At the achieved resolution of $\\sim$$1^{\\prime\\prime}.2\\times0^{\\prime\\prime}.9$ ($8\\times6$~kpc$^2$), the CO(7-6) emission is largely unresolved (with a deconvolved size of $1^{\\prime\\prime}.1(\\pm0^{\\prime\\prime}.5) \\times 0^{\\prime\\prime}.9(\\pm0^{\\prime\\prime}.8)$), and the continuum emission is totally unresolved. The CO(7-6) line emission has an integrated flux of $0.86\\pm0.08$~Jy km/s, and a line width of $343\\pm40$ km/s. The continuum emission has a flux density of 0.51 mJy. By fitting the observed far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distribution of LESS 073 with a single-temperature modified blackbody function, we obtained a dust temperature $T_{\\rm dust}=57.6\\pm3.5$ K, 60-to-100 $\\mu$m flux density ratio $f_{60}/f_{100}=0.86\\pm0.08$, and total infrared luminosity $L_{\\rm IR}=(5.8\\pm0.9) \\times 10^{12}~L_\\odot$. The SED-fit-based $f_{60}/f_{100}$ is consistent with those estimated from various line ratios as advocated by our earlier work, indicating that those proposed line-ratio-based method can be used to practically derive $f_{60}/f_{100}$ for high-$z$ sources. The total molecular gas mass of LESS 073 is $(3.3\\pm1.7) \\times10^{10}~M_\\odot$, and the inferred gas depletion time is about 43 Myr.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-12T06:21:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "line emission", "alma imaging", "atacama large millimeter/submillimeter array", "inferred gas depletion time", "young submillimeter galaxy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
