R_e of > 23 mag arcsec^-2) and 3 per cent (55) are optically 'dark'. We find that the gas-rich WALLABY LSBGs have low star formation efficiencies, and have stellar masses spanning five orders of magnitude, which highlights the diversity of properties across our sample. 75 per cent of the LSBGs and all of the dark HI sources had not been catalogued prior to WALLABY. We examine the optically dark sample of the WALLABY pilot survey to verify the fidelity of the catalogue and investigate the implications for the full survey for identifying dark HI sources. We assess the HI detections without optical counterparts and identify 38 which pass further reliability tests. Of these, we find that 13 show signatures of tidal interactions. The remaining 25 detections have no obvious tidal origin, so are candidates for isolated galaxies with high HI masses, but low stellar masses and star-formation rates. Deeper HI and optical follow-up observations are required to verify the true nature of these dark sources.
The data volumes generated by theWidefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY atomic hydrogen (Hi) survey using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) necessitate greater automation and reliable automation in the task of source finding and cataloguing. To this end, we introduce and explore a novel deep learning framework for detecting low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Hi sources in an automated fashion. Specifically, our proposed method provides an automated process for separating true Hi detections from false positives when used in combination with the source finding application output candidate catalogues. Leveraging the spatial and depth capabilities of 3D convolutional neural networks, our method is specifically designed to recognize patterns and features in three-dimensional space, making it uniquely suited for rejecting false-positive sources in low SNR scenarios generated by conventional linear methods. As a result, our approach is significantly more accurate in source detection and results in considerably fewer false detections compared to previous linear statistics-based source finding algorithms. Performance tests using mock galaxies injected into real ASKAP data cubes reveal our method's capability to achieve near-100% completeness and reliability at a relatively low integrated SNR $\sim3-5$ . An at-scale version of this tool will greatly maximise the science output from the upcoming widefield Hi surveys.
An avenue for understanding cosmological galaxy formation is to compare morphometric parameters in observations and simulations of galaxy assembly. In this second paper of the ASymba: Asymmetries of HI in SIMBA Galaxies series, we measure atomic gas HI asymmetries in spatially-resolved detections from the untargetted WALLABY survey, and compare them to realizations of WALLABY-like mock samples from the SIMBA cosmological simulations. We develop a Scanline Tracing method to create mock galaxy HI datacubes which minimizes shot noise along the spectral dimension compared to particle-based methods, and therefore spurious asymmetry contributions. We compute 1D and 3D asymmetries for spatially-resolved WALLABY Pilot Survey detections, and find that the highest 3D asymmetries A3D>0.5 stem from interacting systems or detections with strong bridges or tails. We then construct a series of WALLABY-like mock realizations drawn from the SIMBA 50 Mpc simulation volume, and compare their asymmetry distributions. We find that the incidence of high A3D detections is higher in WALLABY than in the SIMBA mocks, but that difference is not statistically significant (p-value = 0.05). The statistical power of quantitative comparisons of asymmetries such as the one presented here will improve as the WALLABY survey progresses, and as simulation volumes and resolutions increase.
We present the first set of galaxy scaling relations derived from kinematic models of the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY (WALLABY) pilot phase observations. Combining the results of the first and second pilot data releases, there are 236 available kinematic models. We develop a framework for robustly measuring HI disk structural properties from these kinematic models; applicable to the full WALLABY survey. Utilizing this framework, we obtained the HI size, a measure of the rotational velocity, and angular momentum for 148 galaxies. These comprise the largest sample of galaxy properties from an untargetted, uniformly observed and modelled HI survey to date. We study the neutral atomic Hydrogen (HI) size-mass, size-velocity, mass-velocity, and angular momentum-mass scaling relations. We calculate the slope, intercept, and scatter for these scaling relations and find that they are similar to those obtained from other HI surveys. We also obtain stellar masses for 92 of the 148 robustly measured galaxies using multiband photometry through the Dark Energy Sky Instrument Legacy Imaging Survey Data Release-10 images. We use a subset of 61 of these galaxies that have consistent optical and kinematic inclinations to examine the stellar and baryonic Tully Fisher relations, the gas fraction-disk stability and gas fraction-baryonic mass relations. These measurements and relations demonstrate the unprecedented resource that WALLABY will represent for resolved galaxy scaling relations in HI.
