Cold Molecular Gas in Massive, Star-forming Disk Galaxies at z = 1.5

We report the detection of the CO J = 1-0 emission line in three near-infrared selected star-forming galaxies at z {approx} 1.5 with the Very Large Array and the Green Bank Telescope. These observations directly trace the bulk of molecular gas in these galaxies. We find H{sub 2} gas masses of 8.3 {+...
