| Popis: | We present a multi-wavelength analysis using SMA, JCMT, NOEMA, JWST, HST, and SST of two dusty strongly star-forming galaxies, 850.1 and 850.2, seen through the massive cluster lens A1489. These SMA-located sources both lie at z=4.26 and have bright dust continuum emission, but 850.2 is a UV-detected Lyman-break galaxy, while 850.1 is undetected at <2um, even with deep JWST/NIRCam observations. We investigate their stellar, ISM, and dynamical properties, including a pixel-level SED analysis to derive sub-kpc-resolution stellar-mass and Av maps. We find that 850.1 is one of the most massive and highly obscured, Av~5, galaxies known at z>4 with M*~10^11.8 Mo (likely forming at z>6), and 850.2 is one of the least massive and least obscured, Av~1, members of the z>4 dusty star-forming population. The diversity of these two dust-mass-selected galaxies illustrates the incompleteness of galaxy surveys at z>3-4 based on imaging at <2um, the longest wavelengths feasible from HST or the ground. The resolved mass map of 850.1 shows a compact stellar mass distribution, Re(mass)~1kpc, but its expected evolution to z~1.5 and then z~0 matches both the properties of massive, quiescent galaxies at z~1.5 and ultra-massive early-type galaxies at z~0. We suggest that 850.1 is the central galaxy of a group in which 850.2 is a satellite that will likely merge in the near future. The stellar morphology of 850.1 shows arms and a linear bar feature which we link to the active dynamical environment it resides within. Comment: Submitted to ApJ, comments welcome! |
