Scientific paper

Following the paper by Kawabe et al. (1992) the results of aperture synthesis observations of CO(J = 3-2) emission in IRAS F10214 + 4724, with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA), are reported. CO(J = 3-2) emission is detected only at the blueshifted half of the CO(J = 3-2) velocity range reported in previous single-dish observations; the redshifted half is not detected in our observations. The detected CO(J = 3-2) emission is located at a VLA and optical position and shows a compact shape. This component contains (3-15) x 10 exp 11/sq h solar masses of molecular gas and has a beam deconvolved size 12/h kpc in diameter. The molecular gas surface density is as high as that in infrared luminous galaxies. The nondetected component must have brightness temperatures lower than the sensitivity and is probably extended or composed of a number of subcomponents. The molecular gas distribution suggests that IRAS F10214 + 4724 is an interacting or merging system.
