The excitation of CO rotational lines is primarily driven by gas density [ 41 , 42 ], but the \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$J_\mathrm {upp}\ge 8$$\end{document} J upp ≥ 8 CO lines are sensitive to non-thermal gas excitation, such as heating by X-rays and cosmic rays or turbulence, which might be significant in intensely star-forming DSFGs.
