Interferometric 890 micron Images of High Redshift Submillimeter Galaxies

Abstract

We present high resolution 890 micron images of two 20 mJy submillimeter galaxies, SMMJ123711+622212 and MIPS~J142824.0+352619, obtained using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). Using submillimeter interferometric observations with an angular resolution of 2.5", the coordinates of these high redshift sources are determined with an accuracy of 0.2". The new SMA data on SMMJ123711+622212 reveal an unresolved submm source offset to the east by 0.8" from an optical galaxy found in deep HST images, suggesting either a large galaxy with a dusty central region, or an interacting galaxy system. The SMA image of hyper-luminous (LFIR = 3.2 x 10^{13} Lsun) source MIPS~J142824.0+352619 provides a firm upper limit to the source size of < 1.2. This constraint provides evidence that the foreground lens is only weakly affecting the observed high FIR luminosity.
