摘要
The "ALFA Ultra Deep Survey" (AUDS) is an ongoing 21 cm spectral survey with the Arecibo 305 m telescope. AUDS will be the most sensitive blind survey undertaken with Arecibo's 300 MHz Mock spectrometer. The survey searches for 21 cm Hi line emission at redshifts between 0 and 0.16. The main goals of the survey are to investigate the Hi content and probe the evolution of Hi gas within that redshift region. In this paper, we report on a set of precursor observations with a total integration time of 53 hr. The survey detected a total of eighteen 21 cm emission lines at redshifts between 0.07 and 0.15 in a region centered around alpha(2000) approximate to 0(h), delta approximate to 15 degrees 42'. The rate of detection is consistent with the one expected from the local Hi mass function. The derived relative Hi density at the median redshift of the survey is rho(HI)[z = 0.125] = (1.0 +/- 0.3)rho(0), where rho(0) is the HI density at zero redshift.
