A massive barred spiral galaxy at z = 5.102 discovered by JWST

Xiaohan Wang, Fengwu Sun, Yoshihisa Asada +21

We report M1149-BSG-z5, a barred spiral galaxy at , identified in the parallel field of MACS J1149+2223 with JWST and HST. M1149-BSG-z5 is the highest redshift barred ga…

JWST's PEARLS: A clumpy ring galaxy at

David Vizgan, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Ian Smail +22

Ring galaxies are an uncommon class of galaxies whose morphology is closely related to dynamical processes that govern galaxy evolution. Some ring galaxies, known as "collisional r…

PEARLS: Two Distinct Populations of AGN Hosts Moving Between Star Formation and Quiescence

Gibson B. Bowling, Rafael Ortiz, S. P. Willner +29

We present the results of AGN--host-galaxy decomposition using JWST/NIRCam, HST/ACS, and HST/WFC3 imaging of the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field (NEP-TDF). The light-profiles…

PEARLS: 21 Transients Found in the Three-Epoch NIRCam Observations in the Continuous Viewing Zone of the James Webb Space Telescope

Haojing Yan, Bangzheng Sun, Zhiyuan Ma +39

We present 21 transients from our three-epoch, four-band NIRCam observations covering 14.16 arcmin^2 in the Spitzer IRAC Dark Field (IDF), taken by the JWST Prime Extragalactic Are…

JWST's PEARLS: A z=6 quasar in a train-wreck galaxy merger system

Madeline A. Marshall, Rogier A. Windhorst, Giovanni Ferrami +35

We present JWST NIRSpec integral field spectroscopy observations of the z=5.89 quasar NDWFS J1425+3254 from 0.6-5.3 microns, covering the rest-frame ultraviolet and optical at a sp…

Lonely Little Red Dots: Challenges to the AGN-nature of little red dots through their clustering and spectral energy distributions

María Carranza-Escudero, Christopher J. Conselice, Nathan Adams +31

Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal a previously unseen population of compact red objects, known as ``little red dots`` (LRDs). We study a new photometri…
