Abstract
We report Northern Extended Millimeter Array CO(J = 3 − 2) observations of the dusty star-forming galaxy ACT-S J020941+001557 at z = 2.5528, which was detected as an unresolved source in the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) equatorial survey. Our spatially resolved spectral line data support the derivation of a gravitational lens model from 37 independent velocity channel maps using a pixel-based algorithm, from which we infer a velocity-dependent magnification factor μ ≈ 7─22 with a luminosity-weighted mean ≤ft< μ \right> ≈ 13. The resulting source-plane reconstruction is consistent with a rotating disk, although other scenarios cannot be ruled out by our data. After correction for lensing, we derive a line luminosity {L}CO(3-2)}{\prime }=(5.53+/- 0.69)× {10}10 {{K}} {km} {{{s}}}-1 {pc}}2, a cold gas mass {M}gas}=(3.86+/- 0.33)× {10}10 {M}ȯ , a dynamical mass {M}dyn} {\sin }2 i={3.9}-1.5+1.8× {10}10 {M}ȯ , and a gas mass fraction {f}gas} {\csc }2 i={1.0}-0.4+0.8. The line brightness temperature ratio of r 3,1 ≈ 1.6 relative to a Green Bank Telescope CO(J = 1 − 0) detection may be elevated by a combination of external heating of molecular clouds, differential lensing, and/or pointing errors.
