Mapping dark matter in the Bullet Cluster using JWST imaging and spectroscopy

Gregor Rihtaršič, Maruša Bradač, Guillaume Desprez +23

We present an updated gravitational lens model of the Bullet cluster (1E 0657-56) by combining JWST NIRCam imaging and NIRSpec spectroscopy. Although previous lens models relied on…

Little Red and Blue Dots: AGN-excited narrow lines, Lyman- emission, and resemblance to standard quasars

Sophia Geris, Roberto Maiolino, Xihan Ji +35

We present an analysis of a sample of 36 Little Red and Blue Dots (LRDs and LBDs) at , identified by JWST in the GOODS fields. While both categories are selected to ha…

A Population of Red Galaxies with Very Strong Emission Lines at Revealed by the NIRCam Medium Bands: ''Classic'' LRDs, Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies, and a Missing Population of LRDs

Sunna Withers, Adam Muzzin, Swara Ravindranath +16

The NIRCam medium-bands have proven to be efficient at identifying Emission Line Galaxies (ELGs) with high equivalent width (EW) H and [OIII]+H emission lines. In this pape…

Two Exciting High-redshift Galaxy Candidates Turn Out to Be Two Exciting Ultra-cool Brown Dwarfs

Maruša Bradač, Chris Willott, Yoshihisa Asada +37

From the onset of observations of JWST we have discovered unexpectedly luminous galaxies at redshifts and as high as . With their discovery, the question immediately f…

Holes in the BH? AGN signatures in the FUV spectrum of a black-hole dominated Little Red Dot at

Xihan Ji, Gabriele Pezzulli, Francesco D'Eugenio +15

It has been suggested that "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) might be accreting black holes enshrouded by dense gas in a nearly closed geometry, which completely covers the central black ho…

Most Strong Lensing Deflectors in the AGEL Survey Are in Group and Cluster Environments

William J. Gottemoller, Nandini Sahu, Rodrigo Cordova-Rosado +11

The environments of deflectors in strong lensing systems affect our ability to test cosmological models and constrain evolutionary properties of galaxies. Here we measure the defle…
