Photometric detection at $7.7 μmathrm{m}$ of a galaxy beyond redshift $14$ with JWST/MIRI

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jakob M. Helton, George H. Rieke, Stacey Alberts, Zihao Wu, Daniel J. Eisenstein | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has spectroscopically confirmed numerous galaxies at $z > 10$. While weak rest-ultraviolet emission lines have only been seen in a handful of sources, the stronger rest-optical […]

The density-bounded twilight of starbursts in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella, Francesco D’Eugenio, Callum Witten, Xihan Ji | Summary: The peculiar nebular emission displayed by galaxies in the early Universe presents a unique opportunity to gain insight into the regulation of star formation in extreme environments. We investigate 500 (109) galaxies with deep NIRSpec/PRISM […]

GA-NIFS: Witnessing the complex assembly of a massive star-forming system at $z=5.7$

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Gareth C. Jones, Andrew J. Bunker, Kseniia Telikova, Santiago Arribas, Stefano Carniani | Summary: We present observations of the $zsim5.7$ Lyman-break galaxy HZ10 with the JWST/NIRSpec IFU in high and low spectral resolution (G395H, $Rsim2700$ and PRISM, $Rsim100$, respectively), as part of the GA-NIFS program. By spatially […]

JADES — The small blue bump in GN-z11: insights into the nuclear region of a galaxy at z=10.6

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Xihan Ji, Roberto Maiolino, Gary Ferland, Francesco D’Eugenio, Rachana Bhatawdekar | Summary: We report the detection of continuum excess in the rest-frame UV between 3000 {AA} and 3550 {AA} in the JWST/NIRSpec spectrum of GN-z11, a galaxy hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z = 10.603. […]

Feedback mechanisms stopping the star formation in a pair of massive galaxies in the early Universe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Pablo G. Pérez-González, Francesco D`Eugenio, Bruno Rodríguez del Pino, Hannah Übler, Roberto Maiolino | Summary: Feedback is the key physical mechanism regulating galaxy formation. Stars in galaxies form when baryons radiatively cool down and fall into gravitational wells. Eventually, star formation quenches as gas is depleted and/or […]

JWST meets Chandra: a large population of Compton thick, feedback-free, and X-ray weak AGN, with a sprinkle of SNe

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Roberto Maiolino, Guido Risaliti, Matilde Signorini, Bartolomeo Trefoloni, Ignas Juodzbalis | Summary: We investigate the X-ray properties of a large sample of 71 broad line and narrow line AGN at 2<z<11 discovered by JWST in the GOODS fields, which have the deepest Chandra observations ever obtained. Despite […]

Reconstructing the matter power spectrum with future cosmic shear surveys

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: Analyses of cosmic shear typically condense weak lensing information over a range of scales to a single cosmological parameter, $S_8$. This paper presents a method to extract more information from Stage-IV cosmic shear measurements by directly reconstructing the […]

Stochastic prior for non-parametric star-formation histories

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Jenny T. Wan, Sandro Tacchella, Benjamin D. Johnson, Kartheik G. Iyer, Joshua S. Speagle | Summary: The amount of power contained in the variations in galaxy star-formation histories (SFHs) across a range of timescales encodes key information about the physical processes which modulate star formation. Modelling the […]

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 […]
