Physical Characterization of Serendipitously Uncovered Millimeter-wave Line-emitting Galaxies at z\textasciitilde2.5 behind the Local Luminous Infrared Galaxy VV114 [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We present a detailed investigation of millimeter-wave line emitters ALMA J010748.3-173028 (ALMA-J0107a) and ALMA J010747.0-173010 (ALMA-J0107b), which were serendipitously uncovered in the background of the nearby galaxy VV114 with spectral scan observations at \${\textbackslash}lambda\$ = 2 - 3 mm. Via Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) detection of CO(4-3), CO(3-2), and [CI](1-0) lines for both sources, their spectroscopic redshifts are unambiguously determined to be \$z= 2.4666{\textbackslash}pm0.0002\$ and \$z=2.3100{\textbackslash}pm0.0002\$, respectively. We obtain the apparent molecular gas masses \$M_\{{\textbackslash}rm gas\}\$ of these two line emitters from [CI] line fluxes as \$(11.2 {\textbackslash}pm 3.1) {\textbackslash}times 10{\textasciicircum}\{10\} M_{\textbackslash}odot\$ and \$(4.2 {\textbackslash}pm 1.2) {\textbackslash}times 10{\textasciicircum}\{10\} M_{\textbackslash}odot\$, respectively. The observed CO(4-3) velocity field of ALMA-J0107a exhibits a clear velocity gradient across the CO disk, and we find that ALMA-J0107a is characterized by an inclined rotating disk with a significant turbulence, that is, a deprojected maximum rotation velocity to velocity dispersion ratio \$v_\{{\textbackslash}rm max\}/{\textbackslash}sigma_\{v\}\$ of \$1.3 {\textbackslash}pm 0.3\$. We find that the dynamical mass of ALMA-J0107a within the CO-emitting disk computed from the derived kinetic parameters, \$(1.1 {\textbackslash}pm 0.2) {\textbackslash}times 10{\textasciicircum}\{10\}{\textbackslash} M_{\textbackslash}odot\$, is an order of magnitude smaller than the molecular gas mass derived from dust continuum emission, \$(3.2{\textbackslash}pm1.6){\textbackslash}times10{\textasciicircum}\{11\}{\textbackslash} M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\$. We suggest this source is magnified by a gravitational lens with a magnification of \${\textbackslash}mu {\textbackslash}gtrsim10\$, which is consistent with the measured offset from the empirical correlation between CO-line luminosity and width.
