Suppose you want to observe the molecular gas in a galaxy with redshift z using the rotational transition of CO J=4-3. What frequency would you observe this transition at? (Hint: the CO J=1-0 emits a photon at 115.27 GHz, and higher order transitions emit photons with frequencies in multiples of J, e.g., use the knowledge you gained from the problem above). Express your answer as an integer. Values: z = 1.3
