ISM properties of a Massive Dusty Star-Forming Galaxy discovered at z \textasciitilde 7 [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We report the discovery and constrain the physical conditions of the interstellar medium of the highest-redshift millimeter-selected dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG) to date, SPT-S J031132-5823.4 (hereafter SPT0311-58), at \$z=6.900 +/- 0.002\$. SPT0311-58 was discovered via its 1.4mm thermal dust continuum emission in the South Pole Telescope (SPT)-SZ survey. The spectroscopic redshift was determined through an ALMA 3mm frequency scan that detected CO(6-5), CO(7-6) and [CI](2-1), and subsequently confirmed by detections of CO(3-2) with ATCA and [CII] with APEX. We constrain the properties of the ISM in SPT0311-58 with a radiative transfer analysis of the dust continuum photometry and the CO and [CI] line emission. This allows us to determine the gas content without ad hoc assumptions about gas mass scaling factors. SPT0311-58 is extremely massive, with an intrinsic gas mass of \$M_\{{\textbackslash}rm gas\} = 3.3 {\textbackslash}pm 1.9 {\textbackslash}times10{\textasciicircum}\{11\}{\textbackslash},M_\{{\textbackslash}odot\}\$. Its large mass and intense star formation is very rare for a source well into the Epoch of Reionization.
