CO(1-0) detection of molecular gas in the massive Spiderweb Galaxy (z = 2)

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(1–0) emission from cold molecular gas – the raw i...
