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…
Hidden in Pixels I: Discovery of dual "little red dots" indicates excess clustering on kilo-parsec scales
Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Kazuhiro Shimasaku +56
``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs) are an abundant high-redshift population newly discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and considered to be an early growth phase of supermas…
16 new quasars at the end of the reionization unveiled by self-supervised learning
L. N. MartÃnez-RamÃrez, Julien Wolf, Silvia Belladitta +8
Luminous quasars at are key probes of early supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth, massive galaxy evolution, and intergalactic medium properties during cosmic reionization.…
MIGHTEE/COSMOS-3D: The discovery of three spectroscopically confirmed radio-selected star-forming galaxies at z=4.9-5.6
R. G. Varadaraj, A. Saxena, S. Fakiolas +10
Radio observations offer a dust-independent probe of star formation and active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity, but sufficiently deep data are required to access the crossover lumi…
Clustering of z~6.6 Quasars and [O III] Emitters Constrains Host Halo Masses and Duty Cycles in 25 ASPIRE Fields
Jiamu Huang, Joseph Hennawi, Elia Pizzati +21
We use data from the JWST ASPIRE Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy (WFSS) program to measure the auto-correlation function of [O,{\sc iii}] emitters at 5.37.0 and the quasar--[…
E-XQR-30: Evidence for an Increase in the Ionization State of Metal Absorbers from z~6 to z~2
Stephanie Rowlands, R. L. Davies, E. Ryan-Weber +15
We investigate the evolution of the ionization state of metal-enriched gas in and around galaxies near the epoch of reionization using a sample of 488 metal absorption systems at 4…
