PHIBSS: MOLECULAR GAS CONTENT AND SCALING RELATIONS IN z∼ 1-3 MASSIVE, MAIN-SEQUENCE STAR-FORMING GALAXIES
Open accessAbstract
We present PHIBSS, the IRAM Plateau de Bure high- z blue sequence CO 3–2 survey of the molecular gas properties in massive, main-sequence star-forming galaxies (SFGs) near the cosmic star formation peak. PHIBSS provides 52 CO detections in two redshift slices at z ∼ 1.2 and 2.2, with log( M * ( M ☉ )) ⩾ 10.4 and log(SFR( M ☉ /yr)) ⩾ 1.5. Including a correction for the incomplete coverage of the M * –SFR plane, and adopting a "Galactic" value for the CO–H 2 conversion factor, we infer average gas fractions of ∼0.33 at z ∼ 1.2 and ∼0.47 at z ∼ 2.2. Gas fractions drop with stellar mass, in agreement with cosmological simulations including strong star formation feedback. Most of the z ∼ 1–3 SFGs are rotationally supported turbulent disks. The sizes of CO and UV/optical emission are comparable. The molecular-gas–star-formation relation for the z = 1–3 SFGs is near-linear, with a ∼0.7 Gyr gas depletion timescale; changes in depletion time are only a secondary effect. Since this timescale is much less than the Hubble time in all SFGs between z ∼ 0 and 2, fresh gas must be supplied with a fairly high duty cycle over several billion years. At given z and M * , gas fractions correlate strongly with the specific star formation rate (sSFR). The variation of sSFR between z ∼ 0 and 3 is mainly controlled by the fraction of baryonic mass that resides in cold gas.

“In that paper we proposed that the lower than expected CO emission is the result of the more extensive UV photodissociation of CO molecules in lower metallicity environments, leading in effect in an increase of the conversion factor α by factors of >3 and >10 between solar and 0.5 and 0.25 times solar metallicity, res…”

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.
