Discovery of molecular gas fueling galaxy growth in a protocluster at z = 1.7

Abstract: Based on ALMA Band 3 observations of the CO(2→1) line transition, we report the discovery of three new gas-rich (MH2 ∼ 1.5 − 4.8 × 1010 M⊙) galaxies in an overdense region at z = 1.7 that already contains eight spectroscopically confirmed members. This leads to a total of 11 confirmed overdensity members within a projected distance of ∼1.15 Mpc and in a redshift range of Δz = 0.012. Under simple assumptions, we estimate that the system has a total mass of ≥3 − 6 × 1013 M⊙, and show that it will likely evolve i… Show more

“…[46]) of its major stellar mass building. Indeed, we note that the derived SFR implies that the molecular gas reservoir measured by [16] will be depleted in ∼3.5 × 10 8 yr. Moreover, assuming that the BH is accreting with an efficiency η = 0.3 (as assumed by [15] and as generally thought for BHs powering jetted AGN; refs.…”

“…Based on Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the CO(2-1) transition line, ref. [16] reported the discovery of three new gas-rich members (magenta circles in Figure 1), in addition to a large molecular gas reservoir (M H 2 ∼ 2 × 10 11 M ) distributed in a ∼20-30 kpc structure around the FRII host galaxy and rotating perpendicularly to the radio jets (at least in projection). Furthermore, ref.…”