ABSTRACT The tight relationship between infrared luminosity (LTIR) and 1.4 GHz radio continuum luminosity ($L_\mathrm{1.4\, GHz}$) has proven useful for understanding star formation free from dust obscuration. Infrared emission in star-forming galaxies typically arises from recently formed, dust-enshrouded stars, whereas radio synchrotron emission is expected from subsequent supernovae. By leveraging the wealth of ancillary far-ultraviolet – far-infrared photometry from the Deep Extragalactic VIsible Legacy Survey and Galaxy and Mass Assembly surveys, combined with 1.4 GHz observations from the Meer Karoo Array Telescope International GHz Tiered Extragalactic Exploration survey and Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origin projects, we investigate the impact of time-scale differences between far-ultraviolet – far-infrared and radio-derived star formation rate (SFR) tracers. We examine how the spectral energy distribution (SED)-derived star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies can be used to explain discrepancies in these SFR tracers, which are sensitive to different time-scales. Galaxies exhibiting an increasing SFH have systematically higher LTIR and SED-derived SFRs than predicted from their 1.4 GHz radio luminosity. This indicates that insufficient time has passed for subsequent supernovae-driven radio emission to accumulate. We show that backtracking the SFR(t) of galaxies along their SED-derived SFHs to a time several hundred megayears prior to their observed epoch will both linearize the SFR–$L_\mathrm{1.4\, GHz}$ relation and reduce the overall scatter. The minimum scatter in the SFR(t)–$L_\mathrm{1.4\, GHz}$ is reached at 200 – 300 Myr prior, consistent with theoretical predictions for the time-scales required to disperse the cosmic ray electrons responsible for the synchrotron emission.
We present the Pilot Survey Phase 2 data release for the Wide-field ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY (WALLABY), carried-outusing the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP). We present 1760 HIdetections (with a default spatial resolution of 30 '')fromthreepilotfields including the NGC 5044 and NGC 4808 groups as well as the Vela field, covering a total of similar to 180 deg2of the sky and spanning a redshiftup toz similar or equal to 0.09. This release also includes kinematic models for over 126 spatially resolved galaxies. The observed median rms noise in theimage cubes is 1.7 mJy per 30 '' beam and 18.5 kHz channel. This corresponds to a 5 sigma HIcolumn density sensitivity of similar to 9.1x10(19)(1+z)4cm(-2)per 30 '' beam and similar to 20 km s(-1)channel and a 5 sigma HImass sensitivity of similar to 5.5x10(8)(D/100 Mpc)(2)M(circle dot)for point sources. Furthermore,we also present for the first time 12 '' high-resolution images ("cut-outs") and catalogues for a sub-sample of 80 sources from the Pilot SurveyPhase 2 fields. While we are able to recover sources with lower signal-to-noise ratio compared to sources in the Public Data Release 1, we donote that some data quality issues still persist, notably, flux discrepancies that are linked to the impact of side lobes associated with the dirtybeams due to inadequate deconvolution. However, in spite of these limitations, the WALLABY Pilot Survey Phase 2 has already producedroughly a third of the number of HIPASS sources, making this the largest spatially resolved HIsample from a single survey to date.
The next generation of radio astronomy telescopes are challenging existing data analysis paradigms, as they have an order of magnitude more antennas and larger bandwidth. Foremost amongst these are deep spectral line surveys, because these have the largest number of epochs and spectral channels per dataset. For example, the Deep Investigation of Neutral Gas Origins (DINGO) project on the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) aims to observe over 3,200 hours spread over hundreds of observing sessions, covering two tiles, two footprints and two frequency settings. The two primary problems encountered when processing this data are the need for storage and that processing is primarily I/O limited. To address these issues, we have implemented a deep imaging pipeline based on the storage of an intermediate data product in the software ASKAPsoft, that of the uv-gridded data, and have demonstrated lossy and lossless compression of this data on ASKAP, using MGARD and ADIOS2 libraries. We find data compression ratios from a factor of 7 (lossless) up to 20 (using lossy compression with an absolute error bound of 10^-4), and processing is significantly faster for lossless compression. We discuss the effectiveness of lossy MGARD compression and its adherence to the designated error bounds, the trade-off between these error bounds and the corresponding compression ratios, as well as the potential consequences of these I/O and storage improvements on the science quality of the data products. As lossless compression allows us to achieve the DINGO goals within the storage limitations for the project, this will be the option adopted.
