Short gas depletion times in unobscured quasars at z ~ 1

Unobscured quasars (QSOs) are predicted to be the final stage in the evolutionary sequence from gas-rich mergers to gas-depleted, quenched galaxies. Studies of this population, however, find a high incidence of far-infrared-luminous sources-suggesting significant dust-obscured st ...

Erratum

Molecular Outflows in z > 6 Unobscured QSO Hosts Driven by Star Formation (Astrophysical Journal (2023) 944 (134) 

In this erratum, we correct a mistake in the derivation of OH 119 µm equivalent width in two sources: J2310+1855 and P183+05. Consequently, we also correct the molecular gas outflow mass, mass outflow rate (MOFR), momentum flux, kinetic energy flux, and depletion times as the der ...

Deshima 2.0

Rapid Redshift Surveys and Multi-line Spectroscopy of Dusty Galaxies

We present a feasibility study for the high-redshift galaxy part of the Science Verification Campaign with the 220–440 GHz deshima 2.0 integrated superconducting spectrometer on the ASTE telescope. The first version of the deshima 2.0 chip has been recently manufactured and teste ...
Advances in far infrared astronomy have been, and will be, defined by instrument capabilities. Especially relevant is the development of imaging spectrometers for the wavelength range of 0.03-3 mm, which are not available at all at this moment. We will discuss recent advances in ...
We present a high-resolution study of the cold molecular gas as traced by CO(1-0) in the unlensed z ∼3.4 submillimeter galaxy SMM J13120+4242, using multiconfiguration observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA). The gas reservoir, imaged on 0.″39 (∼3 kpc) scales ...
We report the detection of a massive neutral gas outflow in the z = 2.09 gravitationally lensed dusty star-forming galaxy HATLAS J085358.9+015537 (G09v1.40), seen in absorption with the OH+(11-10) transition using spatially resolved (0"5 × 0"4) Atacama Large Millimeter/submillime ...
The [C ii] 158 μm fine-structure line is the brightest emission line observed in local star-forming galaxies. As a major coolant of the gas-phase interstellar medium, [C ii] balances the heating, including that due to far-ultraviolet photons, which heat the gas via the photoelect ...
The [NII] 122 and 205 um transitions are powerful tracers of the ionized gas in the ISM: (1) the [NII] 122/205 line ratio can be used to measure the electron density of the low-excitation, ionized gas, and (2) the intensity of these lines is directly related to the flux of ionizi ...
