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…

Spatially resolved gas-phase metallicity at z~2-3 with JWST/NIRISS

Ayan Acharyya, Peter J. Watson, Benedetta Vulcani +24

Spatially resolved gas-phase metallicity maps are a crucial element in understanding the chemical evolution of galaxies. We present spatially resolved metallicity maps obtained fro…

The short and long of iPhoton science for a boosted Hubble

Stephan R. McCandliss, Jack Ford, Anne E. Jaskot +7

Boosting the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) will provide unique opportunities to carry out precursor science for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). Chief among them are science…

HST's Deep Blue: extremely deep UV imaging to reveal the contributors to reionization

Ilias Goovaerts, Alexander Beckett, Matthew Hayes +12

Understanding galaxy evolution in the epoch of reionization and the effect these galaxies had on the transformation of the intergalactic medium from neutral to ionized, is a key go…
