From 87 serendipitous CO detections in ALMA calibrator fields, the authors measure the CO luminosity function and molecular gas density from z=0 to 6, finding a peak near z=1.5 followed by a decline of about one dex.

ALMACAL XIII. Evolution of the CO luminosity function and the molecular gas mass density out to $z$ ~ 6
From 87 serendipitous CO detections in ALMA calibrator fields, the authors measure the CO luminosity function and molecular gas density from z=0 to 6, finding a peak near z=1.5 followed by a decline of about one dex.
