H I study of these can help us understand the star formation in the primordial Universe. In this Letter, we present the results of H I 21 cm study of 28 high specific star formation rate (sSFR $\\gtrsim$10$^{-8}$ yr$^{-1}$) BBs at $z\\lesssim$0.05 with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. We report significant H I detection towards two BBs namely J1026+0426 and J1132+0809, and discuss possible H I contribution from neighboring galaxies. The median 3$\\sigma$ upper limit of $\\sim$2.0$\\times$10$^{8}$ M$_{\\odot}$ was obtained on H I mass for galaxies with nondetections. We find BBs tend to have lower H I-to-stellar mass ratio or gas fraction ($f_{\\rm HI}$) than expected from $f_{\\rm HI}$-sSFR and $f_{\\rm HI}$-$M_{\\ast}$ relations for main-sequence galaxies. The BBs also have a median 3$\\sigma$ upper limit on H I gas depletion time scale ($\\tau_{\\rm HI}$) $\\sim$0.5 Gyr, about 1 order of magnitude lower than $\\tau_{\\rm HI}$ for local main-sequence galaxies. We find a significantly low H I detection rate of 2/28 (7.1$^{+9.4}_{-4.6}$ \\%) towards these galaxies, which is similar to previous H I studies of low redshift GPs of high ionization parameter indicator, O32 $\\equiv$O[{\\sc iii}]$\\lambda$5007/O[{\\sc ii}]$\\lambda$3727 ratios $\\gtrsim$10.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-20T18:23:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "blueberry galaxies", "cm study", "high specific star formation rate", "high ionization parameter indicator", "five-hundred-meter aperture spherical radio telescope" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
