H I mass as a function of halo mass over a wide mass range. The integrated H I mass within R < 2R200 (red squares) and 2R200 < R < 5R200 (blue solid circles) for individual clusters is shown. The MHIMhalo relations for group galaxies from A. Obuljen et al. (2019) and H. Guo et al. (2017) are shown as black open circles and open squares, respectively. The H I-selected dwarf galaxies (MHI < 108 M) are shown as open triangles (C. Cheng et al. 2025a). We further compare our measurements with the TNG-Cluster simulation results (green diamonds; D. Nelson et al. 2024) and the TNG100 simulation results for central galaxies (cyan shaded region) and satellite galaxies (violet shaded region; F. Villaescusa-Navarro et al. 2018). Overall, the simulation results are broadly consistent with the observations, but are systematically lower than the observed H I masses over a wide range of halo masses.
