Quasar Impostors: Two Extremely UV-Bright () Reionisation-Epoch Galaxies Powered by Very Massive Stars
Daming Yang, Joseph F. Hennawi, Sarah E. I. Bosman +20
The extreme bright end of the galaxy UV luminosity function during reionisation remains poorly constrained, particularly where the galaxy and quasar luminosity functions overlap an…
Euclid: A UV-faint quasar in a highly luminous star-forming host galaxy at
S. Belladitta, R. Decarli, E. Bañados +180
Constraining the co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies in the first billion years after the Big Bang is essential for understanding the formation of the…
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…
ASPIRE: The Environments and Dark Matter Halos of Luminous Quasars in the Epoch of Reionization
Feige Wang, Jaclyn B. Champagne, Jiamu Huang +42
We present a systematic study of the environments of 25 luminous quasars at from the ASPIRE program. Using JWST/NIRCam WFSS data, we identified 487 galaxies at $5.3 \less…
SKAVLBI view of AGN jets in the early Universe
C. Spingola, M. Mezcua, Y. Liu +33
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are among the brightest sources in the Universe, and those that are also jetted are uniquely valuable at the earliest epochs, because their relativisti…
Aether-SHELLQs: JWST integral-field spectroscopy of candidate obscured quasars at z ~ 6
Yoshiki Matsuoka, Roberto Decarli, Emanuele Paolo Farina +12
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec integral field unit (IFU) observations of six galaxies at , obtained as part of the Aether project (General Observers…
