DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acd643 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...952...84B

Santini, Paola; Castellano, Marco; Fontana, Adriano +23 more

We present a new high-precision, JWST-based, strong-lensing model for the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 at z = 0.3072. By combining the deep, high-resolution JWST imaging from the Grism Lens Amplified Survey from Space-JWST and Ultradeep NIRSpec and NIRCam Observations before the Epoch of Reionization programs and a Director's Discretionary Time progr…

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1308 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.523.1729B

Bondi, M.; Prandoni, I.; Małek, K. +26 more

Source classifications, stellar masses, and star-formation rates are presented for ≈80 000 radio sources from the first data release of the Low Frequency Array Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) Deep Fields, which represents the widest deep radio survey ever undertaken. Using deep multi-wavelength data spanning from the ultraviolet to the far-infrared, …

Gaia Data Release 3. The extragalactic content
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243232 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A..41G

The Gaia Galactic survey mission is designed and optimized to obtain astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy of nearly two billion stars in our Galaxy. Yet as an all-sky multi-epoch survey, Gaia also observes several million extragalactic objects down to a magnitude of G ∼ 21 mag. Due to the nature of the Gaia onboard-selection algorithms, these …

Closing in on the sources of cosmic reionization: First results from the GLASS-JWST program
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202345866 Bibcode: 2023A&A...672A.155M

The escape fraction of Lyman-continuum (LyC) photons (fesc) is a key parameter for determining the sources of cosmic reionization at z ≥ 6. At these redshifts, owing to the opacity of the intergalactic medium, the LyC emission cannot be measured directly. However, LyC leakers during the epoch of reionization could be identified using in…

Primordial power spectrum in light of JWST observations of high redshift galaxies
DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/slad107 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.526L..63P

Laha, Ranjan; Parashari, Priyank

Early data releases of JWST have revealed several high redshift massive galaxy candidates by photometry, and some of them have been confirmed spectroscopically. We study their implications on the primordial power spectrum. In the first part, we use the CEERS photometric survey data, along with respective spectroscopic updates, to compute the cumul…

JWST/NIRSpec Balmer-line Measurements of Star Formation and Dust Attenuation at z 3-6
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acea5a Bibcode: 2023ApJ...954..157S

Shapley, Alice E.; Reddy, Naveen A.; Sanders, Ryan L. +2 more

We present an analysis of the star formation rates (SFRs) and dust attenuation properties of star-forming galaxies at 2.7 ≤ z < 6.5 drawn from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey. Our analysis is based on JWST/NIRSpec Micro-Shutter Assembly R ~ 1000 spectroscopic observations covering approximately 1-5 µm. Our primary rest-f…

CEERS Key Paper. V. Galaxies at 4 < z < 9 Are Bluer than They Appear–Characterizing Galaxy Stellar Populations from Rest-frame ∼1 µm Imaging
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acc948 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...949L..18P

Papovich, Casey; Cole, Justin W.; Yang, Guang +46 more

We present results from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Survey on the stellar population parameters for 28 galaxies with redshifts 4 < z < 9 using imaging data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) combined with data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The JWST/MIRI 5.6 and …

Carniani, Stefano; Übler, Hannah; Bunker, Andrew J. +21 more

The dramatic first images with JWST demonstrated its power to provide unprecedented spatial detail for galaxies in the high-redshift universe. Here, we leverage the resolution and depth of the JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey data in the Extended Groth Strip to perform pixel-level morphological classifications of galaxies in JWST…

Leveraging SN Ia spectroscopic similarity to improve the measurement of H 0
DOI: 10.1088/1475-7516/2023/11/046 Bibcode: 2023JCAP...11..046M

Filippenko, Alexei V.; Jones, David O.; Riess, Adam G. +7 more

Recent studies suggest spectroscopic differences explain a fraction of the variation in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) luminosities after light-curve/color standardization. In this work, (i) we empirically characterize the variations of standardized SN Ia luminosities, and (ii) we use a spectroscopically inferred parameter, SIP, to improve the precisio…

Context. During its all-sky survey, the extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA) on board the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory has uncovered a growing number of X-ray transients associated with the nuclei of quiescent galaxies. Benefitting from its large field of view and excellent sensitivity, the eROSITA window…
