We present a combined strong and weak gravitational lensing mass model of the massive merging galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). The mass reconstruction combines strong-lensing…
Observing population III stars in the pristine region
Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Diego, Jose M. Palencia
The detection of the long-sought Population III (Pop III) stars is, perhaps, one of the most intriguing missing links in modern astronomy. Caustic crossing events (CCE) -- extreme…
JWST evidence for a sharp "Cosmic Daybreak" at z = 15
Jiashuo Zhang, Tom Broadhurst, Tzihong Chiueh +9
Luminous young galaxies have been uncovered with relative ease by JWST, extending to z=14.5, so it is puzzling that deeper spectroscopy of fainter candidates now finds only interlo…

NuSTAR and XMM-Newton have observed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Time-Domain Field (TDF) for almost five contiguous years starting in 2019. In th…
Constraints on the Pop III Sky Surface Brightness from High-Redshift Caustic Transients in MACS0416

We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of PJ0846+15, \textit{The Koi Pond}, a strongly lensed protocluster core at Cosm…
Gamma Rays from ALP-Photon Conversion and Inverse Compton Reprocessing in Neutron Star Magnetospheres
Federica Giacchino, Conrado A. Torres, Giorgio Galanti +3
Exploring axion-like particle (ALP) signatures from neutron stars (NSs) in the \emph{Fermi}-LAT energy range remains largely unexplored. Neutron stars with exceptionally strong mag…
The Subversive Role of Excessive External Shear in Concealing Lensing Anomalies
Amruth Alfred, Shashpal Singh, Rommulus Francis Lewis +5
To best reproduce observed multiply-lensed lensed images, lens models usually incorporate shear attributed to objects unrelated to the lensing galaxy (i.e., external shear): whethe…
Tilting at the Turnover: Modeling the Faint-End of the UV Luminosity Function Behind Abell s1063 with JWST
Caio Moreira Goolsby, Christopher J. Conselice, Duncan Austin +6
We leverage the strong gravitational field of Abell S1063 to identify faint, highly magnified galaxies using ultra-deep James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam imaging from the GL…
A Cosmic Archipelago of lensed metal-poor galaxies at
A. Bolamperti, M. Messa, A. Zanella +21
The Cosmic Archipelago is an ensemble of galaxies, strongly lensed by the cluster MACSJ0416, showing extreme physical properties at . We combine JWST/NIRCam with deep VL…
Other red dots: A possible GLIMPSE of normal AGB stars at Cosmic Noon through extreme lensing
Lukas J. Furtak, Adi Zitrin, Erik Zackrisson +18
We report the discovery of four extremely faint () red point sources in recent ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell…
First Statistical Study of Over 100 Magnified Stellar Events at Redshift with JWST
J. M. Palencia, Fengwu Sun, J. M. Diego +25
Highly magnified stars at cosmological distances () become detectable thanks to microlensing by intracluster stars near the critical curves of galaxy clusters. Multi…
PEARLS: Two Distinct Populations of AGN Hosts Moving Between Star Formation and Quiescence
Gibson B. Bowling, Rafael Ortiz, S. P. Willner +29
We present the results of AGN--host-galaxy decomposition using JWST/NIRCam, HST/ACS, and HST/WFC3 imaging of the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field (NEP-TDF). The light-profiles…
Extragalactic microlensing through Ultra Diffuse Galaxies
Sung Kei Li, Thomas Broadhurst, Jose M. Diego +4
Stellar microlensing is a powerful method to constrain compact dark matter models, uncover binary stars, and exoplanets during caustic crossing events. At cosmological distances, {…
Two Exciting High-redshift Galaxy Candidates Turn Out to Be Two Exciting Ultra-cool Brown Dwarfs
Maruša Bradač, Chris Willott, Yoshihisa Asada +37
From the onset of observations of JWST we have discovered unexpectedly luminous galaxies at redshifts and as high as . With their discovery, the question immediately f…
