Extremely Dense Gas around Little Red Dots and High-redshift AGNs: A Non-stellar Origin of the Balmer Break and Absorption Features

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Kohei Inayoshi, Roberto Maiolino, , , | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at high redshifts of $zgtrsim 4-7$, powered by accreting black holes (BHs) with masses of $sim 10^{6-8}~M_odot$. These AGN populations are considered crucial for understanding early […]

First direct carbon abundance measured at $z>10$ in the lensed galaxy MACS0647$-$JD

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Tiger Yu-Yang Hsiao, Michael W. Topping, Dan Coe, John Chisholm, Danielle A. Berg | Summary: Investigating the metal enrichment in the early universe helps us constrain theories about the first stars and study the ages of galaxies. The lensed galaxy MACS0647$-$JD at $z=10.17$ is the brightest galaxy […]

Cosmological limits on the neutrino mass sum for beyond-$Λ$CDM models

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Helen Shao, Jahmour J. Givans, Jo Dunkley, Mathew Madhavacheril, Frank Qu | Summary: The sum of cosmic neutrino masses can be measured cosmologically, as the sub-eV particles behave as `hot’ dark matter whose main effect is to suppress the clustering of matter compared to a universe with […]

Witnessing the onset of Reionisation via Lyman-$α$ emission at redshift 13

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Joris Witstok, Peter Jakobsen, Roberto Maiolino, Jakob M. Helton, Benjamin D. Johnson | Summary: $require{mediawiki-texvc}$Cosmic Reionisation commenced when ultraviolet (UV) radiation produced in the first galaxies began illuminating the cold, neutral gas that filled the primordial Universe. Recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations have shown that […]

Narrow line AGN selection in CEERS: spectroscopic selection, physical properties, X-ray and radio analysis

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Giovanni Mazzolari, Jan Scholtz, Roberto Maiolino, Roberto Gilli, Alberto Traina | Summary: In this work, we spectroscopically select narrow-line AGN (NLAGN) among the $sim 300$ publicly available medium-resolution spectra of the CEERS Survey. Using both traditional and newly identified emission line NLAGN diagnostics diagrams, we identified 52 […]

From Halos to Galaxies. VI. Improved halo mass estimation for SDSS groups and measurement of the halo mass function

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Dingyi Zhao, Yingjie Peng, Yipeng Jing, Xiaohu Yang, Luis C. Ho | Summary: In $Lambda$CDM cosmology, galaxies form and evolve in their host dark matter (DM) halos. Halo mass is crucial for understanding the halo-galaxy connection. The abundance matching (AM) technique has been widely used to derive […]

Evolving Dark Energy or Supernovae Systematics?

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, , , , | Summary: Recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration have been interpreted as evidence for evolving dark energy. However, this interpretation is strongly dependent on which Type Ia supernova (SN) sample is combined with DESI measurements of baryon acoustic […]

JWST/NIRSpec WIDE survey: a z=4.6 low-mass star-forming galaxy hosting a jet-driven shock with low ionisation and solar metallicity

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Vijay H. Mahatma, Giovanni Mazzolari, Stefano Carniani | Summary: We present NIRSpec/MSA observations from the JWST large-area survey WIDE, targeting the rest-frame UV-optical spectrum of Ulema, a radio-AGN host at redshift z=4.6348. The low-resolution prism spectrum displays high equivalent width nebular emission, with […]

JADES Ultra-red Flattened Objects: Morphologies and Spatial Gradients in Color and Stellar Populations

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Justus L. Gibson, Erica Nelson, Christina C. Williams, Sedona H. Price, Katherine E. Whitaker | Summary: One of the more surprising findings after the first year of JWST observations is the large number of spatially extended galaxies (ultra-red flattened objects, or UFOs) among the optically-faint galaxy population […]

GA-NIFS: Multi-phase outflows in a star-forming galaxy at $z sim 5.5$

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Eleonora Parlanti, Stefano Carniani, Giacomo Venturi, Rodrigo Herrera-Camus, Santiago Arribas | Summary: Galactic outflows driven by star formation or active galactic nuclei are typically formed by multi-phase gas whose temperature spans over 4 orders of magnitude. Probing the different outflow components requires multi-wavelength observations and long exposure […]
