Hydrogen line observation frequency range and space Hydrogen speed?

[PeterDonis]

why we do not measure 'fast' hydrogen atoms.

Because the hydrogen atoms being measured are in gas clouds in our own galaxy, whose velocities relative to Earth are not going to be very fast when compared with the speed of light.

But until post #23, you did not tell us what "hydrogen atoms" you were even talking about. Not until post #23 did you actually give us a reference that showed specific measurements of particular hydrogen gas clouds--and then they turn out to be hydrogen gas clouds in our own galaxy, whose measured power spectrum, as shown in the "previous post" on physicsopenlab (linked to at the top of the one you referenced), peaks at about 1420 MHz, exactly as expected for the 21 cm hydrogen line with no cosmological redshift. Yet in your OP, you talked about frequencies ranging from 200 MHz down to 15 MHz, which cannot possibly be from the measurements discussed in the physicsopenlab article.

My understanding was the measurements in the 200MHz-15MHz as per wiki page include Doppler effect in combination with the other factors.
If that's not the case then I stand corrected.

points towards the question trying to resolve the speed of hydrogen in space.

Have nothing to do with the actual measurements you referenced in post #23.

And at this point that question has been sufficiently answered, and enough time has been spent on it. Thread closed.
