mitigating the overcooling problem with sink-based bursty star formation in a high-z dwarf galaxy
Cheonsu Kang, Taysun Kimm, Daniel Han +4
Star formation is a fundamental driver of galaxy evolution, yet many galaxy formation models still fail to regulate it realistically, allowing gas to collapse too efficiently and o…
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…
JWST spectroscopy of galaxies at : Damped Ly absorbers reveal efficient star formation and hidden redshift biases
Kasper E. Heintz, Clara L. Pollock, Joris Witstok +23
Recent observations with JWST have revealed a remarkable population of surprisingly luminous galaxies at redshifts . Their abundance exceed predictions from simulations and e…
Little Red Dots as Intermediate Mass, Super-Eddington Engines: Insights from Type IIn Supernovae and The 1837-1856 Great Eruption of Carinae
Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Anna de Graaff +20
JWST's Little Red Dots (LRDs) display a unique constellation of features that do not occur simultaneously in any other class of galaxies or AGN. Here we observe that many of these…
RUBIES: The Evolution of the Ionization Parameter from 0 < z < 9
Nikko J. Cleri, Zach J. Lewis, Joel Leja +10
The dimensionless ionization parameter, U=q/c, where q is the ratio of the local ionizing photon flux to the local hydrogen density, is a key metric to parameterize nebular conditi…
The Missing Hard Photons of Little Red Dots: Their Incident Ionizing Spectra Resemble Massive Stars
Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Harley Katz +11
The nature of Little Red Dots (LRDs) has largely been investigated through their continuum emission, with lines assumed to arise from a broad-line region. In this paper, we instead…
