摘要：
CO observations of 0 < z < 4 radio galaxies are presented. The L-CO upper limits for the high-redshift powerful radio galaxies (HzPRGs: z > 1, P-408MHz > 10(27) W Hz(-1)) are consistent with no evolution in molecular gas (H-2) mass with redshift and/or radio power. Of the los-redshift powerful radio galaxies (LzPRGs: z < 0.2, P-408MHz > 10(23.5) W Hz(-1)) observed, only one FR II galaxy has been detected in CO, whereas similar to 50% of the radio-compact (FC) and FR I galaxies have been detected. The CO and imaging data to date imply that either FR II galaxies result from mergers of gas-poor galaxies relative to FC/FR I galaxies, or that some FC/FR 1 galaxies evolve into FR II galaxies. In either scenario, the radio activity in powerful radio galaxies is most likely triggered bg a merger event and H-2 may be the fuel for the active galactic nucleus (AGN) in the early stages of the merger.
