The [CII]-to-molecular gas conversion factor evolves from over 10,000 to about 10 solar masses per solar luminosity as galaxies enrich from very low metallicity at high redshift to higher values later, making a redshift-independent factor unusable.

Main-sequence galaxies at z~1.1–1.6 host extended CO, [C I], and dust disks with roughly constant gas fraction and depletion time out to 2 Re, supporting steady accretion rather than mergers.
ALMA CO observations of 37 z~3 quasars show that larger molecular gas masses correspond to dimmer central Lyα nebulae, suggesting host gas and dust regulate Lyα escape, with low-Eddington quasars retaining more gas.
MIR diagnostics and X-ray stacking on 1104 X-ray-undetected AGNs in COSMOS identify 23 CT-AGN candidates at 2.1 percent of the sample, far below the ~30 percent expected from CXB synthesis models.
