/ Abstract

Abstract We present the results of a survey for CO line emission from a sample of nearby QSO hosts taken from the Hamburg/ESO survey (HES) and the Veron-Cetty and Veron quasar catalogue. From a total of 39 observed sources we clearly detected five objects with >10σ signals (HE 0108-4743, HE 0224-2834, J035818.7 − 612407, HE 1029-1831, and HE 2211-3903). Further six sources show marginal detections on the 2σ level.