We explore the properties of an 'almost' dark cloud of neutral hydrogen (H I) using data from the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Survey (WALLABY). Until recently, WALLABY J103508 - 283427 (also known as H1032 - 2819 or LEDA 2793457) was not known to have an optical counterpart, but we have identified an extremely faint optical counterpart in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Legacy Imaging Survey Data Release 10. We measured the mean g-band surface brightness to be 27.0 +/- 0.3 mag arcsec(-2). The WALLABY data revealed the cloud to be closely associated with the interacting group Klemola 13 (also known as HIPASS J1034 - 28 and the Tol 9 group), which itself is associated with the Hydra cluster. In addition to WALLABY J103508 - 283427/H1032 - 2819, Klemola 13 contains 10 known significant galaxies and almost half of the total H I gas is beyond the optical limits of the galaxies. By combining the new WALLABY data with archival data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we investigate the H I distribution and kinematics of the system. We discuss the relative role of tidal interactions and ram pressure stripping in the formation of the cloud and the evolution of the system. The ease of detection of this cloud and intragroup gas is due to the sensitivity, resolution, and wide field of view of WALLABY, and showcases the potential of the full WALLABY survey to detect many more examples.
We present the highest resolution and sensitivity $\sim1.4\,$GHz continuum observations of the Eridanus supergroup obtained as a part of the Widefield ASKAP L-band Legacy All-sky Blind surveY (WALLABY) pre-pilot observations using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). We detect 9461 sources at 1.37 GHz down to a flux density limit of $\sim0.1$ mJy at $6.1''\times 7.9''$ resolution with a mean root-mean-square (RMS) of 0.05 mJy/beam. We find that the flux scale is accurate to within 5% (compared to NVSS at 1.4 GHz). We then determine the global properties of eight Eridanus supergroup members, which are detected in both radio continuum and neutral hydrogen (HI) emission, and find that the radio-derived star formation rates (SFRs) agree well with previous literature. Using our global and resolved radio continuum properties of the nearby Eridanus galaxies, we measure and extend the infrared-radio correlation (IRRC) to lower stellar masses and inferred star formation rates than before. We find the resolved IRRC to be useful for: 1) discriminating between AGN and star-forming galaxies (SFGs); 2) identifying background radio sources; and 3) tracing the effects of group environment pre-processing in NGC 1385. We find evidence for tidal interactions and ram-pressure stripping in the HI, resolved spectral index and IRRC morphologies of NGC 1385. There appears to be a spatial coincidence (in projection) of double-lobed radio jets with the central HI hole of NGC 1367. The destruction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by merger-induced shocks may be driving the observed WISE W3 deficit observed in NGC 1359. Our results suggest that resolved radio continuum and IRRC studies are excellent tracers of the physical processes that drive galaxy evolution and will be possible on larger sample of sources with upcoming ASKAP radio continuum surveys.
Galaxy morphology in atomic hydrogen (H i) and in the ultraviolet (UV) are closely linked. This has motivated their combined use to quantify morphology over the full H i disc for both H i and UV imaging. We apply galaxy morphometrics: concentration, asymmetry, gini, M-20 and multimode-intensity-deviation statistics to the first moment-0 maps of the WALLABY Survey of galaxies in the hydra cluster centre. Taking advantage of this new H i survey, we apply the same morphometrics over the full H i extent on archival GALEX FUV and NUV data to explore how well H i truncated, extended ultraviolet disc (XUV) and other morphological phenomena can be captured using pipeline WALLABY data products. Extended H i and UV discs can be identified relatively straightforward from their respective concentration. Combined with WALLABY H i, even the shallowest GALEX data are sufficient to identify XUV discs. Our second goal is to isolate galaxies undergoing ram-pressure stripping in the H i morphometric space. We employ four different machine learning techniques, a decision tree, a k-nearest neighbour, a support-vector machine, and a random forest. Up to 80 per cent precision and recall are possible with the random forest giving the most robust results.
We determine the atomic hydrogen (HI) to halo mass relation (HIHM) using Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey HI data at the location of optically selected groups from the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. We make direct HI detections for 37 GAMA groups. Using HI group spectral stacking of 345 groups, we study the group HI content as function of halo mass across a halo mass range of $10^{11} - 10^{14.7}\text{ M}_\odot$. We also correct our results for Eddington bias. We find that the group HI mass generally rises as a function of halo mass from $1.3\%$ of the halo mass at $10^{11.6} \text{M}_\odot$ to $0.4\%$ at $10^{13.7} \text{M}_\odot$ 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 HI-stacking studies. Our results are also consistent with mock observations from SHARK and IllustrisTNG.
