The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) has the largest aperture and a 19-beam L-band receiver, making it powerful for investigating neutral hydrogen atomic gas (HI) in universe. We present HiFAST (https://hifast.readthedocs.io), dedicated, modular, self-contained calibration imaging pipeline processing HI data of FAST. consists frequency-dependent noise diode calibration, baseline fitting, standing wave removal using an FFT-based method, flux density stray radiation...

<title>Abstract</title> Galaxy filaments, as quasi-linear and extensive features of galaxy distributions, are a crucial component the cosmic web. Cosmological simulations have predicted hierarchical nature to filaments. However, direct view small-scale filaments has been lacking validate this prediction. Here we report detection sub-galaxy-filament in Ursa Major cluster using atomic-hydrogen observations. This filament consists cold gas clumps various types galaxies, spanning length...

Abstract Based on a new H i survey using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), combined with Pan-STARRS1 images, we identified an isolated cloud without any optical counterpart, named FAST J0139+4328.
