We detect the neutral hydrogen (HI) radial brightness temperature profile in
large-scale haloes by stacking 48,430 galaxies selected from the 2dFGRS
catalogue onto a set of 21-cm intensity maps obtained with the Parkes radio
telescope, spanning a total area of $\sim$1,300 $deg^2$ on the sky and
covering the redshift range $0.06z0.10$. Maps are obtained by
removing both 10 and 20 foreground modes in the principal component analysis.
We perform the stack at the map level and extract the profile from a circularly
symmetrised version of the halo emission. We detect the HI halo emission with
the significance $12.5\sigma$ for the 10-mode and $13.5\sigma$ for the 20-mode
removed maps at the profile peak. We jointly fit for the observed halo mass
$M_v$ and the normalisation $c_0,HI$ for the HI concentration
parameter against the reconstructed profiles, using functional forms for the HI
halo abundance proposed in the literature. We find $łog_10(M_\rm
v/M_ødot) = 16.1^+0.1_-0.2$, $c_0,HI=3.5^+0.7_-1.0$
for the 10-mode and $łog_10(M_v/M_ødot) =
16.5^+0.1_-0.2$, $c_0,HI=5.3^+1.1_-1.7$ for the 20-mode removed
maps. These estimates show the detection of the integrated contribution from
multiple galaxies located inside very massive haloes. We also consider
sub-samples of 13,979 central and 34,361 satellite 2dF galaxies separately, and
obtain marginal differences suggesting satellite galaxies are HI-richer. This
work shows for the first time the feasibility of testing theoretical models for
the HI halo content directly on profiles extracted from 21-cm maps and opens
future possibilities for exploiting upcoming HI intensity-mapping data.
