Low Ly Visibility in Galaxy Overdensities: Reionization Topology and Neutral-Fraction Ceilings from DIVER over
Yongda Zhu, Xiaohui Fan, Laura C. Keating +19

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a population of ``little red dots'' (LRDs) at , potentially representing early supermassive black holes embedded in…
First-star imprints in a metal-poor galaxy overdensity near the end of reionization
Zihao Li, Koki Kakiichi, Lise Christensen +24
The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), formed from primordial gas consisting solely of hydrogen and helium and is believed to have emerged only a few hun…
A Steep-Extinction Quasi-stellar Object at z=4.6: JWST Evidence for Abundant Small Dust Grains
Mingyu Li, Zheng Cai, Roberto Maiolino +9
The rapid accumulation of massive dust reservoirs in the early Universe remains a major challenge in astrophysics. While core-collapse supernovae can inject large dust grains ($a \…
Something Bright at the Edge of Everything: A Uniquely JWST-Dark Radio Source in COSMOS
Mingyu Li
For decades, astronomers have been searching for bright radio sources deep into the epoch of reionization (EoR). The most distant, powerful radio sources are expected to reside in…
COSMOS-3D: Black Hole Mass Estimators and Luminosity Functions of Paschen-line AGNs
Danyang Jiang, Linhua Jiang, Shuqi Fu +13
Near-IR Paschen lines are potentially an excellent tracer of Type 1 AGNs that is hardly affected by dust extinction. JWST allows us, for the first time, to explore Paschen-line obj…
