Abstract
We systematically investigate the S-wave singly heavy tetraquark systems containing two or three strange quarks, , and , within the constituent quark potential model. We solve the four-body Schr\"odinger equation using the Gaussian expansion method (GEM) and identify resonances via the complex scaling method (CSM). There are no bound states below the lowest two-meson thresholds. We obtain several compact resonances with in , and in and . The pole positions are mainly distributed around GeV (bottom) and GeV (charm), with widths from a few to several tens of MeV. These resonances decay into and (and their bottom counterparts), providing targets for future experimental searches.
