Ubiquitous Interstellar Neutral Helium Detected with JWST
Jane R. Rigby, D. Koutroumpa, M. Galeazzi +8
We report the discovery of ubiquitous neutral helium emission in sky spectra taken with JWST's NIRSpec instrument. The emission, with a wavelength of 1.0833 micron, resembles one o…
LEGGOS I: The JWST LEGGOS Survey -- LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures -- Unpacks the Nature of Clumpy Star Formation and Quenching in Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies beyond Cosmic Noon
Gourav Khullar, Michael Florian, Matthew B. Bayliss +34
We present first results from the JWST LEGGOS Survey (LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures), aimed at studying the physics of clumpy star formation and quenching in e…
LEGGOS II: A Strong Lens Model and Source-Plane Projection of the Clumpy Star-Forming Galaxy SGASJ111020.0+645950.8 at z=2.48
Pedram Abedi, Keren Sharon, Taylor A. Hutchison +18
Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters combined with the resolution of JWST enables studies of star formation on ~10-100 pc scales in galaxies at z~2-4. As part of the LEn…
JWST Catches a Strongly Gravitationally Lensed AGN In Transition from Type II to Type I
Michael K Florian, Michael D Gladders, Gourav Khullar +10
JWST has enabled the discovery of a statistical sample of obscured (type II) active galactic nuclei (AGN) at cosmic noon. Studies comparing those type II AGN with type I AGN at tha…
COOL-LAMPS IX: A Rare Duo of Quasars Each Lensed by a Single Massive Galaxy Cluster
Erik Solhaug, Michael D. Gladders, Andi M. Kisare +20
Wide-separation lensed quasars (WSLQs) are rare systems that arise from the chance alignment of two objects: a galaxy cluster and a background quasar. After two decades, only seven…
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…
