states so that high statistics will be needed to see them as separate resonances or to be able to perform an angular momentum analysis that can distinguish two overlapping states with different angular momentum [@Zhong:2009sk]. It is possible that the four missing states have not yet been observed because of insufficient statistics or that the invariant mass spectra are dominated by the tails of the $D_{s2}^*(2573)$ and $D_{s1}(2536)$ resonances in this mass region.

In this paper we attempted to understand the nature of the $D_{s1}^*(2710)^\pm$ and $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$ states as charm-strange mesons using the relativized quark model and the pseudoscalar emission model for their decays. We considered a number of possibilities; that the $D_{s1}^*(2710)^\pm$ is the $2^3S_1 (c\bar{s})$ state, that it is a linear combination of $2^3S_1$ and $1^3D_1 (c\bar{s})$ and the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$ is its orthogonal partner. We came to the conclusion that they are best described as the $1^3D_1$ and $1^3D_3$ $(c\bar{s})$ states. However, the predicted ratios of partial widths for these states to $D^*K$ and $DK$ final states do not agree with the measured ratios. We suggest that this could be a result of overlapping $D_2$ states which enhances the $D^*K$ final state. A crucial measurement to
