Scientific paper

Results are presented for a high-sensitivity search for radio recombination lines at 430 and 1415 MHz to low flux levels toward 21 galaxies and quasars with redshifts ranging from z = 0.002 to z = 3.53. No unambiguous line detections down to a level of 0.001 of the background continuum flux are reported, but upper limits are placed on the line intensities and line-to-continuum ratios. It is found that the H166-alpha line may have been detected with a peak flux of about 4 mJy toward the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4631.
