An Attenuation Bump at z=9.3: Probing Dust Diversity at Cosmic Dawn

Giulia Rodighiero, Santiago Álvarez-Córdoba, Michele Catone +46

We report the identification of a UV attenuation bump in the Black Pearl, a galaxy at a spectroscopic redshift of 9.3335 observed with JWST/NIRSpec as part of the ZENITH and EMBER…

A Decade-Scale Ionization Echo of Black-Hole Accretion in Galactic Nuclei

Wei-Jian Guo, Shuo Zhai, Chen Hu +16

Circumnuclear structures in active galactic nuclei respond to accretion variability over different spatial and temporal scales, but whether compact narrow-line gas responds on deca…

The Physical Conditions of Low-Mass Galaxies at z=3.5-7.0 from JWST Spectroscopy: The Behaviour of Spectral Line Ratios with Burstiness

Ryan A. Cooper, Karina I. Caputi, Alessandro Marconi +5

We present a study of the physical conditions of galaxies at redshifts , based on emission-line diagnostics of JWST NIRSpec spectra for 1889 star-forming sources spannin…

Misaligned or chaotic? A strong break of axial symmetry in the local LRD J1025 revealed with VLT/FORS2 spectropolarimetry

Francesco D'Eugenio, Gabriele Pezzulli, Roberto Maiolino +18

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact active galactic nuclei (AGN) with unusual spectral energy distributions and broad Balmer emission, candidate signposts of rapid black-hole growth…

Unsupervised selection and characterisation of Little Red Dots in JWST surveys with manifold learning

Michele Ginolfi, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Marconi +9

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact, red sources discovered at high redshift by JWST whose physical nature and selection function remain debated. We investigate whether an unsupervi…

An (in)complete NIRSpec census of Balmer absorption in Type 1 AGN -- radiation-driven outflows in little red dots, quasars and variable stars

Ignas Juodžbalis, Xihan Ji, Francesco D'Eugenio +17

A notable achievement of the first generation of JWST surveys was the discovery of an abundance of faint high-redshift () broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the $L_{…

The Pristine HeII Emitter near GN-z11: Constraining the Mass Distribution of the First Stars

Elka Rusta, Stefania Salvadori, Roberto Maiolino +6

The properties of the first metal-free stars remain largely unknown, and so far, the only data-driven constraints on their mass distribution (IMF) come from near-field cosmology. H…

The search for Population III: Confirmation of a HeII emitter with no metal lines at z=10.6

Roberto Maiolino, Hannah Übler, Michele Perna +49

We report the confirmation of a HeII1640 emitter located at 3 pkpc from the galaxy GN-z11, at z=10.6. The detection, based on JWST NIRSpec-IFU high-resolution spectroscopy, conf…

Milky-Way-like stars in a galaxy core 8 billion years ago revealed by gravitational lensing

Quirino D'Amato, Filippo Mannucci, Alessandro Sonnenfeld +40

The assembly of stellar-dominated cores in elliptical galaxies is key to understanding how cosmic structures evolved. Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into the nature o…

Metal-polluted Population III galaxies and How to Find Them

Elka Rusta, Stefania Salvadori, Viola Gelli +4

Observing Population III (hereafter PopIII) galaxies, the hosts of first-generation stars, remains challenging even with the JWST. The current few candidates have been identified t…

Linking high-z and low-z: Are We Observing the Progenitors of the Milky Way with JWST?

Elka Rusta, Stefania Salvadori, Viola Gelli +2

The recent JWST observation of the Firefly Sparkle at offers a unique opportunity to link the high- and the low- Universe. Indeed, the claim of it being a Milky Way (MW)…

MAGNUM survey: Compact jets causing large turmoil in galaxies -- Enhanced line widths perpendicular to radio jets as tracers of jet-ISM interaction

G. Venturi, G. Cresci, A. Marconi +10

Outflows accelerated by AGN are commonly observed in the form of coherent, mildly collimated high-velocity gas directed along the AGN ionisation cones and kinetically powerful (>$1…

High-Velocity Bipolar Molecular Emission from an AGN Torus

Jack F. Gallimore, Moshe Elitzur, Roberto Maiolino +9

We have detected in ALMA observations CO J = 6 - 5 emission from the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. The low-velocity (up to +/- 70 km/s relative to systemic) CO emission r…

An ultra-dense fast outflow in a quasar at z=2.4

R. J. Williams, R. Maiolino, Y. Krongold +4

We present Adaptive Optics assisted near-IR integral field spectroscopic observations of a luminous quasar at , previously observed as the first known example at high reds…
