dc.description.abstractWe 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 mu approximate to 7-22 with a luminosity-weighted mean <mu > approximate to 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) x 10(10) K km s(-1) pc(2), a cold gas mass M-gas = (3.86 +/- 0.33) x 10(10) M-circle dot, a dynamical mass M-dyn sin(2) i = 3.9(-1.5)(+1.8) x 10(10) M-circle dot, and a gas mass fraction f(gas) csc(2) i = 1.0(-0.4)(+0.8). The line brightness temperature ratio of r(3,1) approximate to 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.
