Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Uebler, Francesco D’Eugenio, Jan Scholtz, Ignas Juodzbalis | Summary: The recent discovery of a large number of massive black holes within the first two billion years after the Big Bang, as well as their peculiar properties, have been largely unexpected based on the extrapolation […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Robert G. Pascalau, Francesco D’Eugenio, Sandro Tacchella, Roberto Maiolino, Michele Cappellari | Summary: JWST observations uncovered a large number of massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) at z>3, which theoretical models struggle to reproduce. Explaining the number density of such objects requires extremely high conversion efficiency of baryons into […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Tiger Yu-Yang Hsiao, Fengwu Sun, Xiaojing Lin, Dan Coe, Eiichi Egami | Summary: Population III stars, the hypothetical first generation metal-free stars, have yet to be discovered. Even after three years of successful JWST operations, studies have shown that most galaxies identified to date at $z > […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Junyu Zhang, Eiichi Egami, Fengwu Sun, Xiaojing Lin, Jianwei Lyu | Summary: We present a spectroscopic search for broad H$alpha$ emitters at z~3.7-6.5 in the GOODS-N field, utilizing JWST/NIRCam slitless spectroscopy from FRESCO and CONGRESS, complemented by JADES imaging. We identify 19 broad H$alpha$ emitters with FWHM […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, , , , | Summary: This paper presents an alternative way of analysing Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) distance measurements via rotations to define new quantities Dperp and Dpar. These quantities allow simple tests of consistency with the Planck LCDM cosmology. The parameter Dperp is determined […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Keir K. Rogers, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, | Summary: We investigate the degeneracy between the effects of ultra-light axion dark matter and baryonic feedback in suppressing the matter power spectrum. We forecast that galaxy shear data from the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Frank J. Qu, Fei Ge, W. L. Kimmy Wu, Irene Abril-Cabezas, Mathew S. Madhavacheril | Summary: We present the tightest cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing constraints to date on the growth of structure by combining CMB lensing measurements from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), the South Pole […]

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Eun-jin Shin, Debora Sijacki, Matthew C. Smith, Martin A. Bourne, Sophie Koudmani | Summary: While mounting observational evidence suggests that intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) may be important in shaping the properties of dwarf galaxies both at high redshifts and in the local Universe, our theoretical understanding […]
