A Type Ia Supernova Candidate at : A Transient Interloper in the Search for Galaxies

Seiji Toshikage, Takahiro Morishita, Masaomi Tanaka +9

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is opening a new window into the distant Universe by discovering galaxies and transients in the early Universe. We investigate a high-redshift…

BEACON: JWST NIRCam Pure-parallel Imaging Survey. IV. A Systematic Search for Galaxy Overdensities and Evidence for Gas Accretion Mode Transition

Ryo Albert Sutanto, Takahiro Morishita, Tadayuki Kodama +20

We systematically search for galaxy overdensities using 20 independent fields with a minimum of six filters (F090W, F115W, F150W, F277W, F356W, and F444W) from BEACON, the JWST Cyc…

BEACON: JWST NIRCam Pure-parallel Imaging Survey. III. Constraints on the UV LF and the Clustering of z~7-14 Galaxies

Kimi C. Kreilgaard, Charlotte A. Mason, Takahiro Morishita +22

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has extended the frontier of galaxy detection to redshifts z>11, finding a high abundance of UV-bright sources that challenge theoretical mode…

A Nitrogen-rich AGN Powering a Large Ionizing Bubble at z=8.63

Takahiro Morishita, Massimo Stiavelli, Charlotte A. Mason +5

We report the detection of Ly in CANUCS-LRD-z8.6, a recently discovered AGN at z = 8.63 by Tripodi et al. (2024), in new NIRSpec/MSA G140H/F070LP observations. We detect broad…

BEACON: JWST NIRCam Pure-parallel Imaging Survey. II. Physical Properties of Galaxies

Yechi Zhang, Takahiro Morishita, Kimi C. Kreilgaard +23

We present photometric properties of 161 galaxy candidates at selected from the second data release (DR2) of BEACON, a JWST Cycle 2 pure-parallel NIRCam imaging program. C…

Parallel Application of Slitless Spectroscopy to Analyze Galaxy Evolution (PASSAGE): Survey Overview

Matthew A. Malkan, Vihang Mehta, Ayan Acharyya +49

During the second half of Cycle 1 of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we conducted the Parallel Application of Slitless Spectroscopy to Analyze Galaxy Evolution (PASSAGE) pro…
