A quasar pair at z=5.7 is confirmed in a galaxy merger via ALMA, setting a lower limit of >1.2% on the pair fraction at 5.5<z<6 and linking it to the PTA gravitational wave background.

An extended Lyα halo is detected around the z=6.64 BAL quasar J0910-0414, extending to 11 pkpc with rotation-like kinematics, lower velocity dispersion than the host core, and contributing 55% of the total Lyα flux due to central absorption.
ALMA survey of CO(7-6) and [C I](2-1) in 18 z~6 quasars yields molecular gas mass estimates from multiple tracers and indicates that PDR models cannot fully account for the observed excitation, pointing to additional heating processes.
ALMA observations and modeling of a z=6.52 lensed quasar indicate AGN dust heating contributes ~13% to sub-mm emission, implying mild overestimation of prior FIR-based star formation rates for high-redshift quasars.
New ALMA [C II] and FIR data on PSO J083+11 at z=6.34 reveal ordered rotation, typical star-forming ratios, and no outflow signatures in either galaxy, interpreted as a pre-AGN-feedback accretion phase.
Advocates for SKA frequency coverage beyond 15 GHz to observe redshifted low-J CO, HCN and similar lines for cold molecular gas studies in high-redshift galaxies.
