background • Star formation, AGN activity and the ISM • Quasi-stellar objects (QSO) : are the most energetic AGN and are thought to be an important phase of massive galaxy evolution. • photodissociation region (PDR)
PDR • PDR is created by UV radiation • (Kaufman et al. 1999) established the PDR model • [CII] 158μm, [OI] 63μm, [CO(1-0)] 115.271GHz(2.6mm) and so on can be the ISM diagnostics
task • measure CO luminosity from the LMT/RSR spectra • use CLOUDY or other PDR modeling (PDR toolbox) to get ISM condition constraints from available lines: CO, CII, OI
Samples 5/9 have all 3 emission lines and FIR luminosity (W1005+43, W1355+20, W1422+29, W1634+20, W1659+18) (Zhao, Yan, & Tsai 2016)
Fit CO emission line W0752+19 & W0946+13 did not find the CO(1-0)
Convert spectra to Luminosity • integrate under the Gaussian to get line intensity I in unit of K km s^-1 • use the special factor 7 for LMT early work to get S_coδνin unit of Jy km s^-1 • convert S_coδνto Luminosity (Kirkpatrick, et al. 2014) and (Carilli & Walter 2013)
