These are two strongly lensed galaxies at redshifts z=1.036 and z=1.044. We used observations of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The former gives access to the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass (M*), and the latter to the H2 molecular gas mass (Mmol). HST and ALMA observations have similar angular resolutions of 0.15"-0.2", which with the help of strong gravitational lensing enable us to reach spatial resolutions down to ∼30pc and ∼100pc in these two galaxies, respectively. These resolutions are close to the resolution of observations of nearby galaxies. We study the radial profiles of SFR, M*, and Mmol surface densities of these high-redshift galaxies and compare the corresponding exponential scale lengths with those of local galaxies. We find that the scale lengths in the Cosmic Snake are about 0.5kpc-1.5kpc, and they are 3 to 10 times larger in A521. This is a significant difference knowing that the two galaxies have comparable integrated properties. These high-redshift scale lengths are nevertheless comparable to those of local galaxies, which cover a wide distribution. The particularity of our high-redshift radial profiles is the normalisation of the Mmol surface density profiles (Sigma Mmol), which are offset by up to a factor of 20 with respect to the profiles of z=0 counterparts. The SFR surface density profiles are also offset by the same factor as {SIGMA}Mmol, as expected from the Kennicutt-Schmidt law. Description: The HST images of MACS J1206.2-0847 are part of the Cluster Lensing and Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH)1. The Cosmic Snake was observed in 16 HST bands (4 WFC3/UVIS, 7 ACS, and 5 WFC3/IR).We used the 0:03" version of the maps from the CLASH archive. The exposure time in each HST filter ranges between 2000s and 5000s. The observations of the Cosmic Snake arc were acquired in Cycle 3 (project 2013.1.01330.S). They were performed in the extended C38-5 configuration with a maximum baseline of 1.6km and 38 antennas of the 12m array in band 6 with a total onsource integration time of 52.3min (Dessauges-Zavadsky et al., 2019NatAs...3.1115D 2019NatAs...3.1115D). The targeted CO(4-3) emission line was observed at 226.44GHz, corresponding to a redshift of z=1.036. The observations of the isolated counter-image to the north-east of the Cosmic Snake arc and A521 were obtained in Cycle 4 (project 2016.1.00643.S). The Cosmic Snake was observed with the Plateau de Bure interferometer (PdBI) at 113.23GHz, the redshifted frequency of the CO(2-1) line. The observations were conducted in March 2014 using six antennas in the extended A-configuration for an on-source integration time of 7.6 hours.
