Abstract

We present a survey of the [C ii] 158 μ m line and underlying far-infrared (FIR) dust continuum emission in a sample of 27 quasars using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) at resolution. The [C ii] line was significantly detected (at -σ) in 23 sources (85%). We find typical line luminosities of , and an average line width of ∼385 . The [C ii]-to-far-infrared luminosity ratios ([C ii]/FIR) in our sources span one order of magnitude, highlighting a variety of conditions in the star-forming medium. Four quasar host galaxies are clearly resolved in their [C ii] emission on a few kpc scales. Basic estimates of the dynamical masses of the host galaxies give masses between 2 × 10 10 and 2 × 10 11 , i.e., more than an order of magnitude below what is expected from local scaling relations, given the available limits on the masses of the central black holes ( , assuming Eddington-limited accretion). In stacked ALMA [C ii] spectra of individual sources in our sample, we find no evidence of a deviation from a single Gaussian profile. The quasar luminosity does not strongly correlate with either the [C ii] luminosity or equivalent width. This survey (with typical on-source integration times of 8 minutes) showcases the unparalleled sensitivity of ALMA at millimeter wavelengths, and offers a unique reference sample for the study of the first massive galaxies in the universe.

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.
