Deep Spectroscopic Follow-Up of Maisie's Galaxy -- A Typical Galaxy in the Early Universe

Rebecca L. Larson, Taylor A. Hutchison, Steven L. Finkelstein +26

The first several years of JWST observations have yielded surprisingly large numbers of bright galaxies, with follow-up spectroscopy of many of these sources implying extrem…

The quasi-star model for Little Red Dots: potential and challenges

Fabrizio Gentile, Mauro Giavalisco, Emanuele Daddi +25

(Abridged) Little Red Dots (LRDs) are a class of sources discovered by JWST observationally defined by a "V-shaped" rest-frame UV-Optical SED, a compact or unresolved morphology, a…

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…

Empirical estimates of how massive galaxies can be in ΛCDM

Miguel Enríquez-Vargas, Aldo Rodríguez-Puebla, Aditya Manuwal +3

Using Extreme Value Statistics applied to the observed galaxy stellar mass and the UV luminosity functions, we empirically estimate masses and luminosities of the most extreme gala…

Using Ly Transmitted Spectrum to Probe IGM Transmission and Identify Ionized Structures in Cosmic Reionization

Weida Hu, Casey Papovich, Lu Shen +16

We present a study of intergalactic medium (IGM) transmission at using high-signal-to-noise JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of 143 galaxies at from the CAPE…

The GlimmIr: Spectroscopic Variability in a z~7 LRD Indicates Rapid Changes in Both the Narrow and Broad Line Regions

Erini Lambrides, Taylor A. Hutchison, Rebecca L. Larson +39

The enigmatic population of ``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs) sit at the center of some of the largest debates in extragalactic astronomy today. The source(s) of ionizing emission and the…
