Abstract (from CDS):

We present 12CO(2-1) observations of the submillimetre galaxy ALESS65.1 performed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 42.3 GHz. A previous Atacama Large Millimeter Array study of submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South detected [Cii] 157.74 µm emission from this galaxy at a redshift of z = 4.44. No 12CO(2-1) emission was detected but we derive a firm upper limit to the cold gas mass in ALESS65.1 of M_gas < 1.7 ×10^10 M_☉. The estimated gas depletion time-scale is <50 Myr, which is similar to other high-redshift SMGs, and consistent with z > 4 SMGs being the likely progenitors of massive red-and-dead galaxies at z > 2. The ratio of the [Cii], 12CO and far-infrared luminosities implies a strong far-ultraviolet field of G0 ≳ 103, as seen in Galactic star-forming regions or local ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). The observed L_[C II]/L_FIR = 2.3 ×10^-3 is high compared to local ULIRGs and, combined with L_[C II]/L_CO \gtrsim 2700, it is consistent with ALESS65.1 either having an extended (several kpc) [Cii] emitting region or lower than solar metallicity.
