Abstract



Dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) significantly contribute to the stellar buildup in galaxies during "cosmic noon," the peak epoch of cosmic star formation. Major mergers and gas accretion are often invoked to explain DSFGs' prodigious star formation rates (SFRs) and large stellar masses. We conducted a spatially resolved morphological analysis of the rest-frame ultraviolet/near-infrared (similar to 0.25-1.3 mu m) emission in three DSFGs at z similar or equal to 2.5. Initially discovered as carbon monoxide (CO) emitters by NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array (NOEMA) observations of a bright (S-350 mu m = 111 +/- 10 mJy) Herschel source, we observed them with the James Webb Space Telescope/NIRCam as part of the PEARLS program. The NIRCam data reveal the galaxies' stellar populations and dust distributions on scales of 250 pc. Spatial variations in stellar mass, SFR, and dust extinction are determined in resolved maps obtained through pixel-based spectral energy distribution fitting. The CO emitters are massive (M-star similar or equal to (3 - 30)x10(10) M-circle dot), dusty starburst galaxies with SFRs ranging from 340 to 2500 M-circle dot yr(-1), positioning them among the most active star-forming galaxies at 2 < z < 3. Notably, they belong to the similar to 1.5% of the entire JWST population with extremely red colors. Their morphologies are disk like (S & eacute;rsic index n similar or equal to 1), with effective radii of 2.0-4.4 kpc, and exhibit substructures such as clumps and spiral arms. The galaxies have dust extinctions up to A(V) = 5-7 mag extending over several kiloparsecs with asymmetric distributions that include off-center regions resembling bent spiral arms and clumps. The near-infrared dust-attenuation curve in these sources deviates from standard laws, possibly implying different dust-star geometries or dust grain properties than commonly assumed in starburst galaxies. The proximity (< 5 '') of galaxies with consistent redshifts, strong color gradients, an overall disturbed appearance, asymmetric dust obscuration, and widespread star formation collectively favor interactions (minor mergers and flybys) as the mechanism driving the CO galaxies' exceptional SFRs. The galaxies' large masses and rich environment hint at membership in two proto-structures, as initially inferred from their association with a Planck-selected high-z source.
