Quiescent Galaxies at from CAPERS spectroscopy and their Number densities

Lu Shen, Weida Hu, Casey Papovich +28

Recent JWST observations have revealed an overabundance of quiescent galaxies at high redshift. Photometric methods, such as photometry-derived sSFRs, colors, and synthetic $…

The THRILS Factor: Investigating the properties of Little Red Dots (LRDs) at 3<z<6 with JWST/NIRSpec

Ananya Ganapathy, Rebecca L. Larson, Erini Lambrides +20

JWST has uncovered a class of objects called LRDs, whose nature is still widely debated. In this work, we present a comprehensive spectroscopic analysis of nine LRDs in the Extende…

The gradual decline of Ly visibility in the CANDELS fields: evidence for the combined effects of galaxy evolution and reionization

L. Napolitano, L. Pentericci, A. Ferrara +35

We investigate the evolution of Ly visibility and the physical properties of Ly emitters (LAEs) across the five CANDELS fields using publicly available JWST/NIRSpec PRISM spe…

Skyfire: A Spectroscopic Census of Little Red Dots and Broad-Line AGN in the CEERS Field

Dale D. Kocevski, Anthony J. Taylor, Masafusa Onoue +24

We present the Skyfire program, a 21-hour Cycle 3 JWST/NIRSpec survey with the G395M medium-resolution grating covering five pointings in the Extended Groth Strip. The survey is de…

Ripples in the OCEANS: Broad Line Variability of Little Red Dots

Madisyn Brooks, Kelcey Davis, Jonathan R. Trump +16

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a unique class of compact, red sources discovered in the JWST extragalactic deep fields. Determining if they are indeed powered by accreting supermassive…

Implications of Broad [O III] 4364 and UV Line Emission in Two Little Red Dots at z ~ 7 - 8

Casey Papovich, Kaila Ronayne, Weida Hu +17

We present deep, NIRSpec G140M and G395M spectroscopy of Little Red Dots (LRDs) at z = 6.68 and z = 8.35. Both LRDs show broad Balmer and [O III] 4364 emission. The broad [O III…

OCEANS of Absorption: High-resolution NIRSpec Spectroscopy Reveals Diverse Balmer-line Absorption in Little Red Dots

Kelcey Davis, Madisyn Brooks, Raymond C. Simons +24

The ``Little Red Dots' (LRDs) that appeared in JWST deep field images have been the subject of significant study since their discovery. In this work, we present high-resolution fol…

Massive Galaxies Form Early and Gray: Stellar Assembly and Dust Attenuation at from CAPERS

Katherine Chworowsky, Steven L. Finkelstein, Anthony J. Taylor +27

The stellar mass assembly of massive galaxies in the first few billion years of cosmic history remains a central challenge in galaxy formation. Galaxies with $M_\star \gtrsim 10^{1…

Prevailing thermally-pulsing-asymptotic-giant branch stars in the near-infrared rest-frame spectra of distant quiescent galaxies: towards robust galaxy ages and masses

Shiying Lu, Emanuele Daddi, Claudia Maraston +12

We recently reported the discovery of prominent features from the thermally pulsing asymptotic-giant-branch (TP-AGB) phase in the rest-frame near-infrared of a massive quiescent ga…
