Abstract (from CDS):

We report spectroscopic redshift measurements for three bright submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) near the GOODS-N field, each with SCUBA-2 850 µm fluxes >10 mJy, using the Northern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA). Our molecular line-scan observations of these sources, which occupy an ∼7 arcmin2 area outside of the Hubble Space Telescope coverage of the field, reveal that two lie at z ∼ 3.14. In the remaining object, we detect line emission consistent with CO(7-6), [C I], and H2O at z = 4.42. The far-infrared spectral energy distributions of these galaxies, constrained by SCUBA-2, NOEMA, and Herschel/SPIRE, indicate instantaneous star formation rates ∼4000 M☉ yr–1 in the z = 4.42 galaxy and ∼2500 M☉ yr–1 in the two z ∼ 3.14 galaxies. Based on the sources' CO line luminosities, we estimate Mgas ∼ 1011M☉ and find gas depletion timescales of τdepl ∼ 50 Myr, consistent with findings in other high-redshift SMGs. Finally, we show that the two z ∼ 3.14 sources, which alone occupy a volume ∼10 Mpc3, very likely mark the location of a protocluster of bright SMGs and less-dusty optical sources.
