Compilation of HIMF results from this work and from the literature. We show the resulting HIMF from the linear (yellow stars) and polynomial models (blue squares) as well as their best-fitting models as solid lines of the same color. We display the HIMFs from: ALFALFA at z ∼ 0 (Jones et al. 2018) as a dashed green line, MIGHTEE at 0 < z < 0.084 as dotted red (1/V_max) and dotted-dashed gray (MML) lines (Ponomareva et al. 2023), AUDS at z ∼ 0.16 as a dotted-dashed brown line (Hoppmann et al. 2015), BUDHIES at z ∼ 0.2 as a dashed cyan line (Gogate 2022), the intensity mapping experiment at z ∼ 0.32 as a dotted-dashed purple line (Paul et al. 2023), and as green circles and orange diamonds the results from a similar approach as that followed here applied to stacking results from uGMRT data at z ∼ 0.35 (Bera et al. 2022) and z ∼ 1 (Chowdhury et al. 2024).
