CO Emission, Molecular Gas, and Metallicity in Main-sequence Star-forming Galaxies at z ∼ 2.3
We present observations of CO(3−2) in 13 main-sequence z = 2.0–2.5 star-forming galaxies at $\mathrm{log}({M}_{* }/{M}_{\odot })=10.2\mbox{--}10.6$ that span a wide range in metallicity (O/H) based on rest-optical spectroscopy. We find that ${L}_{\mathrm{CO}(3-2)}^{{\prime} }$ /SFR decreases with de...
