Neutral hydrogen in galaxies
HI observations provide a powerful probe of the mass distribution in galaxies (dark matter) and the fuel supply available for new star formation
Stellar light HI gas distribution

Cosmic star-formation history
The rate at which new stars form in galaxies has decreased by about a factor of 20 over the past 7-8 billion years (from redshift z~1 to 0).
What caused this? A decline in the supply of cold neutral gas in galaxies?
We don’t know!
(Hopkins & Beacom 2006)

Neutral (atomic and molecular) hydrogen is the missing link in our current models of galaxy evolution
• We know almost nothing about the HI content of galaxies at 0.2<z<2.
• A wide range of models and simulations exist, none of which fit all the data.
• Unknown HI/H2 fraction at z > 0.

CO in star-forming galaxies at z~1

Optical: Damped Ly Absorbers
DLAs: Intervening absorbers with high HI column density (NHI > 2 x 1020 cm-2) can be
used to detect and study neutral hydrogen in the very distant universe. Ground-based observations of the Lyman- line are only possible at redshift z > 1.7
DLA
Lyman forest

HI column density distribution
Zwaan et al. (2005)
Optical DLA surveys at z > 2 do not detect the highest column-density absorbers expected on ~0.1% of sightlines, and “do not trace the majority of star-forming gas in the universe” (Ledoux et al. 2003). Dust obscuration?

WSRT: Lane et al. 2001, targeted, z = 0.436
Radio 21cm measurements are particularly sensitive to cold HI (TS < 200K)
NHI/Ts.V for observed optical depth
Probability of intercepting a DLA system (NHI > 2 x 1020 cm-2) on a random line of sight?
dN/dZ=0.055 (1+z)1.11
(Storrie-Lombardi & Wolfe 2000)
i.e. ~6% for z=0.7, 300 MHz band
Radio: Intervening HI absorption lines
Unlike optical, no redshift limit for detecting radio 21cm absorption lines.
But do need many targets, wide bandwidth

FLASH: the First Large Absorption Survey in HI
Key science goals:
• To provide the first systematic probe of the neutral hydrogen (HI) content of individual galaxies in the redshift range 0.5 < z < 1.0
• To make tests of current galaxy evolution and mass assembly models in this redshift range, using the observed and predicted distributions of quantities like HI optical depth and line width.

The advantages of ASKAP
ASKAP’s
• Wide field of view
• Wide spectral bandwidth
• Radio-quiet site
make it possible to carry out the first blind radio survey for HI absorption
Only about 400 sightlines have so far been searched for HI absorption in the radio (roughly 200 each with single-dish (blind) and interferometer (targeted) programs).
In the ASKAP-FLASH survey, we will target more than 150,000 sightlines to bright background continuum sources, an increase of more than two orders of magnitude over previous work.

CO spectral-line detections should require only short integration times with ALMA for HI-selected galaxies out to z=1

Associated HI absorption in radio galaxies

Associated HI absorption at or near the galaxy redshift is particularly common in compact, flat-spectrum radio galaxies (Vermeulen et al. 2003)
