JWST unveils heavily obscured (active and passive) sources up to z 13
DOI: 10.1093/mnrasl/slac115 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.518L..19R

Bisigello, Laura; Grazian, Andrea; Iani, Edoardo +5 more

A wealth of extragalactic populations completely missed at UV-optical wavelengths has been identified in the last decade, combining the deepest HST and Spitzer observations. These dark sources are thought to be dusty and star-forming systems at 3 < z < 5, and major contributors to the stellar mass build up. In this letter, we report an inves…

The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field surveys: Data release II
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244187 Bibcode: 2023A&A...670A...4B

Feltre, Anna; Bacon, Roland; Tresse, Laurence +30 more

We present the second data release of the MUSE Hubble Ultra-Deep Field surveys, which includes the deepest spectroscopic survey ever performed. The MUSE data, with their 3D content, amazing depth, wide spectral range, and excellent spatial and medium spectral resolution, are rich in information. Their location in the Hubble ultra-deep field area, …

Gaia Data Release 3. Astrometric orbit determination with Markov chain Monte Carlo and genetic algorithms: Systems with stellar, sub-stellar, and planetary mass companions
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244161 Bibcode: 2023A&A...674A..10H

Holl, B.; Sahlmann, J.; Sozzetti, A. +8 more

Context. The astrometric discovery of sub-stellar mass companions orbiting stars is exceedingly hard due to the required sub-milliarcsecond precision, limiting the application of this technique to only a few instruments on a target-per-target basis and to the global astrometry space missions HIPPARCOS and Gaia. The third Gaia data release (Gaia DR…

A Candidate for the Least-massive Black Hole in the First 1.1 Billion Years of the Universe
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/aca9d3 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942L..17O

Ho, Luis C.; Inoue, Akio K.; Jiang, Linhua +6 more

We report a candidate of a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN) at z = 5 that was selected from the first near-infrared images of the JWST CEERS project. This source, named CEERS-AGN-z5-1 at absolute 1450 Å magnitude M 1450 = -19.5 ± 0.3, was found via a visual selection of compact sources from a catalog of Lyman break galaxies …

A reflective, metal-rich atmosphere for GJ 1214b from its JWST phase curve

There are no planets intermediate in size between Earth and Neptune in our Solar System, yet these objects are found around a substantial fraction of other stars1. Population statistics show that close-in planets in this size range bifurcate into two classes on the basis of their radii2,3. It is proposed that the group with l…

Cosmicflows-4
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/ac94d8 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...944...94T

Anand, Gagandeep S.; Blakeslee, John P.; Tully, R. Brent +14 more

With Cosmicflows-4, distances are compiled for 55,877 galaxies gathered into 38,065 groups. Eight methodologies are employed, with the largest numbers coming from the correlations between the photometric and kinematic properties of spiral galaxies (TF) and elliptical galaxies (FP). Supernovae that arise from degenerate progenitors (type Ia SNe) ar…

Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). I. Overview of the Program and First Results
DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/acd384 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...951....8O

Kwon, Woojin; Lai, Shih-Ping; Han, Ilseung +34 more

We present an overview of the Large Program, "Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk)," conducted with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The ubiquitous detections of substructures, particularly rings and gaps, in protoplanetary disks around T Tauri stars raise the possibility that at least some planet formation may …

Star formation at the smallest scales: a JWST study of the clump populations in SMACS0723
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3791 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.520.2180C

Mahler, Guillaume; Richard, Johan; Adamo, Angela +3 more

We present the clump populations detected in 18 lensed galaxies at redshifts 1--8.5 within the lensing cluster field SMACS0723. The recent JWST Early Release Observations of this poorly known region of the sky have revealed numerous point-like sources within and surrounding their host galaxies, undetected in the shallower Hubble Space Telescope im…

galstreams: A library of Milky Way stellar stream footprints and tracks
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad321 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.520.5225M

Mateu, Cecilia

Nearly a hundred stellar streams have been found to date around the Milky Way and the number keeps growing at an ever faster pace. Here we present the galstreams library, a compendium of angular position, distance, proper motion, and radial velocity track data for nearly a hundred (95) Galactic stellar streams. The information published in the lit…

First Sample of Hα+[O III]λ5007 Line Emitters at z > 6 Through JWST/NIRCam Slitless Spectroscopy: Physical Properties and Line-luminosity Functions

Koekemoer, Anton M.; Pirzkal, Nor; Gennaro, Mario +26 more

We present a sample of four emission-line galaxies at z = 6.11-6.35 that were serendipitously discovered using the commissioning data for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopy mode. One of them (at z = 6.11) has been reported previously, while the others are new discoveries. These sources are selected by the…
