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…
Cosmic Himalayas: The Highest Quasar Density Peak Identified in a 10,000 deg Sky with Spatial Discrepancies between Galaxies, Quasars, and IGM HI
Yongming Liang, Masami Ouchi, Dongsheng Sun +27
We report the identification of a quasar overdensity in the BOSSJ0210 field, dubbed Cosmic Himalayas, consisting of 11 quasars at , the densest overdensity of quasars…
Identification of 40 gravitationally magnified stars in a galaxy at redshift of 0.725
Yoshinobu Fudamoto, Fengwu Sun, Jose M. Diego +44
Strong gravitational magnifications enable to detect faint background sources, resolve their internal structures, and even identify individual stars in distant galaxies. Highly mag…
QSO MUSEUM II: Search for extended Ly emission around eight quasar pairs
Eileen Herwig, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia, Jay González Lobos +7
Extended Ly emission is routinely found around single quasars (QSO) across cosmic time. However, few studies have investigated how such emission changes in fields with physical…
Merian: A Wide-Field Imaging Survey of Dwarf Galaxies at z~0.06-0.10
Shany Danieli, Erin Kado-Fong, Song Huang +32
We present the Merian Survey, an optical imaging survey optimized for studying the physical properties of bright star-forming dwarf galaxies. Merian is carried out with two medium-…
A SPectroscopic survey of biased halos In the Reionization Era (ASPIRE): JWST Supports Earlier Reionization around [OIII] Emitters
Xiangyu Jin, Jinyi Yang, Xiaohui Fan +22
Understanding when and how reionization happened is crucial for studying the early structure formation and the properties of first galaxies in the Universe. At , the observe…
