Abstract (from CDS):

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 <µ>~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 LCO(3–2)^′^=(5.53±0.69)×1010Kkms–1pc2, a cold gas mass Mgas=(3.86±0.33)×1010M, a dynamical mass Mdynsin2i=3.9–1.5+1.8×1010M, and a gas mass fraction fgascsc2i=1.0–0.4+0.8. The line brightness temperature ratio of r3,1 ≃ 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.
