Milky Way-like Gas Excitation in an Ultrabright Submillimeter Galaxy at z = 1.6
Based on observations with the IRAM 30 m and Yebes 40 m telescopes, we report evidence of the detection of Milky Way-like, low-excitation molecular gas, up to the transition CO(J = 5-4), in a distant, dusty star-forming galaxy at z CO = 1.60454. WISE J122651.0+214958.8 (alias SDSS J1226, the Cosmic Seahorse), is strongly lensed by a foreground
