We review recent observations of molecular gas in nearby galaxies and their implications for the star formation law on large (>1 kpc) scales. High-resolution data provided by millimetre interferometers are now adding to the basic…
Observations of the molecular gas phase in quasar host galaxies provide fundamental constraints on galaxy evolution at the highest redshifts. Molecular gas is the material out of which stars form; it can be traced by spectral line emission…
We present a study of molecular gas, traced via CO (3-2) from ALMA data, of four z< 0.2, `radio quiet', type 2 quasars (log [L(bol)/(erg/s)] = 45.3 - 46.2; log [L(1.4 GHz)/(W/Hz)] = 23.7 - 24.3). Targets were selected to have extended radio…
The relative distribution of molecular gas and star formation in galaxies gives insight into the physical processes and timescales of the cycle between gas and stars. In this work, we track the relative spatial configuration of CO and…
The rotation curve for the IV galactic quadrant, within the solar circle, is derived from the Columbia University - U. de Chile CO(J=1-0) survey of molecular gas. A new sampling, four times denser in longitude than in our previous analysis,…
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of a radio-loud and millimeter-bright galaxy at z=2.6. Gravitational lensing by a foreground galaxy at z~0.2 provides access to physical scales of approximately 360 pc,…
We present CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) observations of the two nearly face-on galaxies NGC 628 and NGC 3938, in particular cuts along the major and minor axis. The contribution of the beam-smeared in-plane velocity gradients to the observed…

ALMA imaging of the cold molecular medium in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 1808 is presented. The observations reveal the distribution of molecular gas, traced by $^{12}$CO (1-0) and $^{12}$CO (3-2), and continuum (93 and 350 GHz) across…
This study aims to investigate the molecular gas content of strongly magnified low-mass star-forming galaxies around the cosmic noon period ($z\sim2$) through observations of CO emission lines and dust continuum emission, both of which…
We conduct a study of the gas kinematics of two quasar host galaxies at $z\gtrsim6$ traced by the [CII] emission line using ALMA. By combining deep observations at both low and high resolution, we recover the diffuse emission, resolve its…
