We present a reduction and analysis of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) SMACS 0723 field using new post-launch calibrations to conduct a search for ultra-high-redshift galaxies (z > 9) present within the Epoch of Reionization. We conduct this search by modelling photometric redshifts in several ways for all sources and by applying conserva…

Gaia Data Release 3. Properties and validation of the radial velocities
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244220 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A...5K

Smith, M.; Gosset, E.; Caffau, E. +47 more

Context. Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) contains the second release of the combined radial velocities. It is based on the spectra collected during the first 34 months of the nominal mission. The longer time baseline and the improvements of the pipeline made it possible to push the processing limit from GRVS = 12 in Gaia DR2 to GRVS…

The chemical enrichment in the early Universe as probed by JWST via direct metallicity measurements at z ∼ 8
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac2737 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.518..425C

Chevallard, Jacopo; Maseda, Michael V.; Carniani, Stefano +30 more

We analyse the chemical properties of three z~ 8 galaxies behind the galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7327, observed as part of the Early Release Observations programme of the James Webb Space Telescope. Exploiting [O III]λ4363 auroral line detections in NIRSpec spectra, we robustly apply the direct Te method for the very first time at such…

JWST Census for the Mass-Metallicity Star Formation Relations at z = 4-10 with Self-consistent Flux Calibration and Proper Metallicity Calibrators
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4365/acd556 Bibcode: 2023ApJS..269...33N

Ono, Yoshiaki; Ouchi, Masami; Harikane, Yuichi +5 more

We present the evolution of the mass-metallicity (MZ) relation at z = 4-10 derived with 135 galaxies identified in JWST/NIRSpec data taken from the three major public spectroscopy programs of ERO, GLASS, and CEERS. Because there are many discrepancies between the flux measurements reported by the early ERO studies, we first establish our NIRSpec d…

Identification and properties of intense star-forming galaxies at redshifts z > 10

Surveys with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered candidate galaxies in the first 400 Myr of cosmic time. Preliminary indications have suggested these candidate galaxies may be more massive and abundant than previously thought. However, without confirmed distances, their inferred properties remain uncertain. Here we identify four …

Prusti, T.; Mazeh, T.; Zucker, S. +448 more

Context. The Gaia DR3 catalogue contains, for the first time, about 800 000 solutions with either orbital elements or trend parameters for astrometric, spectroscopic, and eclipsing binaries, and combinations of these three.
Aims: With this paper, we aim to illustrate the huge potential of this large non-single-star catalogue.
Methods: Us…

CEERS Epoch 1 NIRCam Imaging: Reduction Methods and Simulations Enabling Early JWST Science Results
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acbb08 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...946L..12B

Papovich, Casey; Yang, Guang; Finkelstein, Steven L. +37 more

We present the data release and data reduction process for the Epoch 1 NIRCam observations for the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS). These data consist of NIRCam imaging in six broadband filters (F115W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F356W and F444W) and one medium-band filter (F410M) over four pointings, obtained in parallel with prima…

We present rest-frame optical data of the compact z = 5.55 galaxy GS_3073 obtained using the integral field spectroscopy mode of the Near-InfraRed Spectrograph on board the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy's prominent broad components in several hydrogen and helium lines (though absent in the forbidden lines) and v detection of a large equiv…

Revealing galaxy candidates out to z 16 with JWST observations of the lensing cluster SMACS0723
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3144 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.519.1201A

Charlot, Stéphane; Chevallard, Jacopo; Mahler, Guillaume +8 more

One of the main goals of the JWST is to study the first galaxies in the Universe. We present a systematic photometric analysis of very distant galaxies in the first JWST deep field towards the massive lensing cluster SMACS0723. As a result, we report the discovery of two galaxy candidates at z ~ 16, only 250 million years after the big bang. We al…

We present the survey design, implementation, and outlook for COSMOS-Web, a 255 hr treasury program conducted by the James Webb Space Telescope in its first cycle of observations. COSMOS-Web is a contiguous 0.54 deg2 NIRCam imaging survey in four filters (F115W, F150W, F277W, and F444W) that will reach 5σ point-source depths ranging ~27…
