Abstract (from CDS):
In this paper we present our imaging observations on the CO (7-6) line and its underlying continuum emission of the young submillimeter galaxy LESS 073 at redshift 4.755, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. At the achieved resolution of ∼1′′ / . 2×0′′ / . 9 (8 x 6 kpc2), the CO (7-6) emission is largely unresolved (with a deconvolved size of 1′′ / . 1(±0′′ / . 5)×0′′ / . 9(±0′′ / . 8)), and the continuum emission is totally unresolved. The CO (7-6) line emission has an integrated flux of 0.86 ± 0.08 Jy km s–1, and a line width of 343 ± 40 km s–1. The continuum emission has a flux density of 0.51 mJy. By fitting the observed far-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) of LESS 073 with a single-temperature modified blackbody function, we obtained a dust temperature Tdust=57.6±3.5 K, 60-100 µm flux density ratio f60/f100=0.86±0.08, and total infrared luminosity LIR=(5.8±0.9)×1012L☉. The SED-fit-based f60/f100 is consistent with those estimated from various line ratios as advocated by our earlier work, indicating that the proposed line-ratio-based method can be used to practically derive f60/f100 for high-z sources. The total molecular gas mass of LESS 073 is (3.3±1.7)×1010M☉, and the inferred gas depletion time is about 43 Myr.
