Notes. Column 1: name of the object. Column 2: stellar mass determined from synthetic template fitting of the U- to IRAC 4.5 μm-band photometry (without 3.6 μm-band), assuming a constant SFH and a Chabrier (2003) IMF. The typical uncertainties are 0.2 dex. For GN20.2b, the stellar mass is estimated by taking an average of the results from SED fitting with and without 4.5 μm-band. Column 3: specific star formation rate. sSFR = SFR/M, with SFR derived from the bolometric IR luminosity. Column 4: for GN20, the CO(1–0) luminosity is measured by Carilli et al. (2010). For GN20.2a and GN20.2b, we convert the CO(2–1) luminosity measured by Carilli et al. (2011) to CO(1–0) luminosities by assuming r21 = 0.84 (Bothwell et al. 2013). Column 5: SFE = in units of l0 = L (K km s-1 pc2)-1. Column 6: metallicity estimated based on the FMR (values outside the parenthesis) and mass-metallicity (values in the parenthesis) relation applied to the present-day elliptical galaxies. We have corrected for the metallicity scale from KD02 to PP04 for the FMR by adopting the prescriptions in Kewley & Ellison (2008). Column 7: gas-to-dust ratio derived from the relation of Magdis et al. (2012a) which relates the δGDR to metallicity. The values in the parenthesis are inferred assuming a metallicity estimated from the mass-metallicity relation of present-day elliptical galaxies, while the values outside the parenthesis are from the FMR relation. Column 8: CO-to-H2 conversion factor in units of M (K km s-1 pc2)-1, inferred from , with Mgas = Mdust × δGDR. Column 9: dynamical masses within the half-light radius. For GN20.2b, we do not derive an estimate of dynamical mass, as the dynamical mass estimated in this way is found to be smaller than stellar mass. Column 10: CO-to-H2 conversion factor estimated based on the dynamical method. Column 11: the average of CO-to-H2 conversion factor derived from gas-to-dust ratio method and dynamical modeling. Column 12: molecular gas mass measured from and αCO. Column 13: molecular gas fraction: fgas = Mgas/ (Mgas + M). The uncertainties are mainly dominated by the uncertainties in molecular gas estimates. Column 14: IR-radio correlation parameter.
