CO Emission of Dust-Rich Broad-Emission-Line Quasars
摘要
Abstract
Dust-rich broad-emission-line qusars(DBQs)are in a critical phase in galaxy evolution,whose star-forming potential can be revealed by the molecular gas.We used the IRAM-30m telescope to observe CO emission lines in nine DBQs at 0.5<z<3,and detected nine lines at different transitions in eight sources.Five lines are strong detections,and four lines are tentative detections.According to the CO line-width versus line luminosity diagram,seven sources satisfy the unlensed/slightly-lensed relation,while one is likely to be strongly lensed by a factor of about 12.With lensing-corrected infrared luminosities from the literature and SED fitting,we estimate their star formation rates to be approximately 40~3 500 M⊙·a-1,and the gas depletion time to be approximately 20~300 Ma.Their star formation efficiency shows no significant difference from other SMGs and QSOs comparing their IR and CO luminosities.We find a negative correlation between AGN relative strength and gas depletion time,which is consistent with the QSO evolutionary model.关键词
