Description
The brightest observed emission line in many star-forming galaxies is the $[{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{II}}]$ 158 μm line, making it detectable up to z ∼ 7. In order to better understand and quantify the $[{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{II}}]$ emission as a tracer of star formation, the theoretical ratio between the $[{\rm{N}}\,{\rm{II}}]$ 205 μm emission and the $[{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{II}}]$ 158 μm emission has been employed to empirically determine the fraction of $[{\rm{C}}\,{\rm{II}}]$ emission that originates from the...[Show more]
