ALMA spectroscopic survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field : CO luminosity funtions and the evolution of the cosmic density of molecular gas Universiteit Gent
In this paper we use ASPECS, the ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field in band. 3 and band. 6, to place blind constraints on the CO luminosity function and the evolution of the cosmic molecular gas density as a function of redshift up to z similar to 4.5. This study is based on galaxies that have been selected solely through their CO emission and not through any other property. In all of the redshift bins the ASPECS ...
