The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor and Dust-to-Gas Ratio on Kiloparsec Scales in Nearby Galaxies

K. M. Sandstrom, A. K. Leroy, F. Walter +42

We present kiloparsec (kpc) spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (alpha_co) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneo…

PHIBSS: molecular gas content and scaling relations in z~1-3 normal star forming galaxies

L. J. Tacconi, R. Neri, R. Genzel +21

We present PHIBSS, the IRAM Plateau de Bure high-z blue sequence CO 3-2 survey of the molecular gas properties in normal star forming galaxies (SFGs) near the cosmic star formation…

CO in late-type galaxies within the central region of Abell 1367

T. C. Scott, A. Usero, E. Brinks +3

We present CO (J = 1 - 0) and CO (J = 2 - 1) spectra for 19 bright, late-type galaxies (spirals) in the central region of the galaxy cluster Abell 1367 (z = 0.02) from observations…

Fueling the central engine of radio galaxies. II. The footprints of AGN feedback on the ISM of 3C 236

A. Labiano, S. Garcia-Burillo, F. Combes +7

Aims: We study the emission of molecular gas in 3C236, a FR II radio source at z~0.1, and search for the footprints of AGN feedback. 3C236 shows signs of a reactivation of its AGN…

Star Formation Efficiency at Intermediate Redshift

F. Combes, S. Garcia-Burillo, J. Braine +3

Star formation is evolving very fast in the second half of the Universe, and it is yet unclear whether this is due to evolving gas content, or evolving star formation efficiency (S…

Gas fraction and star formation efficiency at z < 1.0

F. Combes, S. Garcia-Burillo, J. Braine +3

After new observations of 39 galaxies at z = 0.6-1.0 obtained at the IRAM 30m telescope, we present our full CO line survey covering the redshift range 0.2 < z < 1. Our aim is to d…
