The cold interstellar medium of a normal sub-L⋆ galaxy at the end of reionization
Schaerer, D.; Magdis, G. E.; Bauer, F. E. +21 more
We present the results of a ∼60-h multiband observational campaign with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array targeting a spectroscopically confirmed and lensed sub-L⋆ galaxy at z = 6.07, first identified during the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS). We sampled the dust continuum emission from rest frame 90-370 µm at six different f…
Medium-resolution 0.97–5.3 µm Spectra of Very Young Benchmark Brown Dwarfs with NIRSpec on Board the James Webb Space Telescope
Manjavacas, Elena; Giardino, G.; Valenti, Jeff +7 more
Spectra of young benchmark brown dwarfs with well-known ages are vital to characterize other brown dwarfs, for which ages are in general not known. These spectra are also crucial to test atmospheric models, which have the potential to provide detailed information about the atmospheres of these objects. However, to test atmospheric models optimally…
Charting the main sequence of star-forming galaxies out to redshifts z ≲ 5.7
McLure, R. J.; Dunlop, J. S.; Michałowski, M. J. +4 more
We present a new determination of the star-forming main sequence (MS), obtained through stacking 100k K-band-selected galaxies in the far-infrared (FIR) Herschel and James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) imaging. By fitting the dust emission curve to the stacked FIR photometry, we derive the IR luminosities (LIR), and hence the star form…
Deciphering the imprint of active galactic nucleus feedback in Seyfert galaxies: Nuclear-scale molecular gas deficits
Stalevski, M.; Zhang, L.; Combes, F. +26 more
We study the distribution of cold molecular gas in the circumunuclear disks (CND; r ≤ 200 pc) of a sample of 64 nearby (DL = 7 ‑ 45 Mpc) disk galaxies – including 45 active galactic nuclei (AGN) and 19 nonAGN – for which high-spatial-resolution (median value ≃36 pc) multiline CO interferometer observations have been obtained at millimet…
JWST MIRI and NIRCam unveil previously unseen infrared stellar populations in NGC 6822
Temim, Tea; Hirschauer, Alec S.; Boyer, Martha L. +9 more
NGC 6822 is a nearby (~490 kpc) non-interacting low-metallicity (0.2 Z⊙) dwarf galaxy which hosts several prominent H II regions, including sites of highly embedded active star formation. In this work, we present an imaging survey of NGC 6822 conducted with the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) onboard JWS…
Hints of point-symmetric structures in SN 1987A: The jittering jets explosion mechanism
Soker, Noam
I identify a point-symmetric structure composed of three pairs of clumps in the recently released JWST image of the ejecta of SN 1987A and argue that these pairs of clumps support the jittering jets explosion mechanism (JJEM) for SN 1987A. I compare this point-symmetric structure with the multipolar-lobe morphology of a post-asymptotic giant branc…
Emergence of high-mass stars in complex fiber networks (EMERGE). I. Early ALMA Survey: Observations and massive data reduction
Burkert, A.; Alves, J.; Goicoechea, J. R. +10 more
Context. Recent molecular surveys have revealed the rich gas organization of sonic-like filaments at small scales (so-called fibers) in all types of environments prior to the formation of low- and high-mass stars. These fibers form at the end of the turbulent cascade and are identified as the fine substructure within the hierarchical nature of the…
Environmental Effects on the Stellar Mass Function in a z ∼ 3.3 Overdensity of Galaxies in the COSMOS Field
Cooper, M. C.; Urbano Stawinski, Stephanie M.; Hathi, Nimish +17 more
We present an analysis of the number density of galaxies as a function of stellar mass (i.e., the stellar mass function (SMF)) in the COSMOS field at z ∼ 3.3, making a comparison between the SMF in overdense environments and the SMF in the coeval field. In particular, this region contains the Elentári proto-supercluster, a system of six extended o…
VELOcities of CEpheids (VELOCE). I. High-precision radial velocities of Cepheids
Spetsieri, Zoi T.; Anderson, Richard I.; Cruz Reyes, Mauricio +27 more
We present the first data release of VELOcities of CEpheids (VELOCE), dedicated to measuring the high-precision radial velocities (RVs) of Galactic classical Cepheids (henceforth, Cepheids). The first data release (VELOCE DR1) comprises 18 225 RV measurements of 258 bona fide classical Cepheids on both hemispheres collected mainly between 2010 and…
Active Dwarf Galaxy Database. I. Overlap between Active Galactic Nuclei Selected by Different Techniques
Wasleske, Erik J.; Baldassare, Vivienne F.
We assemble a sample of 733 dwarf galaxies (M * ≤ 109.5 M ⊙) with signatures of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and explore the intersection between different AGN-selection techniques. Objects in our database are compiled from previous studies that identify AGN in dwarf galaxies through spectroscopy, X-ray emission, i…
