EPOCHS. IV. SED Modeling Assumptions and Their Impact on the Stellar Mass Function at 6.5 ≤ z ≤ 13.5 Using PEARLS and Public JWST Observations
Grogin, Norman A.; Hathi, Nimish P.; Holwerda, Benne W. +31 more
We utilize deep JWST Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) observations for the first direct constraints on the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function (GSMF) at z > 10. Our EPOCHS v1 sample includes 1120 galaxy candidates at 6.5 < z < 13.5 taken from a consistent reduction and analysis of publicly available deep JWST NIRCam data covering the Prime Extragal…
ALESS-JWST: Joint (Sub)kiloparsec JWST and ALMA Imaging of z ~ 3 Submillimeter Galaxies Reveals Heavily Obscured Bulge Formation Events
Smail, I.; Menten, K. M.; Brandt, W. N. +25 more
We present JWST NIRCam imaging targeting 13 z ~ 3 infrared-luminous (LIR ∼ 5 × 1012L⊙) galaxies from the ALESS survey with uniquely deep, high-resolution (0
Once a Triple, Not Always a Triple: The Evolution of Hierarchical Triples That Yield Merged Inner Binaries
El-Badry, Kareem; Angelo, Isabel; Rodriguez, Antonio C. +4 more
More than half of all main-sequence (MS) stars have one or more companions, and many of those with initial masses <8 M ⊙ are born in hierarchical triples. These systems feature two stars in a close orbit (the inner binary) while a tertiary star orbits them on a wider orbit (the outer binary). In hierarchical triples, three-body dynam…
No Evidence for a Significant Evolution of M•–M. Relation in Massive Galaxies up to z ∼ 4
Circosta, Chiara; D'Eugenio, Francesco; Bunker, Andrew J. +19 more
Over the past two decades, tight correlations between black hole masses (M•) and their host galaxy properties have been firmly established for massive galaxies (with stellar mass
A Pride of Satellites in the Constellation Leo? Discovery of the Leo VI Milky Way Satellite Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy with DELVE Early Data Release 3
Geha, M.; Gruendl, R. A.; James, D. J. +35 more
We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of an ultra-faint Milky Way satellite in the constellation of Leo. This system was discovered as a spatial overdensity of resolved stars observed with Dark Energy Camera (DECam) data from an early version of the third data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (or DELVE) survey. The lo…
Metallicity and α-abundance for 48 Million Stars in Low-extinction Regions in the Milky Way
Hattori, Kohei
We estimate ([M/H], [α/M]) for 48 million giants and dwarfs in low-dust extinction regions from the Gaia DR3 XP spectra by using tree-based machine learning models trained on APOGEE DR17 and a metal-poor star sample from Li et al. The root mean square error of our estimation is 0.0890 dex for [M/H] and 0.0436 dex for [α/M], when we evaluate our mo…
Strong Rest-UV Emission Lines in a "Little Red Dot" Active Galactic Nucleus at z = 7: Early Supermassive Black Hole Growth alongside Compact Massive Star Formation?
Finkelstein, Steven L.; Casey, Caitlin M.; Koekemoer, Anton M. +13 more
JWST has now revealed a population of broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) at z ≳ 4 characterized by a distinctive spectral energy distribution shape, with a very red rest-frame optical and very blue rest-frame UV continuum. While the optical continuum is thought to originate from the accretion disk, the origin of the UV continuum has been larg…
VODKA-JWST: Synchronized Growth of Two Supermassive Black Holes in a Massive Gas Disk? A 3.8 kpc Separation Dual Quasar at Cosmic Noon with the NIRSpec Integral Field Unit
Shen, Yue; Veilleux, Sylvain; Zakamska, Nadia L. +10 more
The search for dual supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is of immense interest in modern astrophysics. Galaxy mergers may fuel and produce SMBH pairs. Actively accreting SMBH pairs are observed as dual quasars, which are vital probes of SMBH growth. Dual quasars at cosmic noon are not well characterized. Gaia observations have enabled a novel techniq…
GD-1 Stellar Stream and Cocoon in the DESI Early Data Release
Moustakas, J.; Brooks, D.; Doel, P. +51 more
We present ∼115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence of a "cocoon," which is a broad (FWHM ∼ 2
The PANORAMIC Survey: Pure Parallel Wide Area Legacy Imaging with JWST/NIRCam
Maseda, Michael V.; Franx, Marijn; Labbé, Ivo +15 more
We present the PANORAMIC survey, a pure parallel extragalactic imaging program with JWST/NIRCam observed during Cycle 1. The survey obtained ∼530 square arcmin of NIRCam imaging from 1–5 µm, totaling ∼192 hr of science integration time. This represents the largest on-sky time investment of any Cycle 1 GO extragalactic NIRCam imaging program …
