A Molecular Line Scan in the Hubble Deep Field North: Constraints on the CO Luminosity Function and the Cosmic H2 Density

F. Walter, R. Decarli, M. Sargent +19

We present direct constraints on the CO luminosity function at high redshift and the resulting cosmic evolution of the molecular gas density, (z), based on a blind mole…

H2O emission in high-z ultra-luminous infrared galaxies

A. Omont, Chentao Yang, P. Cox +47

Using IRAM PdBI we report the detection of H2O in six new lensed ultra-luminous starburst galaxies at high redshift, discovered in the Herschel H-ATLAS survey. The sources are dete…

BR1202-0725: An Extreme Multiple Merger at z = 4.7

P. Salome, M. Guelin, D. Downes +5

The radio-quiet quasar BR1202-0725 (z=4.695) is a remarkable source with a bright Northwest (NW) companion detected at submm and radio wavelengths but invisible in the optical. In…

The Intense Starburst HDF850.1 in a Galaxy Overdensity at z=5.2 in the Hubble Deep Field

Fabian Walter, R. Decarli, C. Carilli +24

The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is a region in the sky that provides one of the deepest multi-wavelength views of the distant universe and has led to the detection of thousands of gala…

The Arp 220 merger on kpc scales

S. König, M. García-Marín, A. Eckart +2

For the first time we study the Eastern nucleus in greater detail and search for the more extended emission in the molecular gas in different CO line transitions of the famous ULIR…

On the Variations of Fundamental Constants and AGN feedback in the QSO host galaxy RXJ0911.4+0551 at z=2.79

A. Weiss, F. Walter, D. Downes +4

We report on sensitive observations of the CO(7-6) and CI(2-1) transitions in the z=2.79 QSO host galaxy RXJ0911.4+0551 using the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer (PdBI). Our ex…
