CEERS Key Paper. VI. JWST/MIRI Uncovers a Large Population of Obscured AGN at High Redshifts
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acd639 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...950L...5Y

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations are powerful in identifying heavily obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) that have weak emission in other wavelengths. Data from the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope provides an excellent opportunity to perform such studies. We take advantage of the MIRI imaging data from th…

Physical Characterization of Early Galaxies in the Webb's First Deep Field SMACS J0723.3-7323
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acbf50 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...946L..35M

Stiavelli, M.; Morishita, T.

This paper highlights initial photometric analyses of JWST NIRCam imaging data in the sightline of SMACS0723, aiming to identify galaxies at redshift z > 7. By applying a conservative Lyman-break selection followed by photometric-redshift analysis and visual inspection, we identify four F090W-dropout and two F150W-dropout sources, three of whic…

Constraining the physical properties of the first lensed z 9 - 16 galaxy candidates with JWST
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac3717 Bibcode: 2023MNRAS.519.3064F

Chevallard, Jacopo; Richard, Johan; Lehnert, Matthew D. +4 more

The first deep-field observations of the JWST have immediately yielded a surprisingly large number of very high redshift candidates, pushing the frontier of observability well beyond z ≳ 10. We here present a detailed SED-fitting analysis of the 10 gravitationally lensed z ~ 9-16 galaxy candidates detected behind the galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7…

New high-precision strong lensing modeling of Abell 2744. Preparing for JWST observations
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202244575 Bibcode: 2023A&A...670A..60B

Brammer, G.; Grillo, C.; Rosati, P. +8 more

We present a new strong lensing (SL) model of the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) galaxy cluster Abell 2744, at z = 0.3072, by exploiting archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) multiband imaging and Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) follow-up spectroscopy. The lens model considers 90 spectroscopically confirmed multiple images (from 30 backgrou…

A Large Population of Faint 8 < z < 16 Galaxies Found in the First JWST NIRCam Observations of the NGDEEP Survey
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ace18d Bibcode: 2023ApJ...952L...7A

Conselice, Christopher J.; Li, Qiong; Ferreira, Leonardo +7 more

We present an early analysis on the search for high-redshift galaxies using the deepest public JWST imaging to date, the NGDEEP field. These data consist of six-band NIRCam imaging on the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Parallel 2 (HUDF-Par2), covering a total area of 6.3 arcmin2. Based on our initial reduction of the first half of this survey,…

Live to Die Another Day: The Rebrightening of AT 2018fyk as a Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/ac9f36 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...942L..33W

Liu, Z.; Merloni, A.; Rau, A. +13 more

Stars that interact with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can be either completely or partially destroyed by tides. In a partial tidal disruption event (TDE), the high-density core of the star remains intact, and the low-density outer envelope of the star is stripped and feeds a luminous accretion episode. The TDE AT 2018fyk, with an inferred blac…

An Extremely Compact, Low-mass Galaxy on its Way to Quiescence at z = 5.2
DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/acd457 Bibcode: 2023ApJ...949L..23S

Rihtaršič, Gregor; Bradač, Maruša; Asada, Yoshihisa +15 more

We report the discovery of a low-mass z = 5.200 ± 0.002 galaxy that is in the process of ceasing its star formation. The galaxy, MACS0417-z5BBG, is multiply imaged with magnification factors ~40 by the galaxy cluster MACS J0417.5-1154, observed as part of the CAnadian NIRISS Unbiased Cluster Survey (CANUCS). Using observations of MACS0417-z5BBG wi…

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…

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 …
