CO(5–4), CO(7–6), and [CI](3PP1) spectra of the SE and NW components of BR1202-0725. Histograms are spectra derived from fitting the interferometer visibilities by assuming elliptical Gaussian sources with sizes (FWHM) of 1.0″ × 0.6″ (SE) and 0.8″ × 0.6″(NW). Solid curves show Gaussian spectral-line fits to the profiles, and dashed horizontal lines show continuum levels derived from these Gaussian spectral fits. The dotted histograms show alternative model-fit spectra for assumed point sources. The difference between model-point-source and model-extended-source spectra is more striking in CO(5–4) than in CO(7–6) because the larger beam in CO(7–6) more easily includes all the flux in each of the SE and NW sources. For the NW galaxy, two Gaussian velocity components are fit to the CO(5–4) and CO(7–6) lines, with a third Gaussian added to the CO(7–6) fit to include the CI line. Channel widths are 89 km s-1 and 91 km s-1 for CO(5–4) and (7–6) respectively, and velocity offsets (km s-1) are relative to CO(5–4) and (7–6) redshifted to z = 4.6952.
