First detection of [CII]158 μ m at high redshift: vigorous star formation in the early universe
Open accessAbstract
We report the detection of the fine-structure line of at 157.74 in SDSS J114816.64+525150.3 (hereafter J1148+5251), the most distant known quasar, at , using the IRAM 30-m telescope. This is the first detection of the [Cii] line at high redshift, and also the first detection in a Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxy (). The [Cii] line is detected at a significance level of 8σ and has a luminosity of . The ratio is , about an order of magnitude smaller than observed in local normal galaxies and similar to the ratio observed in local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies. The [Cii] line luminosity indicates that the host galaxy of this quasar is undergoing an intense burst of star formation with an estimated rate of ≈. The detection of in SDSS J1148+5251 suggests a significant enrichment of metals at (age of the universe ~870 Myr), although the data are consistent with a reduced carbon to oxygen ratio as expected from chemical evolutionary models of the early phases of galaxy formation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
