Mature but Still Growing: JWST Detection of the Earliest Intracluster Light at z ~ 2

Hyungjin Joo, M. James Jee, Kyle Finner +6

We present a JWST analysis of intracluster light (ICL) in XLSSC 122 at z = 1.98, currently the most distant known strong lensing galaxy cluster with an evolved member population. U…

An Active Galaxy Cluster Merger at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST Weak Lensing and Multiwavelength Probes

Zachary P. Scofield, Kyle Finner, Hyungjin Joo +8

The galaxy cluster XLSSC~122 is a rare system at , hosting surprisingly evolved member galaxies when the Universe was only one-third of its present age. Leveraging deep J…

How Dust Models Shape High-z Galaxy Morphology: Insights from the NewCluster Simulation

Gyeong-Hwan Byun, J. K. Jang, Zachary P. Scofield +10

Dust plays a pivotal role in shaping the observed morphology of galaxies. While traditional cosmological simulations often assume a fixed dust-to-gas (DTG) or dust-to-metal (DTM) m…

Precision MARS Mass Reconstruction of Abell 2744: Synergizing the Largest Strong Lensing and Densest Weak Lensing Datasets from JWST

Sangjun Cha, Kim HyeongHan, Zachary P. Scofield +2

We present a new high-resolution free-form mass model of Abell 2744, combining both weak-lensing (WL) and strong-lensing (SL) datasets from JWST. The SL dataset comprises 286 multi…

Infrared Effects and the Unruh State

Paul R. Anderson, Shohreh Gholizadeh Siahmazgi, Zachary P. Scofield

Detailed behaviors of the modes of quantized scalar fields in the Unruh state for various eternal black holes in two dimensions are investigated. It is shown that the late-time beh…

Linear growth of the two-point function for the Unruh state in dimensional black holes

Paul R. Anderson, Zachary P. Scofield, Jennie Traschen

The symmetric two-point function for a massless, minimally coupled scalar field in the Unruh state is examined for Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime in two dimensions. This functio…
