Star-forming galaxies (SFGs) with stellar masses below $10^{10},M_odot$ make up the bulk of the galaxy population at $z>2$. The properties of the cold gas in these galaxies can only be probed in very deep ALMA observations or by targeting strongly lensed galaxies. Here we report the results of a pilot survey using the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) of molecular gas in the most strongly magnified galaxies selected as giant arcs in optical data. The selection in rest-frame UV wavelengths ensures that sources are regular star forming galaxies, without a priori indications of intense dusty starburst activity. We conducted Band 4 and Band 7 observations to detect mid-$J$ CO, [C I] and thermal continuum as molecular gas tracers from four strongly lensed systems at $zapprox2-3$: our targets are SGAS J1226651.3+215220 (A and B), SGAS J003341.5+024217 and the Sunburst Arc. The measured molecular mass is then projected onto the source plane with detailed lens models developed from high resolution HST observations. Multiwavelength photometry is then used to obtain the intrinsic stellar mass and star formation rate via SED fitting. In only one of the sources are the three tracers robustly detected, while in the others they are either undetected or detected in continuum only. The implied molecular gass masses range from $4times 10^{9},M_odot$ in the detected source to an upper limit of $lesssim 10^9,M_odot$ in the most magnified source. The inferred gas fraction and gas depletion timescale are found to lie approximately 0.5 to 1.0 dex below the established scaling relations based on previous studies of unlensed massive galaxies. Our results indicate that the cold gas content of intermediate to low mass galaxies should not be extrapolated from the trends seen in more massive high-$z$ galaxies. (Abridged abstract)
We study the molecular gas content of 24 star-forming galaxies at $z=3-4$, with a median stellar mass of $10^{9.1}$ M$_{odot}$, from the MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) Survey. Selected by their Lyman-alpha-emission and H-band magnitude, the gala
We use deep far-infrared data from the PEP/GOODS-Herschel surveys and rest frame ultraviolet photometry to study the evolution of the molecular gas mass function of normal star forming galaxies. Computing the molecular gas mass, M(mol), by scaling st
Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), we conducted a survey of CO J=1-0 and J=2-1 line emission towards strongly lensed high-redshift dusty star forming galaxies (DSFGs) previously discovered with the South Pole Telescope (SPT). Our sam
We report a Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) search for HI 21cm emission from a large sample of star-forming galaxies at $z approx 1.18 - 1.34$, lying in sub-fields of the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. The search was carried out by co-adding (stacking
We present the Evolution of molecular Gas in Normal Galaxies (EGNoG) survey, an observational study of molecular gas in 31 star-forming galaxies from z=0.05 to z=0.5, with stellar masses of (4-30)x10^10 M_Sun and star formation rates of 4-100 M_Sun y
