JWST spectroscopy of galaxies at : Damped Ly absorbers reveal efficient star formation and hidden redshift biases
Kasper E. Heintz, Clara L. Pollock, Joris Witstok +23
Recent observations with JWST have revealed a remarkable population of surprisingly luminous galaxies at redshifts . Their abundance exceed predictions from simulations and e…
Chemical signatures from the first stars embedded in metal-poor gas in galaxies at cosmic dawn
Clara L. Pollock, Kasper E. Heintz, Elka Rusta +15
The first generation of stars formed from pristine, neutral hydrogen gas. The most massive of these exploded as supernovae within a few million years of their birth, producing the…
A hot, nebular-dominated galaxy interacting with a pristine PopIII system uncovered by JWST
Henriette Reumert, Kasper E. Heintz, Clara L. Pollock +6
The discovery of galaxies with extremely strong nebular continuum emission at high redshifts provide novel, unique insights into the conditions under which the first super-massive…
Characterising Ly damping wings at the onset of reionisation: Evidence for highly efficient star formation driven by dense, neutral gas in UV-bright galaxies at
Clara L. Pollock, Kasper E. Heintz, Joris Witstok +23
One of the major conundrums in contemporary extragalactic astrophysics is the apparent overabundance of a remarkable population of UV-bright galaxies at redshifts . We…
All the Massive Galaxy Overdensities during Reionization: JWST Rest-Frame Optical Selection Reveals Young, Chemically Evolved Galaxies Embedded in Dense, Neutral Gas at z > 5
Chamilla Terp, Kasper E. Heintz, Jorryt Matthee +7
The high-redshift progenitors of present-day galaxy clusters are believed to substantially contribute to the global star-formation rate density and drive the large-scale reionizati…
A Cosmic Miracle: A Remarkably Luminous Galaxy at Confirmed with JWST
Rohan P. Naidu, Pascal A. Oesch, Gabriel Brammer +43
JWST has revealed a stunning population of bright galaxies at surprisingly early epochs, , where few such sources were expected. Here we present the most distant example of t…
