We report the results of a search for serendipitous [C II] 157.74 μm
emitters at z ≃ 4.4-4.7 using the Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The search exploits the AS2UDS
continuum survey, which covers ˜50 arcmin2 of the sky
toward 695 luminous (S 870 ≳ 1 mJy) submillimeter
galaxies (SMGs), selected from the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey 0.96
deg2 Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) field. We detect 10 candidate
line emitters, with an expected false detection rate of 10%. All of
these line emitters correspond to 870 μm continuum-detected sources
in AS2UDS. The emission lines in two emitters appear to be high-J CO,
but the remainder have multi-wavelength properties consistent with [C
II] from z ≃ 4.5 galaxies. Using our sample, we place a lower limit
of > 5× {10}-6 {Mpc}}-3 on the space
density of luminous (L IR ≃ 1013
{L}⊙ ) SMGs at z = 4.40-4.66, suggesting ≥slant
7% of SMGs with {S}870μ {{m}}≳ 1 mJy lie at 4 <z
<5. From stacking the high-resolution (˜0.″15 full-width
half maximum) ALMA 870 μm imaging, we show that the [C II] line
emission is more extended than the continuum dust emission, with an
average effective radius for the [C II] of
{r}{{e}}={1.7}-0.2+0.1 kpc, compared to
r e = 1.0 ± 0.1 kpc for the continuum (rest-frame 160
μm). By fitting the far-infrared photometry for these galaxies from
100 to 870 μm, we show that SMGs at z ˜ 4.5 have a median dust
temperature of T d = 55 ± 4 K. This is systematically
warmer than 870 μm selected SMGs at z ≃ 2, which typically have
temperatures around 35 K. These z ≃ 4.5 SMGs display a steeper
trend in the luminosity-temperature plane than z ≤ 2 SMGs. We discuss
the implications of this result in terms of the selection biases of
high-redshift starbursts in far-infrared/submillimeter surveys.
