Extr. Phys. Garching, Germany, Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Italy, IRAM, Grenoble, France, Sterrenwacht, Leiden, The Netherlands | | Abstract: | CO J = 5 - 4 and J = 2 - 1 emission lines were detected towards the extremely red galaxy (ERG) HR10 (J164502+4626.4) at z=1.44. The CO intensities imply a molecular gas mass M(H2) of 1.6 x 10^{11} h^{-2}_50 solar masses, and, combined with the intensity of the dust continuum, a gas-to-dust mass ratio around 200-400 (assuming galactic values for the conversion factors). The peak of the CO lines are at the same redshift as the [O II]3727 line, but blue- shifted by 430 km s^{-1} from the Halpha line. These CO detections confirm the previous results that HR10 is a highly obscured object with a large thermal far-infrared luminosity and a high star-formation rate. The overall properties of HR10 (CO detection, L_FIR to L’_CO ratio, and FIR to radio flux ratio) clearly favour the hypothesis that its extreme characteristics are related to star-formation processes rather than to a hidden AGN. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0001254 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
