7.  Using a 19 beam L-band receiver to map 2.3π sterradians FAST sky at 40 sec per beam, doable in 1-2 yrs. ◦ Expect about 1 million detections (Duffy et al. 2008) with M HI < 10 11 M  out to z ~ 0.15 in a range of environments including Coma, Hydra, Ursa Major, Persues-Pisces supercluster plus neighboring voids.

9.  Gas accreting onto galaxies  Tracing pass interactions  Mapping the cosmic web  Gas in void  Gas in groups and clusters, e.g. tails, filaments etc.

14. The scale of the HI filaments is about 25kpc, corresponding to about 3 arcmin at a distance of 30 Mpc, so FAST can resolove many of the filamentray features. FAST Popping et al. 2009

18.  To map a 4 square degree area, with an integration time of 10 minute per beam, in 10 hours we can reach a 3σ sensitivity of 1.5 x10 17 cm -2 per 2.1 km/s channel.  Select regions of different environments, ◦ void, big galaxies, clusters …
