Closing in on the sources of cosmic reionization: First results from the GLASS-JWST program
Vulcani, B.; Bradač, M.; Brammer, G. +29 more
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
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
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
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 …
Morpheus Reveals Distant Disk Galaxy Morphologies with JWST: The First AI/ML Analysis of JWST Images
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
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…
Deciphering the extreme X-ray variability of the nuclear transient eRASSt J045650.3−203750. A likely repeating partial tidal disruption event
Gromadzki, M.; Liu, Z.; Buchner, J. +17 more
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…
Gaia DR3 view of dynamical substructure in the stellar halo near the Sun
Ruiz-Lara, Tomás; Helmi, Amina; Matsuno, Tadafumi +4 more
Context. Debris from past merger events is expected and also known, to some extent, to populate the stellar halo near the Sun.
Aims: We aim to identify and characterise such merger debris using Gaia DR3 data supplemented with metallicity and chemical abundance data from LAMOST LRS and APOGEE for halo stars within 2.5 kpc from the Sun.
Me…
An empirical model of the Gaia DR3 selection function
Hogg, David W.; Casey, Andrew R.; Rix, Hans-Walter +12 more
Interpreting and modelling astronomical catalogues requires an understanding of the catalogues' completeness or selection function: what properties determine an object's probability of being including in the catalogue? Here we set out to empirically quantify the completeness of the overall catalogue of Gaia's third data release (DR3). This task is…
TRINITY I: self-consistently modelling the dark matter halo-galaxy-supermassive black hole connection from z = 0-10
Fan, Xiaohui; Aird, James; Yang, Jinyi +5 more
We present TRINITY, a flexible empirical model that self-consistently infers the statistical connection between dark matter haloes, galaxies, and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). TRINITY is constrained by galaxy observables from 0 < z < 10 [galaxies' stellar mass functions, specific and cosmic star formation rates (SFRs), quenched fractions…
