Estimating the Mass Density of Neutral Gas At
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We use the relationships between galactic H I mass and B-band luminosity determined by Rao & Briggs to recalculate the mass density of neutral gas at the present epoch based on more recent measures of the galaxy luminosity function than were available to those authors. We find\\Omega gas (z = 0) ' 5 \\Theta 10 \\Gamma4 in good agreement with the original Rao & Briggs value, suggesting that this quantity is now reasonably secure. We then show that, if the scaling between H I mass and B-band luminosity has remained approximately constant since z = 1, the evolution of the luminosity function found by the Canada-France redshift survey translates to an increase of\\Omega gas by a factor of ß 3 at z = 0:5 \\Gamma 1 . A similar value is obtained quite independently from consideration of the luminosity function of Mg II absorbers at z = 0:65. By combining these new estimates with data from damped Lyman ff systems at higher redshift, it is possible to assemble a rough sketch of the evolution of...

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
