e report high resolution imaging of the CO (3-2) emission in the luminous infrared source FSC 10214+4724 at z = 2.2853. Maps at resolutions of 2farcs3 × 3farcs0 and 45-90 km s-1 show the CO emission peak coinciding with those of Hα and radio continuum. Two components are identified in the CO emission: an unresolved core and an extended source (~1farcs9 × 4farcs4)—elongated southeast-northwest. The implied size is 9 × 24 kpc for H0 = 75 km s-1 Mpc-1 and q0 = 0.5. The extent of the CO emission is significantly greater than that of either the optical or the …
