In-situ vs. ex-situ drivers of galaxy quenching: ubiquity of main sequence and critical black hole mass from the FLAMINGO simulation

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Seunghwan Lim, Sandro Tacchella, Roberto Maiolino, Joop Schaye, Matthieu Schaller | Summary: Exploiting a large sample of 5.3 million galaxies with $M_ast,{=},10^{10-11},{rm M}_odot$ from the highest-resolution FLAMINGO simulation, we carry out a statistical analysis of quiescent and star-forming galaxies to explore quenching mechanisms. From redshift $z,{simeq},7$ to […]

Deciphering the Nature of Virgil: An Obscured AGN Lurking Within an Apparently Normal Lyman-α Emitter During Cosmic Reionization

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Pierluigi Rinaldi, Pablo G. Pérez-González, George H. Rieke, Jianwei Lyu, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: We present a comprehensive analysis of the MIRI Extremely Red Object Virgil, a Lyman-$alpha$ emitter at $z_{spec} = 6.6379 pm 0.0035$ with the photometric properties of a Little Red Dot. Leveraging new JWST/MIRI […]

Effects of chemically homogeneous evolution of the first stars on the 21-cm signal and reionization

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, Daniel Kessler, Thomas Gessey-Jones, Jiten Dhandha, Anastasia Fialkov | Summary: The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), played a crucial role in the early Universe through their unique formation environment and metal-free composition. These stars can undergo chemically homogeneous evolution (CHE) […]

Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies Beyond the Local X-ray Universe: An X-ray spectral sample

Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | First 5 Authors: Jiachen Jiang, Dominic J. Walton, Luigi C. Gallo, Andrew C. Fabian, Dirk Grupe | Summary: Narrow-line Seyfert 1 AGNs (NLS1s) represent a unique stage in the black hole growth history, characterised by low black hole masses of approximately $10^{6}$-$10^{8}$ solar masses and around-Eddington accretion rates. X-ray […]

The dawn of disks: unveiling the turbulent ionised gas kinematics of the galaxy population at $zsim4-6$ with JWST/NIRCam grism spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: A. Lola Danhaive, Sandro Tacchella, Hannah Übler, Anna de Graaff, Eiichi Egami | Summary: Recent studies of gas kinematics at high redshift have reported disky systems which appear to challenge models of galaxy formation, but it is unclear whether they are representative of the underlying galaxy population. […]

BlackTHUNDER strikes twice: rest-frame Balmer-line absorption and high Eddington accretion rate in a Little Red Dot at $z=7.04$

Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Michele Perna, Hannah Uebler, Xihan Ji | Summary: JWST spectroscopy has revealed a population of compact objects at redshifts $z=2$-9 with `v’-shaped spectral energy distributions, broad permitted lines, and, often, hydrogen Balmer absorption. Among these `Little Red Dots’ (LRDs), Abell2744-QSO1 at $z=7.04$ has […]
