Growing a nuclear star cluster from star formation and cluster mergers: The JWST NIRSpec view of NGC 4654

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Katja Fahrion, Torsten Böker, Michele Perna, Tracy L. Beck, Roberto Maiolino | Summary: We present a detailed study of the centre of NGC4654, a Milky Way-like spiral galaxy in the Virgo cluster that has been reported to host a double stellar nucleus, thus promising a rare view […]

Searching for Cosmological Collider in the Planck CMB Data

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: Wuhyun Sohn, Dong-Gang Wang, James R. Fergusson, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: In this paper, we present the first comprehensive CMB data analysis of cosmological collider physics. New heavy particles during inflation can leave imprints in the primordial correlators which are observable in today’s […]

JADES Data Release 3 — NIRSpec/MSA spectroscopy for 4,000 galaxies in the GOODS fields

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Alex J. Cameron, Jan Scholtz, Stefano Carniani, Chris J. Willott | Summary: We present the third data release of JADES, the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, providing both imaging and spectroscopy in the two GOODS fields. Spectroscopy consists of medium-depth and deep NIRSpec/MSA spectra of […]

GA-NIFS: An extremely nitrogen-loud and chemically stratified galaxy at $zsim 5.55$

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Xihan Ji, Hannah Übler, Roberto Maiolino, Francesco D’Eugenio, Santiago Arribas | Summary: We report the chemical abundance pattern of GS_3073, a galaxy at $z=5.55$ which was previously confirmed to host an overmassive active black hole, by leveraging the detection of about 40 emission lines, combining JWST/NIRSpec observations […]

Resolving the nature and putative nebular emission of GS9422: an obscured AGN without exotic stars

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sandro Tacchella, William McClymont, Jan Scholtz, Roberto Maiolino, Xihan Ji | Summary: Understanding the sources that power nebular emission in high-redshift galaxies is fundamentally important not only for shedding light onto the drivers of reionisation, but to constrain stellar populations and the growth of black holes. Here […]

Cosmic Microwave Background Signatures from Current-carrying Cosmic Strings

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | First 5 Authors: I. Yu. Rybak, C. J. A. P. Martins, Patrick Peter, E. P. S. Shellard, | Summary: We continue our studies of the evolution and cosmological consequences of current-carrying cosmic string networks, described by a charge-velocity-dependent one scale (CVOS) model. We present a detailed calculation of […]

No evidence of AGN features in the nuclei of Arp 220 from JWST/NIRSpec IFS

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Michele Perna, Santiago Arribas, Isabella Lamperti, Miguel Pereira-Santaella, Lorenzo Ulivi | Summary: Arp 220 is the nearest ULIRG; it shows evidence of 100 pc-scale molecular outflows likely connected with galaxy-scale outflows traced by ionised and neutral gas. The two highly obscured nuclei of Arp 220 are the […]

Spatially resolved emission lines in galaxies at $4leq z < 10$ from the JADES survey: evidence for enhanced central star formation

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Roberta Tripodi, Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Mirko Curti, Jan Scholtz | Summary: We present the first statistical investigation of spatially resolved emission-line properties in a sample of 63 low-mass galaxies at $4leq z<10$, using JWST/NIRSpec MSA data from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic (JADES) survey focusing on […]

A dormant, overmassive black hole in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Ignas Juodžbalis, Roberto Maiolino, William M. Baker, Sandro Tacchella, Jan Scholtz | Summary: Recent observations have found a large number of supermassive black holes already in place in the first few hundred million years after Big Bang. The channels of formation and growth of these early, massive […]
