The Mass-Metallicity Relation and its Observational Effects at z~3-6
Zach Lewis, Michael V. Maseda, Anna de Graaff +21
The correlation between galaxy stellar mass and gas-phase metallicity, known as the mass-metallicity relation (MZR), gives key insights into the processes that govern galaxy evolut…

We use the DAWN JWST Archive to construct and characterise a sample of 146 little red dots (LRDs) across 2.0<z<9.3, selecting all sources with v-shaped UV-optical continua from NIR…
Where Galaxies Go to Die: The Environments of Massive Quiescent Galaxies at
Ian McConachie, Anna de Graaff, Michael V. Maseda +25
At low redshift, massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs) are most frequently found in massive, rich galaxy clusters, but at high redshift the trend is less clear. Here, we present spectr…

One of the most surprising results of early James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations is the discovery of an abundance of red, compact, broad-line objects dubbed "little red d…
The Nature of Post-Starburst Galaxies: Real Deal or Masquerading Impostors?
Elia Cenci, Robert Feldmann, Sarah Wellons +7
Post-starburst galaxies (PSBs) are a population of galaxies with spectral and photometric features indicative of rapid quenching following a recent starburst. The origin and nature…
SQuIGGE: Buried star formation cannot explain the rapidly fading CO(2-1) luminosity in massive, post-starburst galaxies
David J. Setton, Justin S. Spilker, Rachel Bezanson +12
Observational and theoretical studies have long held that rapid gas consumption in starbursts is responsible for the formation of quiescent galaxies. However, studies of recently q…
RUBIES spectroscopically confirms the high number density of quiescent galaxies from
Yunchong Zhang, Anna de Graaff, David J. Setton +21
We present the number density of massive () quiescent galaxies at using JWST NIRSpec PRISM spectra. This work relies on spectra fr…
Quenching Through Tidal Gas Removal: Molecular Gas and Star Formation in Tidal Tails of z ~ 0.7 Post-Starburst Galaxies
Vincenzo R. D'Onofrio, Justin S. Spilker, Rachel Bezanson +10
The active suppression of star formation in galaxies is critical in preventing the growth of overly massive systems and explaining the formation of present-day elliptical galaxies.…
MINERVA: A NIRCam Medium Band and MIRI Imaging Survey to Unlock the Hidden Gems of the Distant Universe
Adam Muzzin, Katherine A. Suess, Danilo Marchesini +81
We present an overview of the MINERVA survey, a 259.8 hour (prime) and 127 hour (parallel) Cycle 4 treasury program on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). MINERVA is obtaining 8…
Unusually High Gas-to-Dust Ratios Observed in High-Redshift Quiescent Galaxies
Justin S. Spilker, Katherine E. Whitaker, Desika Narayanan +15
Tracking the cold molecular gas contents of galaxies is critical to understand the interplay between star formation and galaxy growth across cosmic time. Observations of the long-w…
