The Arecibo Pisces-Perseus Supercluster (APPS) Survey

In visualizations of the large scale structure within 100 Mpc, the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster (PPS) represents a strong overdensity, separated from the local Laniakea supercluster by a deep void. The PPS extends over 50 degrees of the Arecibo sky at a near-constant distance of 70 Mpc. Here, we propose to extend the results of the ALFALFA survey by conducting LBW HI-line observations of galaxies which are likely, based on photometry derived from SDSS and GALEX, to be PPS members, but which lie below the ALFALFA detection limit. Previous LBW observations under A2811 and A2859 have demonstrated the efficacy of this approach to increase the HI dataset by 50%. In addition to tracing the HI mass function to log MH = 8, we will use the Tully-Fisher relation to make a robust measurement of infall onto the PPS for comparison with flows predicted by constrained simulations. Outreach Abstract: One of the most prominent features in the extragalactic sky visible from Arecibo is the Pisces-Perseus supercluster, a huge filamentary structure containing thousands of galaxies all at a distance of about 225 million light years. Extending over 50 degrees across the Arecibo sky, it serves as a perfect laboratory to test how well galaxies trace dark matter along the "Cosmic Web". We will combine Arecibo observations of emission from the atomic hydrogen gas in these galaxies with optical and ultraviolet imaging of their starlight to make a quantitative measurement of how the galaxies are falling onto the supercluster filament due to its mass (luminous plus dark matter) overdensity. We will also determine how the hydrogen mass of galaxies is influenced by their location within this unique nearby example of the cosmic web.

Section I I - Time Request
The following times are in LST. For these observations night-time is required.

Begin ­ End Interval­Interval 21.5 ­ 3.25 ­ ­ ­

Days Needed at This Interval 22

Time Constraints (Must Be Justified in the Prop osal Text) So that members of the Undergraduate ALFALFA team are able to travel to Arecibo to conduct the observations, we request at least 6 nights during the "Thanksgiving break" period: Nov 22-29, 2015. For nighttime observing, sessions need to be between late Aug - Nov. 2
