[CII] line emission in BRI 1335-0417 at z = 4.4*
Using the 12-m APEX telescope, we have detected redshifted emission from the 157.74 μm [CII] line in the z = 4.4074 quasar BRI 1335-0417. The linewidth and redshift are in good agreement with previous observations of high-J CO line emission. We measure a [CII] line luminosity, L[CII] = (16.4 ± 2.6) × 109 L , making BRI 1335-0417 the most luminous, unlensed [CII] line emitter known at high-redsh...
متن کاملFormation of a Quasar Host Galaxy through a Wet Merger 1.4 Billion Years after the Big Bang
We present high-resolution Very Large Array imaging of the molecular gas in the host galaxy of the high redshift quasar BRI 1335–0417 (z = 4.41). Our CO(J=2→1) observations have a linear resolution of 0.15 (1.0 kpc) and resolve the molecular gas emission both spatially and in velocity. The molecular gas in BRI 1335–0417 is extended on scales of 5 kpc, and shows a complex structure. At least thr...
متن کاملSensitive Radio Observations of High-Redshift Dusty QSOs
We present sensitive radio continuum imaging at 1.4 GHz and 4.9 GHz of seven high redshift QSOs selected for having a 240 GHz continuum detection, which is thought to be thermal dust emission. We detect radio continuum emission from four of the sources: BRI 0952−0115, BR 1202−0725, LBQS 1230+1627B, and BRI 1335−0417. The radio source in BR 1202−0725 is resolved into two components, coincident w...
متن کامل[CII] 158μm Emission and Metallicity in PDRs
We study the effects of a metallicity variation on the thermal balance and [CII] fine-structure line strengths in interstellar photon dominated regions (PDRs). We find that a reduction in the dust-to-gas ratio and the abundance of heavy elements in the gas phase changes the heat balance of the gas in PDRs. The surface temperature of PDRs decreases as the metallicity decreases except for high de...
متن کاملDust and CO lines in high redshift quasars
We report the results of a systematic search for redshifted rotational lines of CO and dust emission towards a sample of 9 high redshift radio quiet quasars using the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer. Dust emission at ∼ 1.35 mm has been found in 5 out of the 9 objects. These results confirm the corresponding previous detections with the MPIfR bolometer at the 30-m. No 3 mm continuum was dete...
