Constraining the Excitation of Molecular Gas in Two Quasar-starburst Systems at z ∼ 6

We present NOrthern Extended Millimeter Array observations of CO(8–7), (9–8), and (10–9) lines, as well as the underlying continuum for two far-infrared luminous quasars: SDSS J2054-0005 at z = 6.0389 and SDSS J0129-0035 at z = 5.7788. Both quasars were previously detected in CO (2–1) and (6–5) tran...
