Low-Frequency Recombination Lines from Galaxies and AGN over Cosmic Time

Kimberly L. Emig, Sergei Balashev, Francoise Combes +10

Radio recombination lines (RRLs) at low frequencies (<10 GHz) can provide a multi-phase view of interstellar gas in nearby galaxies, absorption-line-systems, and AGN. Hydrogen RRLs…

Tracing Cold Gas in Absorption Across Cosmic Time with the SKA

Elizabeth K. Mahony, Neeraj Gupta, Sergei A. Balashev +12

Observing the 21-cm HI line in absorption provides a powerful means of tracing the cold neutral gas in normal and active galaxies across cosmic time. The frequency coverage and sen…

New constraints on the values of the fundamental constants at a look-back time of 7.3 Gyr

Renzhi Su, Stephen J. Curran, Francoise Combes +4

The study of redshifted spectral lines can provide a measure of the fundamental constants over large look-back times. Current grand unified theories predict an evolution in these c…

Cold molecules in HI 21cm absorbers across redshifts 0.1-4

Francoise Combes, Neeraj Gupta

Absorption lines at high redshift in front of quasars are rare in the mm domain. Only five associated and five intervening systems have been reported in the literature. These bring…

Discovery of CO absorption at z=0.05 in G0248+430

F. Combes, N. Gupta, G. I. G. Jozsa +1

Absorption lines in front of distant quasars are quite rare in the millimeter domain. They can however bring a very useful and complementary information to emission lines. We repor…

On the absence of molecular absorption in high redshift millimetre-band searches

S. J. Curran, M. T. Whiting, F. Combes +6

We have undertaken a search for millimetre-wave band absorption (through the CO and HCO+ rotational transitions) in the host galaxies of reddened radio sources (z = 0.405-1.802). D…
