DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad1ee4 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...964...71H

Chevallard, Jacopo; Carniani, Stefano; D'Eugenio, Francesco +43 more

We present a catalog of 717 candidate galaxies at z > 8 selected from 125 square arcmin of NIRCam imaging as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). We combine the full JADES imaging data set with data from the JWST Extragalactic Medium Survey and First Reionization Epoch Spectroscopic COmplete Survey (FRESCO) along with ex…

A Census of Photometrically Selected Little Red Dots at 4 < z < 9 in JWST Blank Fields
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad4265 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...968...38K

Labbé, Ivo; Fujimoto, Seiji; Trebitsch, Maxime +9 more

Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered numerous faint active galactic nuclei (AGN) at z ∼ 5 and beyond. These objects are key to our understanding of the formation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), their coevolution with host galaxies, as well as the role of AGN in cosmic reionization. Using photometric colors an…

Extremely Red Galaxies at z = 5–9 with MIRI and NIRSpec: Dusty Galaxies or Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei?
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad167e Bibcode: 2024ApJ...963..128B

Papovich, Casey; Yang, Guang; Barro, Guillermo +31 more

We study a new population of extremely red objects (EROs) recently discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) based on their NIRCam colors F277W ‑ F444W > 1.5 mag. We find 37 EROs in the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS) field with F444W < 28 mag and photometric redshifts between 5 < z < 7, with median $z={…

What Is the Nature of Little Red Dots and what Is Not, MIRI SMILES Edition
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad38bb Bibcode: 2024ApJ...968....4P

Barro, Guillermo; Pérez-González, Pablo G.; Bunker, Andrew J. +20 more

We study 31 little red dots (LRD) detected by JADES/NIRCam and covered by the SMILES/MIRI survey, of which ∼70% are detected in the two bluest MIRI bands and 40% in redder MIRI filters. The median/quartiles redshifts are z=6.9

JWST NIRSpec Spectroscopy of the Remarkable Bright Galaxy GHZ2/GLASS-z12 at Redshift 12.34
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad5f88 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...972..143C

Santini, Paola; Arrabal Haro, Pablo; Calabrò, Antonello +28 more

We spectroscopically confirm the M UV = ‑20.5 mag galaxy GHZ2/GLASS-z12 to be at redshift z = 12.34. The source was selected via NIRCam photometry in GLASS-JWST Early Release Science data, providing the first evidence of a surprising abundance of bright galaxies at z ≳ 10. The NIRSpec PRISM spectrum shows detections of N IV, C IV, He II…

EPOCHS. II. The Ultraviolet Luminosity Function from 7.5 < z < 13.5 Using 180 arcmin2 of Deep, Blank Fields from the PEARLS Survey and Public JWST Data
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad2a7b Bibcode: 2024ApJ...965..169A

Grogin, Norman A.; Hathi, Nimish P.; Koekemoer, Anton M. +34 more

We present an analysis of the ultraviolet luminosity function (UV LF) and star formation rate density of distant galaxies (7.5 < z < 13.5) in the "blank" fields of the Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science (PEARLS) survey combined with Early Release Science data from the CEERS, GLASS, and NGDEEP surveys/fields and th…

The Galaxies Missed by Hubble and ALMA: The Contribution of Extremely Red Galaxies to the Cosmic Census at 3 < z < 8
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad3f17 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...968...34W

Pérez-González, Pablo G.; Maseda, Michael V.; Carniani, Stefano +35 more

Using deep JWST imaging from JADES, JEMS, and SMILES, we characterize optically faint and extremely red galaxies at z > 3 that were previously missing from galaxy census estimates. The data indicate the existence of abundant, dusty, and poststarburst-like galaxies down to 108 M , below the sensitivity limit of Spitzer an…

An Updated Mass-Radius Analysis of the 2017-2018 NICER Data Set of PSR J0030+0451
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acfb83 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...961...62V

Chakrabarty, Deepto; Bogdanov, Slavko; Salmi, Tuomo +12 more

In 2019 the NICER collaboration published the first mass and radius inferred for PSR J0030+0451, thanks to NICER observations, and consequent constraints on the equation of state characterizing dense matter. Two independent analyses found a mass of ~1.3-1.4 M and a radius of ~13 km. They also both found that the hot spots were all loc…

JWST NIRSpec Spectroscopy of the Triply Lensed z = 10.17 Galaxy MACS0647–JD

Hutchison, Taylor A.; Larson, Rebecca L.; Wilkins, Stephen M. +38 more

We present JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of MACS0647‑JD, a triply lensed z ∼ 11 candidate discovered in Hubble Space Telescope imaging and spatially resolved by JWST imaging into two components, A and B. Spectroscopy of component A yields a spectroscopic redshift z = 10.17 based on seven detected emission lines: C III] λ λ1907, 1909, [O II] λ372…

Remillard, Ronald A.; Bogdanov, Slavko; Salmi, Tuomo +17 more

We report Bayesian inference of the mass, radius, and hot X-ray emitting region properties—using data from the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER)—for the brightest rotation-powered millisecond X-ray pulsar, PSR J0437‑4715. Our modeling is conditional on informative tight priors on mass, distance, and binary inclination obtained fro…
