What is Molecular Gas in GN20 Proto-Cluster about?
The paper presents observations of the molecular gas in the GN20 proto-cluster of galaxies at redshift z = 4.05 using the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA). Three galaxies were detected in CO 2–1 emission, with gas masses between 10^10 and 10^11 solar masses, and evidence suggests GN20 may be a massive, gas-rich disk experiencing gravitational disturbance. The study provides insights into the formation of massive galaxies through luminous, gas-rich starbursts within 1.6 billion years of the big bang.
