JADES Dark Horse: demonstrating high-multiplex observations with JWST/NIRSpec dense-shutter spectroscopy in the JADES Origins Field

Francesco D'Eugenio, Erica J. Nelson, Daniel J. Eisenstein +40

We present JWST/NIRSpec dense-shutter spectroscopy (DSS). This novel observing strategy with the NIRSpec/MSA deliberately permits a high number of controlled spectral overlaps to r…

The warm outer layer of a Little Red Dot as the source of [Fe II] and collisional Balmer lines with scattering wings

Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Gabriele Pezzulli +22

The population of the Little Red Dots (LRDs) may represent a key phase of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. A cocoon of dense excited gas is emerging as key component to expla…

Irony at z=6.68: a bright AGN with forbidden Fe emission and multi-component Balmer absorption

Francesco D'Eugenio, Erica Nelson, Xihan Ji +11

We present the deepest medium-resolution JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy to date of a bright Little Red Dot (LRD) AGN, Irony at z=6.68. The data reveal broad Balmer emission from H-H$…

JWST+ALMA reveal the build up of stellar mass in the cores of dusty star-forming galaxies at Cosmic Noon

Sarah Bodansky, Katherine E. Whitaker, Ayesha Abdullah +14

Dusty star-forming galaxies have long been suspected to serve as the missing evolutionary bridge between the star-forming and quiescent phases of massive galaxy evolution. With the…

The Stellar Populations and Rest-Frame Colors of Star-Forming Galaxies at : Exploring the Impact of Filter Choice and Star Formation History Assumption with JADES

Jakob M. Helton, Stacey Alberts, George H. Rieke +30

Our understanding of the physical properties of star-forming galaxies during the Epoch of Reionization (EoR, at ) suffers from degeneracies among the apparent properties of…

JADES and BlackTHUNDER: rest-frame Balmer-line absorption and the local environment in a Little Red Dot at z = 5

Francesco D'Eugenio, Ignas Juodžbalis, Xihan Ji +32

We present a broad-line AGN at z=5.077, observed with both NIRSpec/MSA and NIRSpec/IFU by the JADES and BlackTHUNDER surveys. The target exhibits all the hallmark features of a 'Li…

Big, Dusty Galaxies in Blue Jay: Insights into the Relationship Between Morphology and Dust Attenuation at Cosmic Noon

Gabriel Maheson, Sandro Tacchella, Sirio Belli +10

The dust attenuation of galaxies is highly diverse and closely linked to stellar population properties and the star dust geometry, yet its relationship to galaxy morphology remains…

A "Black Hole Star" Reveals the Remarkable Gas-Enshrouded Hearts of the Little Red Dots

Rohan P. Naidu, Jorryt Matthee, Harley Katz +48

The physical processes that led to the formation of billion solar mass black holes within the first 700 million years of cosmic time remain a puzzle. Several theoretical scenarios…

A remarkable Ruby: Absorption in dense gas, rather than evolved stars, drives the extreme Balmer break of a Little Red Dot at

Anna de Graaff, Hans-Walter Rix, Rohan P. Naidu +25

The origin of the rest-optical emission of compact, red, high-redshift sources known as `little red dots' (LRDs) poses a major puzzle. If interpreted as starlight, it would imply t…

BlackTHUNDER strikes twice: rest-frame Balmer-line absorption and high Eddington accretion rate in a Little Red Dot at

Francesco D'Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Michele Perna +29

JWST has revealed a population of 'Little Red Dots' (LRDs): compact, red objects at redshifts z=2-9 with 'v'-shaped spectral energy distributions, broad permitted lines, and, often…

A Tentative Detection of Molecular Hydrogen (H) Emission Lines at Cosmic Dawn

Madisen Johnson, Blakesley Burkhart, Francesco D'Eugenio +11

We present a theoretical framework for interpreting far-ultraviolet (FUV) fluorescent emission from molecular hydrogen (H) in high-redshift galaxies, motivated by the unique ca…

The Evolution of Half-Mass Radii and Color Gradients for Young and Old Quiescent Galaxies at with JWST/PRIMER

Maike Clausen, Ivelina Momcheva, Katherine E. Whitaker +12

We present a study of the size growth of the red sequence between tracing the evolution of quiescent galaxies in both effective half-light and half-mass radii using mult…
