Cold hydrogen gas is the raw fuel for star formation in galaxies, and its partition into atomic and molecular phases is a key quantity for galaxy evolution. In this Letter, we combine Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and Arecibo single-dish observations to estimate the molecular-to-atomic hydrogen mass ratio for massive star-forming galaxies at $z\sim$ 0.2 extracted from the HIGHz survey, i.e., some of the most massive gas-rich systems currently known. We show that the balance between atomic and molecular hydrogen in these galaxies is similar to that of local main-sequence disks, implying that atomic hydrogen has been dominating the cold gas mass budget of star-forming galaxies for at least the past three billion years. In addition, despite harboring gas reservoirs that are more typical of objects at the cosmic noon, HIGHz galaxies host regular rotating disks with low gas velocity dispersions suggesting that high total gas fractions do not necessarily drive high turbulence in the interstellar medium.

The ALMA Spectroscopic Survey in the HUDF: Constraining cumulative CO emission at $1 \lesssim z \lesssim 4$ with power spectrum analysis of ASPECS LP data from 84 to 115 GHz
我们提出了一个功率谱分析的ALMA光谱测量大型计划(ASPECS LP)的数据从84到115 GHz。这些数据主要探测小尺度波动($k=10$ - $100$ h Mpc $^{-1}$)在星系中的CO排放总量在$1 \lesssim z \lesssim 4$。我们放置一个积分约束CO光度函数(LF)在这个红移范围内,通过直接测量其在三维(3D)自功率谱的二阶矩,找到一个总CO散粒噪声功率$P_{\textrm{CO,CO}}(k_{\textrm{CO(2-1)}}) \leq 1.9\times10^2$ $μ$ K $^2$(Mpc h $^{-1}$)$^3$。该上限($3σ$)与Decarli等人2019年观察到的ASPECS CO LF一致,但排除了从这些LF推断的$P_{\textrm{CO,CO}}(k_{\textrm{CO(2-1)}})$范围内的较大空间,我们将其主要归因于$z > 2$处Schechter型CO LF的归一化$Φ_*$和膝关节$L_*$的较大不确定性。此外,通过功率谱分析的ASPECS LP数据与415个位置的可用的光学光谱红移的星系,我们发现,所观察到的平均CO强度和散粒噪声功率的MUSE星系的贡献主要是由ASPECS盲检测,虽然有$\sim20$ %的贡献CO(2-1)的平均强度由于源先前未检测到的盲线搜索。最后,我们从个人的盲目CO检…
