We present an [O/Fe] ratio of a luminous galaxy GN-z11 at z = 10.60 derived with the deep public JWST/NIRSpec data. We fit the medium-resolution grating (G140M, G235M, and G395M) data with the model spectra consisting of BPASS-stellar and CLOUDY-nebular spectra in the rest-frame UV wavelength ranges with Fe absorption lines, carefully masking the …

Abell 746: A Highly Disturbed Cluster Undergoing Multiple Mergers
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad29fa Bibcode: 2024ApJ...966...38R

Brunetti, G.; Lovisari, L.; Jee, M. J. +21 more

We present deep XMM-Newton, Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, and upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations of Abell 746, a cluster that hosts a plethora of diffuse emission sources that provide evidence for the acceleration of relativistic particles. Our new XMM-Newton images reveal a complex morphology of the thermal gas with several …

TEMPLATES: Characterization of a Merger in the Dusty Lensing SPT0418–47 System
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad33c9 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...967...11C

Hutchison, Taylor A.; Mahler, Guillaume; Rigby, Jane R. +24 more

We present JWST and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) imaging for the lensing system SPT0418‑47, which includes a strongly lensed, dusty, star-forming galaxy at redshift z = 4.225 and an associated multiply imaged companion. The JWST NIRCam and MIRI imaging observations presented in this paper were acquired as part of the Early R…

Mid-infrared Spectrum of the Disk around the Forming Companion GQ Lup B Revealed by JWST/MIRI
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad3cbc Bibcode: 2024ApJ...966L..21C

Banzatti, Andrea; MacDonald, Ryan J.; Stolker, Tomas +5 more

GQ Lup B is a forming brown dwarf companion (M ∼ 10–30 M J) showing evidence for an infrared excess associated with a disk surrounding the companion itself. Here we present mid-infrared (MIR) observations of GQ Lup B with the Medium Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) on JWST, spanning 4.8–11.7 µm. We remove the stellar contamination us…

A SPectroscopic survey of biased halos In the Reionization Era (ASPIRE): Impact of Galaxies on the Circumgalactic Medium Metal Enrichment at z > 6 Using the JWST and VLT
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ad23e7 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...963L..28Z

Chevallard, Jacopo; Hennawi, Joseph F.; Fan, Xiaohui +27 more

We characterize the multiphase circumgalactic medium (CGM) and galaxy properties at z = 6.0–6.5 in four quasar fields from the James Webb Space Telescope A SPectroscopic survey of biased halos In the Reionization Era (ASPIRE) program. We use the Very Large Telescope/X-shooter spectra of quasar J0305–3150 to identify one new metal absorber at z = 6…

A Survey of Lyα Emission around Damped Lyα Absorbers at z ≈ 2 with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad1182 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...962...72O

Prochaska, J. Xavier; Rafelski, Marc; Neeleman, Marcel +3 more

We present Keck Cosmic Web Imager Lyα integral field spectroscopy of the fields surrounding 14 damped Lyα absorbers (DLAs) at z ≈ 2. Of these 14 DLAs, nine have high metallicities ([M/H] > ‑ 0.3), and four of those nine feature a CO-emitting galaxy at an impact parameter ≲30 kpc. Our search reaches median Lyα line flux sensitivities of ∼2 × 10<…

MOSEL Survey: Spatially Offset Lyman-continuum Emission in a New Emitter at z = 3.088 Can Explain the Low Number Density of Observed LyC Leakers
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad6767 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...973..169G

Bunker, Andrew J.; Cameron, Alex J.; Kacprzak, Glenn G. +9 more

We present the discovery of a unique Lyman-continuum (LyC) emitter at z = 3.088. The LyC emission was detected using the Hubble Space Telescope WFC3/UVIS F336W filter, covering a rest-frame wavelength range of 760–900 Å. The peak signal-to-noise ratio of LyC emission is 3.9 in an r = 0.″24 aperture and is spatially offset by 0.″29 ± 0.″04 (∼2.2 ± …

The Intrabinary Shock and Companion Star of Redback Pulsar J2215+5135
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ad4d85 Bibcode: 2024ApJ...974..315S

Romani, Roger W.; Sullivan, Andrew G.

PSR J2215+5135 (J2215) is a "redback" spider pulsar, where the intrabinary shock (IBS) wraps around the pulsar rather than the stellar-mass companion. Spider orbital light curves are modulated, dominated by their binary companion thermal emission in the optical bands and by IBS synchrotron emission in the X-rays. We report on new XMM-Newton X-ray …

Lyman Continuum Leakers in the AstroSat Ultraviolet Deep Field: Extreme-ultraviolet Emitters at the Cosmic Noon

Teplitz, Harry I.; Rafelski, Marc; Saha, Kanak +5 more

We report the direct detection of Lyman continuum (LyC) emission from nine galaxies and one active galactic nucleus at z ∼ 1.1–1.6 in the GOODS-North field using deep observations from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on board AstroSat. The absolute escape fraction of the sources estimated from the far-ultraviolet and Hα-line luminosities …

We present the detection of a magnetized dust ring (M0.8–0.2) in the central molecular zone (CMZ) of the Galactic center. The results presented in this paper utilize the first data release of the Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large Area CMZ Emission (FIREPLACE) survey (i.e., Paper I of this series). The FIREPLACE survey is a 214 µm polarimetric …
