We studied the molecular gas properties of AzTEC/C159, a star-forming disk galaxy at z = 4.567, in order to better constrain the nature of the high-redshift end of the submillimeter-selected galaxy (SMG) population. We secured 12CO molecular line det... Read More about Molecular gas in AzTEC/C159: a star-forming disk galaxy 1.3 Gyr after the Big Bang.

We present ALMA observations of the mid-J 12CO emission from six single-dish selected 870-μm sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South and UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey fields. These six single-dish submillimetre sources were selected based on prev...

Testing star formation laws in a starburst galaxy at redshift 3 resolved with ALMA (2018)
Journal Article
Sharda, P., Federrath, C., da Cunha, E., Swinbank, A., & Dye, S. (2018). Testing star formation laws in a starburst galaxy at redshift 3 resolved with ALMA. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 477(4), 4380-4390. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty886

Using high-resolution (sub-kiloparsec scale) data obtained by ALMA, we analyse the star formation rate (SFR), gas content, and kinematics in SDP 81, a gravitationally lensed starburst galaxy at redshift 3. We estimate the SFR surface density (SFR) in... Read More about Testing star formation laws in a starburst galaxy at redshift 3 resolved with ALMA.
