Journal ArticleDOI
The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theoretical underpinning, techniques, and results of efforts to estimate the CO-to-H2 conversion factor in different environments, and recommend a conversion factor XCO = 2×10 20 cm −2 (K km s −1 ) −1 with ±30% uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
High molecular gas fractions in normal massive star-forming galaxies in the young Universe
Linda J. Tacconi,Reinhard Genzel,R. Neri,Pierre Cox,Michael C. Cooper,K. Shapiro,Alberto D. Bolatto,Nicolas Bouché,Frédéric Bournaud,Andreas Burkert,Francoise Combes,Julia M. Comerford,Michael Davis,N. M. Förster Schreiber,Santiago García-Burillo,Javier Graciá-Carpio,Dieter Lutz,T. Naab,Alain Omont,Alice E. Shapley,Amiel Sternberg,Benjamin J. Weiner +21 more
TL;DR: A survey of molecular gas in samples of typical massive-star-forming galaxies at mean redshifts of about 1.2 and 2.3 reveals that distant star forming galaxies were indeed gas rich, and that the star formation efficiency is not strongly dependent on cosmic epoch.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of the gas–star formation relation over cosmic time
Reinhard Genzel,Linda J. Tacconi,Javier Graciá-Carpio,Amiel Sternberg,Michael C. Cooper,Kristen L. Shapiro,Alberto D. Bolatto,Nicolas Bouché,Frédéric Bournaud,Andreas Burkert,Francoise Combes,Julia M. Comerford,Pierre Cox,Michael Davis,N. M. Förster Schreiber,Santiago García-Burillo,Dieter Lutz,Thorsten Naab,R. Neri,A. Omont,Alice E. Shapley,Benjamin J. Weiner +21 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the first systematic data sets of CO molecular line emission in z∼ 1 − 3 normal star-forming galaxies (SFGs) for a comparison of the dependence of galaxy-averaged star formation rates on molecular gas masses at low and high redshifts, and in different galactic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the IRAM Plateau de Bure high-z blue sequence CO 3-2 survey of the molecular gas properties in massive, main-sequence star-forming galaxies (SFGs) near the cosmic star formation peak is presented.
