The Rise and Fall of Acoustic Oscillations at Cosmic Dawn
Hector Afonso G. Cruz, Gabriele Montefalcone, Julian B. Muñoz +2
Cosmic dawn 21-cm observations will extend standard-ruler cosmology into the first billion years, unlocking epochs inaccessible by the cosmic microwave background and large-scale s…
How can we finally see the first light? Status and perspective in the search for Population III stars
Alessandra Venditti, Daniel Schaerer, Erik Zackrisson +28
Finding the first (Population III or Pop III) stars is one of the fundamental quests of astronomy, aiming to deliver the missing link in how stars form at early cosmic times. Yet t…
Possible chemical signatures of first-star enrichment in a very metal-poor galaxy overdensity near the end of reionization
Zihao Li, Koki Kakiichi, Lise Christensen +24
The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), formed from primordial gas consisting solely of hydrogen and helium and is believed to have emerged only a few hun…
Catching the Nebular Needle in a Polluted Haystack: Line-emission Signatures from Population III-forming Pockets around Massive Galaxies at the End of Reionization
Alessandra Venditti, Luca Graziani, Raffaella Schneider +10
Finding the first generation of (Population III or Pop III) stars is one of the most ambitious and exciting challenges of astrophysics. JWST opened concrete prospects for their det…
Resolving galaxy formation in the early Universe with BonFIRE and CampFIRE
Jenna Samuel, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Robert Feldmann +16
The abundance and rapid growth of galaxies at cosmic dawn revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope challenges models of galaxy formation, motivating new simulations to uncover th…
Metal Mayhem at : Diversity and Evolution of Gas-Phase Metallicity Gradients
Maria Koller, Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Ãbler +16
We present a JWST/NIRSpec-IFU study of metallicity gradients in seven low-metallicity systems at . The main sample spans stellar masses of $\rm \log(M_*/M_{\odot}) \sim…
