- DESI BGS: >10 million galaxies, median z ~ 0.2
- Takes place during bright time
- Two priority Tiers: r<19.5 and 19.5<r<20.0
- 14,000 sq deg with 3 passes of sky
- Like SDSS, but bigger and deeper!

We need to understand the connection between galaxy optical properties and HI gas content in the local Universe

ALFALFA Survey
The Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey is the largest blind extragalactic HI survey of the local HI universe to date. The completed ALFALFA survey has detected more than 30,000 extragalactic HI line sources out to z~0.06. Great synergy with optical surveys like the SDSS.

SLIDE 29 Ram pressure stripping removes the cold gas reservoir on much shorter time scale (< 1 Gyr) than quenching (~ a few Gyrs). Satellite galaxies can still form stars while gradually being quenched after infall (see Wetzel+ 2013; Simha+ 2014)

is likely caused by gas stripping in clusters
SLIDE 30 Conclusions
q
We develop a method to predict HI fraction from stellar mass and color, using a joint SDSS-ALFALFA sample. Potentially useful for understanding the cross-spectrum between Tianlai IM and DESI BGS galaxies.
q
We eliminate the impact of Malmquist bias of HI detections on the predictor by properly accounting for the HI-detection probability of each SDSS galaxy in the
- analysis. The predictor has an estimated scatter of 0.27 dex.
q
We demonstrate that the HI excess is likely the main driver of the scatter in the mass-metallicity relation, a key ingredient in solving galactic baryon cycling.
q
The environmental dependence of HI can be effectively captured by a cross- correlation coefficient between HI excess and red galaxy overdensity (-0.18). Important for understanding the cross-correlation coefficient between galaxies and HI intensity map.
