High Dense Gas Fraction in a Gas-rich Star-forming Galaxy at z = 1.2
We report observations of dense molecular gas in the star-forming galaxy EGS 13004291 (z = 1.197) using the Plateau de Bure Interferometer. We tentatively detect HCN and HNC J=2\to 1 emission when stacked together at 4σ significance, yielding line luminosities of {L}{HCN(J=2\to 1)}\prime =(9+/- 3)× {10}9 K km s‑1 pc2 and {L}{HNC(J=2\to 1)}\prime =
