摘要:

历史上,GHz射电辐射已被广泛用于表征星系中的恒星形成活动。在这项工作中,我们寻找射电光度、红外光度和CO基分子气体质量之间的经验关系。我们收集了278个邻近星系的样本,测量了射电连续谱和总红外发射,以及$^{12}$ CO(J = 1-0)发射线。我们发现的无线电连续谱和CO发射线(与0.36 dex的散射)之间的相关性,在一个大样本的不同类型的星系。利用这种关联,我们研究了直到$z = 1.5$的六个红移仓中分子气体质量函数和宇宙学分子气体质量密度的演化。这些结果与以前的半解析预测和直接测量结果一致:宇宙分子气体密度增加到$z=1.5$。此外,我们发现一个单一的平面在五个数量级的探索光度,与0.27德克斯的散射。这些相关性足够稳健,可用于不存在CO测量的样品。

英文摘要:

Historically, GHz radio emission has been used extensively to characterize the star-formation activity in galaxies. In this work, we look for empirical relations amongst the radio luminosity, the infrared luminosity, and the CO-based molecular gas mass. We assemble a sample of 278 nearby galaxies with measurements of radio continuum and total infrared emission, and the $^{12}$CO (J = 1-0) emission line. We find a correlation between the radio continuum and the CO emission line (with a scatter of 0.36 dex), in a large sample of different kind of galaxies. Making use of this correlation, we explore the evolution of the molecular gas mass function and the cosmological molecular gas mass density in six redshift bins up to $z = 1.5$. These results agree with previous semi-analytic predictions and direct measurements: the cosmic molecular gas density increases up to $z=1.5$. In addition, we find a single plane across five orders of magnitude for the explored luminosities, with a scatter of 0.27 dex. These correlations are sufficiently robust to be used for samples where no CO measurements exist.
