CO emission from high redshift
نویسندگان
چکیده
Future observations with ALMA will be able to detect star-forming primordial galaxies, and perhaps even their dwarf spheroidal satellites, in CO emission lines at redshifts approaching 10. These observations will compliment other tools designed to study the dawn of galaxy formation, such as NGST and FIRST.

A broadband spectroscopic search for CO line emission in HDF850.1: the brightest submillimetre object in the Hubble Deep Field North
Using the 100-m Green Bank Telescope, we have conducted a cm-wavelength search for CO J=1-0 line emission towards the high-redshift, far-infrared luminous object, HDF850.1 over the redshift interval 3.3 ∼ z ∼ 5.4. Despite the wealth of existing multi-wavelength observations, and the recent identification of a galaxy counterpart in deep K ′ band (2.2 μm) imaging, an unambiguous spectroscopic red...
متن کاملHigh resolution observations of a starburst at z = 0 . 223 : resolved CO ( 1 – 0 ) structure ⋆
We present the results of CO(1–0) emission mapping with the IRAM interferometer, at ∼ 1 ′′ resolution, of the z=0.223 ultra-luminous starburst IRAS 11582+3020. This galaxy was selected from an IRAM-30m survey of 30 galaxies at moderate redshift (z ∼ 0.2-0.6) to explore galaxy evolution and in particular the star formation efficiency, in the redshift range filling the gap between local and very ...
متن کاملIntensity Mapping with Carbon Monoxide Emission Lines and the Redshifted 21 Cm Line
We quantify the prospects for using emission lines from rotational transitions of the CO molecule to perform an ‘intensity mapping’ observation at high redshift during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). The aim of CO intensity mapping is to observe the combined CO emission from many unresolved galaxies, to measure the spatial fluctuations in this emission, and use this as a tracer of large scale ...
متن کاملThe Black Hole - Bulge Relationship for QSOs at High Redshift
We examine the black hole mass galaxy bulge relationship in high-redshift QSOs. Black hole masses are derived from the broad emission lines, and the host galaxy stellar velocity dispersion σ∗ is estimated from the widths of the radio CO emission lines. At redshifts z > 3, the CO line widths are narrower than expected for the black hole mass, indicating that these giant black holes reside in und...
متن کاملMolecular Emission Lines from High Redshift AGNs
A brief overview is given of the current status of molecular emission line observations at high redshift. New observations are presented of CO in the gravitationally lensed quasar MG 0414+0534 (detected) and the unlensed quasar PG 1634+706 (not detected). Also noted are the results of a partially completed search for water maser emission in several redshift bands above z = 0.4.
متن کاملEMISSION-LINE OBJECTS FROM A PRELIMINARY UKST OBJECTIVE PRISM SURVEY
A visual search has been made of four fields using United Kingdom 1.2m Schmidt Objective Prism plates with a reciprocal dispersion of 1 180 A/mm at HP. Such plate material is ideally suited to searches for emission-line galaxies. We present a catalogue of 53 emission-line objects, which comprises 45 galaxies, where individual HI1 regions are resolved in 16 bright galaxies; 8 are emission li...
