We do not detect the dust continuum at 866 mu m, ruling out the possibility that S5-z17-1 is a low-z dusty starburst with a star formation rate of greater than or similar to 30 M-circle dot yr(-1). We detect a 5.1s line feature at 338.726 +/- 0.007 GHz exactly coinciding with the JWST source position, with a 2% likelihood of the signal being spurious. The most likely line identification would be [O III]52 mu m at z = 16.01 or [C II]158 mu m at z = 4.61, whose line luminosities do not violate the nondetection of the dust continuum in both cases. Together with three other z greater than or similar to 11-13 candidate galaxies recently observed with ALMA, we conduct a joint ALMA and JWST spectral energy distribution (SED) analysis and find that the high-z solution at z similar to 11-17 is favored in every candidate as a very blue (UV continuum slope of similar or equal to-2.3) and luminous (M-UV similar or equal to [ - 24:-21]) system. Still, we find in several candidates that reasonable SED fits (Delta chi(2) less than or similar to 4) are reproduced by type II quasar and/or quiescent galaxy templates with strong emission lines at z similar to 3-5, where such populations predicted from their luminosity functions and EW([O iii]+H beta) distributions are abundant in survey volumes used for the identification of the z similar to 11-17 candidates. While these recent ALMA observation results have strengthened the likelihood of the high-z solutions, lower-z possibilities are not completely ruled out in several of the z similar to 11-17 candidates, indicating the need to consider the relative surface densities of the lower-z contaminants in the ultra-high-z galaxy search.STELLAR POPULATION SYNTHESIS, DUST-OBSCURED GALAXIES, STAR-FORMING GALAXY, ULTRAVIOLET LUMINOSITY FUNCTIONS, SPECTRAL ENERGY-DISTRIBUTIONS, MASSIVE QUIESCENT GALAXIES, ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI, HUBBLE-SPACE-TELESCOPE, SPECTROSCOPIC CONFIRMATION, PHYSICAL-PROPERTIESALMA FIR View of Ultra-high-redshift Galaxy Candidates at z ∼ 11-17: Blue Monsters or Low-z Red Interlopers?Article
