The HST-Hyperion Survey: Environmental Imprints on the Stellar-Mass Function at z~2.5

Derek Sikorski, Ben Forrest, Brian C. Lemaux +19

Not all galaxies at Cosmic Noon evolve in the same way. It remains unclear how the local environment -- especially the extreme overdensities of protoclusters -- affects stellar mas…

Optical Strong Line Ratios Cannot Distinguish Between Stellar Populations and Accreting Black Holes at High Ionization Parameters and Low Metallicities

Nikko J. Cleri, Grace M. Olivier, Bren E. Backhaus +24

High-redshift observations from JWST indicate that optical strong line ratios do not carry the same constraining power as they do at low redshifts. Critically, this prevents a sepa…

Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization Are All Bark and No Bite -- Plenty of Ionizing Photons, Low Escape Fractions

Casey Papovich, Justin W. Cole, Weida Hu +27

Early results from JWST suggest that epoch-of-reionization (EoR) galaxies produce copious ionizing photons, which, if they escape efficiently, could cause reionization to occur too…
