Abstract
We report the discovery of a bright (f(250 {mu}m)>400 mJy), multiply lensed submillimeter galaxy HERMES J105751.1+573027 in Herschel/SPIRE Science Demonstration Phase data from the HerMES project. Interferometric 880 {mu}m Submillimeter Array observations resolve at least four images with a large separation of {approx}9''. A high-resolution adaptive optics K{sub p} image with Keck/NIRC2 clearly shows strong lensing arcs. Follow-up spectroscopy gives a redshift of z = 2.9575, and the lensing model gives a total magnification of {mu} {approx} 11 {+-} 1. The large image separation allows us to study the multi-wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) of the lensed source unobscured by the central lensing mass. The far-IR/millimeter-wave SED is well described by a modified blackbody fit with an unusually warm dust temperature, 88 {+-} 3 K. We derive a lensing-corrected total IR luminosity of (1.43 {+-} 0.09) x 10{sup 13} L{sub sun}, implying a star formation rate of {approx}2500 M{sub sun} yr{sup -1}. However, models primarily developed from brighter galaxies selected at longer wavelengths are a poor fit to the full optical-to-millimeter SED. A number of other strongly lensed systems have already been discovered in early Herschel data, and many more are expected as additional data are collected.
