Star Formation and Gas Kinematics of Quasar Host Galaxies at z~6: New insights from ALMA

Ran Wang, Jeff Wagg, Chris L. Carilli +13

We present ALMA observations of the [C II] 158 micron fine structure line and dust continuum emission from the host galaxies of five redshift 6 quasars. We also report complementar…

Star Formation in Quasar Host Galaxies at Redshift 6: Millimeter Surveys and New Insights from ALMA

Ran Wang, Jeff Wagg, Chris L. Carilli +9

We have been carrying out a systematic survey of the star formation and ISM properties in the host galaxies of z~6 quasars. Our 250 GHz observations, together with available data f…

A UV Ultra-luminous Lyman Break Galaxy at Z=2.78 in NDWFS Bootes Field

Fuyan Bian, Xiaohui Fan, Linhua Jiang +7

We present one of the most ultraviolet (UV) luminous Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) (J1432+3358) at z=2.78, discovered in the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS) Bootes field. The R-b…

Far-infrared and Molecular CO Emission From the Host Galaxies of Faint Quasars at z~6

Ran Wang, Jeff Wagg, Chris L. Carilli +10

We present new millimeter and radio observations of nine z~6 quasars discovered in deep optical and near-infrared surveys. We observed the 250 GHz continuum in eight of the nine ob…

Discovering the missing 2.2<z<3 quasars by combining optical variability and optical/near-IR colors

Xue-Bing Wu, Ran Wang, Kasper B. Schmidt +3

The identifications of quasars in the redshift range 2.2<z<3 are known to be very inefficient as their optical colors are indistinguishable from those of stars. Recent studies have…

CO (2-1) Line Emission in Redshift 6 Quasar Host Galaxies

Ran Wang, Jeff Wagg, Chris L. Carilli +12

We report new observations of CO (2-1) line emission toward five z~6 quasars using the Ka-band receiver system on the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA). Strong detections were obtai…
