Scientific paper

We propose to use the millimetre system and new CABB 2GHz backend to start a study of mapping CO in high-redshift radio galaxies. The current proposal focuses on two high-z radio galaxies for which a wealth of optical information is already available (MRC 0943-242 and MRC 2102-242). These two radio galaxies are among the most active and gas-rich systems known in the early Universe and their redshifts (z~2.5-3) correspond to a critical epoch in galaxy formation. Aim of our project is to investigate the assembly of massive, gas-rich systems at these redshifts and study in detail their star formation properties, AGN fueling, cold gas content/kinematics and gaseous environment. Over the next winter semester, observations of these two systems will provide excellent test cases for the performance of the new CABB system - both at 3mm and 7mm - and will provide us with the necessary expertise for a larger project next year.
