First results from the JWST Early Release Science Program Q3D: The Warm Ionized Gas Outflow in z ~ 1.6 Quasar XID 2028 and its Impact on the Host Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Sylvain Veilleux, Weizhe Liu, Andrey Vayner, Dominika Wylezalek, David S. N. Rupke | Summary: Quasar feedback may regulate the growth of supermassive black holes, quench coeval star formation, and impact galaxy morphology and the circumgalactic medium. However, direct evidence for quasar feedback in action at the epoch […]

A recently quenched galaxy 700 million years after the Big Bang

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Tobias J. Looser, Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Joris Witstok, Lester Sandles | Summary: Local and low-redshift ($z$<$3$) galaxies are known to broadly follow a bimodal distribution: actively star forming galaxies with relatively stable star-formation rates, and passive systems. These two populations are connected by galaxies in relatively […]

The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey: Discovery of an Extreme Galaxy Overdensity at $z = 5.4$ with JWST/NIRCam in GOODS-S

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jakob M. Helton, Fengwu Sun, Charity Woodrum, Kevin N. Hainline, Christopher N. A. Willmer | Summary: We report the discovery of an extreme galaxy overdensity at $z = 5.4$ in the GOODS-S field using JWST/NIRCam imaging from JADES and JEMS alongside JWST/NIRCam wide field slitless spectroscopy from […]

Carbonaceous dust grains seen in the first billion years of cosmic time

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Joris Witstok, Irene Shivaei, Renske Smit, Roberto Maiolino, Stefano Carniani | Summary: Large dust reservoirs (up to $sim 10^8 , mathrm{M_odot}$) have been detected in galaxies out to redshift $z sim 8$, when the age of the universe was only about 600 Myr. Generating significant amounts of […]

Stochastic gravitational wave background from supernovae in massive scalar-tensor gravity

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Roxana Rosca-Mead, Michalis Agathos, Christopher J. Moore, Ulrich Sperhake, | Summary: In massive scalar-tensor gravity, core-collapse supernovae are strong sources of scalar-polarized gravitational waves. These can be detectable out to large distance. The dispersive nature of the propagation of waves in the massive scalar field mean the […]

GA-NIFS: Black hole and host galaxy properties of two z$simeq$6.8 quasars from the NIRSpec IFU

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Madeline A. Marshall, Michele Perna, Chris J. Willott, Roberto Maiolino, Jan Scholtz | Summary: Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) with JWST NIRSpec will significantly improve our understanding of the first quasars, by providing spatially resolved, infrared spectroscopic capabilities which cover key rest-frame optical emission lines that have been […]

JADES: Probing interstellar medium conditions at $zsim5.5-9.5$ with ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Alex J. Cameron, Aayush Saxena, Andrew J. Bunker, Francesco D’Eugenio, Stefano Carniani | Summary: We present emission line ratios from a sample of 26 Lyman break galaxies from $zsim5.5-9.5$ with $-17.0<M_{1500}<-20.4$, measured from ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy from JADES. We use 28 hour deep PRISM/CLEAR and 7 […]

Cosmic Web Dissection in Fuzzy Dark Matter Cosmologies

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Tibor Dome, Anastasia Fialkov, Nina Sartorio, Philip Mocz, | Summary: On large cosmological scales, anisotropic gravitational collapse is manifest in the dark cosmic web. Its statistical properties are little known for alternative dark matter models such as fuzzy dark matter (FDM). In this work, we assess for […]

Joint analysis constraints on the physics of the first galaxies with low frequency radio astronomy data

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Harry T. J. Bevins, Stefan Heimersheim, Irene Abril-Cabezas, Anastasia Fialkov, Eloy de Lera Acedo | Summary: Observations of the first billion years of cosmic history are currently limited. We demonstrate, using a novel machine learning technique, the synergy between observations of the sky-averaged 21-cm signal from neutral […]
