The ALPINE-ALMA [C II] survey: Molecular gas budget in the early Universe as traced by [C II]
The molecular gas content of normal galaxies at z > 4 is poorly constrained because the commonly used molecular gas tracers become hard to detect at these high redshifts. We use the [C II] 158 μ m luminosity, which was recently proposed as a molecular gas tracer, to estimate the …
