We report the detection of molecular CO(1-0) gas in the high-z radio galaxy MRC 0152-209 (z = 1.92) with the Australia Telescope Compact Array Broadband Backend (ATCA/CABB). This is the third known detection of CO(1-0) in a high-z radio galaxy to date. CO(1-0) is the most robust tracer of the overall molecular gas content (including the wide-spread, low-density and subthermally excited component), hence observations of CO(1-0) are crucial for studying galaxy evolution in the Early Universe. We derive L(CO) = (6.6 +- 2.0) x 10^10 K km/s pc^2 for MRC 0152-209, which is comparable to that derived from CO(1-0) observations of several high-z submillimetre and starforming BzK galaxies. The CO(1-0) traces a total molecular hydrogen mass of M(H2) = 5 x 10^10 (alpha_x/0.8) Msun. MRC 0152-209 is an infra-red bright radio galaxy, in which a large reservoir of cold molecular gas has not (yet) been depleted by star formation or radio source feedback. Its compact radio source is reliably detected at 40 GHz and has a steep spectral index of alpha = -1.3 between 1.4 and 40 GHz (4-115 GHz in the galaxys rest-frame). MRC 0152-209 is part of an ongoing systematic ATCA/CABB survey of CO(1-0) in high-z radio galaxies between 1.7 < z < 3.
The high-redshift radio galaxy MRC 1138-262 (`Spiderweb Galaxy; z = 2.16), is one of the most massive systems in the early Universe and surrounded by a dense `web of proto-cluster galaxies. Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we detected CO(
We report the detection of CO(1-0) emission in the strongly lensed high-redshift quasars IRAS F10214+4724 (z=2.286), the Cloverleaf (z=2.558), RX J0911+0551 (z=2.796), SMM J04135+10277 (z=2.846), and MG 0751+2716 (z=3.200), using the Expanded Very La
We present a CO(1-0) survey for cold molecular gas in a representative sample of 13 high-z radio galaxies (HzRGs) at 1.4<z<2.8, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We detect CO(1-0) emission associated with five sources: MRC 0114-211, MRC 01
We report the results of a pilot study with the EVLA of 12CO J=1-0 emission from four SMGs at z=2.2-2.5, each with an existing detection of CO J=3-2. Using the EVLAs most compact configuration we detect strong, broad J=1-0 line emission from all of o
We report the detection of CO(1-0) emission toward the lensed L*_UV Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) MS1512-cB58 (z=2.73) and the Cosmic Eye (z=3.07), using the Expanded Very Large Array. The strength of the CO line emission reveals molecular gas reservoi
