Detection of a Substantial Molecular Gas Reservoir in a Brightest Cluster Galaxy at z = 1.7
Tracy M. A. Webb et al 2017 ApJL 844 L17
The brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of the high-redshift galaxy cluster SpARCS1049+56 contains more than 100 billion solar masses of molecular gas, the largest gas reservoir ever discovered in a BCG above z > 1.
