A new interpretation for the $D^*_{s2}(2573)$ and the prediction of novel exotic charmed mesons

Understand

In this manuscript we study the vector - vector interaction within the hidden gauge formalism in a coupled channel unitary approach.

• In the sector $C=1,S=1,J=2$ we get a pole in the T-matrix around $2572$ MeV that we identify with the $D^*_{s2}(2573)$, coupling strongly to the $D^*K^*$($D^*_s\phi$($\omega$)) channels.
• In addition we obtain resonances in other exotic sectors which have not been studied before such as $C=1,S=-1$, $C=2,S=0$ and $C=2,S=1$.
• This 'flavor-exotic' states are interpreted as $D^*\bar{K^*}$, $D^*D^*$ and $D^*_sD^*$ molecular states but have not been observed yet.
