@conference{10902/35327, year = {2024}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/35327}, abstract = {It is broadly accepted that CO is a reliable tracer of H2 in massive IR (LIR ≳ 109 L⊙) galaxies, and that there are clear correlations between LIR and L'CO that are qualitatively independent of environment and even redshift. We present two tales on the search for ¹²CO emission from dusty star-forming galaxies in both field (Lockman Hole, z < 0.1) and cluster (Zw Cl0024.1+1652, z ∼ 0.4) environments, according to the capabilities of the EMIR receiver at the IRAM-30m telescope. The observed galaxies are part of two follow-up programs in the millimetre regime of the spectroscopic Lockman-SpReSO and GLACE surveys in the optical (OSIRIS / 10.4m GTC). From these data we derived LIR and L’CO estimations and put them in the framework of the historic records according to the literature for each environmental case. We provide insights about some practical limits of the current facilities (IRAM observatories, ALMA, LMT) to get reliable estimations for IR at low and intermediate redshifts. Our results suggest that the amount of cold gas and the star formation efficiency increase with the cluster-centric distance, hence pointing to an environmental dependency.}, publisher = {EDP Sciences; SpringerOpen; Società Italiana di Fisica}, publisher = {EPJ Web of Conferences, 2024, 293, 47}, title = {IRAM 30-meter millimeter follow-up of deep OSIRIS-GTC optical surveys}, author = {Sánchez-Portal, M. and Bongiovanni, A. and Cepa, J. and González Serrano, José Ignacio and González, J.J. and González-Otero, M. and Padilla-Torres, C.P. and Pérez García, A.M. and Pintos-Castro, I. and Pérez-Martínez, R.M. and Cruz-González, I. and Negrete, A. and Beyoro-Amado, Z. and Povic, M.}, }
