Diverse Molecular Gas Excitations in Quasar Host Galaxies at z ∼ 6

We present observations using the Northern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA) of CO and H _2 O emission lines and the underlying dust continuum in two quasars at z ∼ 6, i.e., P215−16 at z = 5.78 and J1429+5447 at z = 6.18. Notably, among all published CO spectral line energy distributions (SLEDs) of...
