SAPPHIRES: A Galaxy Over-Density in the Heart of Cosmic Reionization at $z=8.47$

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Yoshinobu Fudamoto, Jakob M. Helton, Xiaojing Lin, Fengwu Sun, Peter Behroozi | Summary: We report the discovery of a galaxy proto-cluster candidate (dubbed MACS0416-OD-z8p5) at a spectroscopic redshift of $zsim8.47$, dating back to $sim550$Myr after the Big Bang. The observations are part of the JWST Cycle-3 treasury […]

JADES and SAPPHIRES: Galaxy Metamorphosis Amidst a Huge, Luminous Emission-line Region

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Francesco D’Eugenio, , , | Summary: We report the discovery of a remarkably large and luminous line-emitting nebula extending on either side of the Balmer-break galaxy JADES-GS-518794 at z=5.89, detected with JADES JWST/NIRCam imaging in [O III]$lambdalambda$4959,5007 and H$alpha$ and spectroscopically confirmed with NIRCam/WFSS thanks […]

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 […]

Detection of the 2175Å UV Bump at z>7: Evidence for Rapid Dust Evolution in a Merging Reionisation-Era Galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Dust is a fundamental component of the interstellar medium (ISM) within galaxies, as dust grains are highly efficient absorbers of UV and optical photons. Accurately quantifying this obscuration is crucial for interpreting galaxy spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The extinction curves in […]

A Tentative Detection of Molecular Hydrogen (H$_2$) Emission Lines at Cosmic Dawn

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We present a theoretical framework for interpreting far-ultraviolet (FUV) fluorescent emission from molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) in high-redshift galaxies, motivated by the unique capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to probe the rest frame FUV at cosmic dawn. Using the […]

JADES: Average Nitrogen Enhancement in High-Redshift Broad-Line Active Galactic Nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Yuki Isobe, Roberto Maiolino, Francesco D’Eugenio, Mirko Curti, Xihan Ji | Summary: The unexpectedly high nitrogen-to-oxygen (N/O) ratios observed in high-redshift (z) galaxies have challenged our understanding of early star formation. Notably, many of these nitrogen-rich galaxies show signatures of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), suggesting a possible […]
