Lensed stars in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing -- a JWST prediction for the Cosmic Horseshoe

Sung Kei Li, Luke Weisenbach, Thomas E. Collett +10

We explore for the first time the possibility of detecting lensed star transients in galaxy-galaxy strong lensing systems upon repeated, deep imaging using the {\it James-Webb Spac…

Magnification bias reveals severe contamination in Hubble Frontier Field photo-z catalogs

Jiashuo Zhang, Jeremy Lim, Tom Broadhurst +4

Gravitational lensing by massive galaxy clusters enables faint distant galaxies to be more abundantly detected than in blank fields, thereby allowing one to construct galaxy lumino…

Signatures of Fuzzy Dark Matter Inside Radial Critical Curves

J. M. Palencia, Paloma Morilla, Sung Kei Li +5

We investigate the strong gravitational lensing properties of fuzzy dark matter (FDM) halos, focusing on the magnification properties near radial critical curves (CCs). Using simul…

Transient star B/R ratio and star formation in lensed galaxies

Sung Kei Li, Jose M. Palencia, Jose M. Diego +8

The extreme magnification from galaxy clusters and microlenses therein allows the detection of individual, luminous stars in lensed galaxies as transient events, and hence provides…

Multi-copy Axion Transfer Function and Observational Implications of Effective de Broglie Scales

Jiashuo Zhang, Tom Broadhurst, Jeremy Lim +2

Ultra-light axions are viable fuzzy/wave-like dark matter (DM) candidates generically predicted by the String Axiverse paradigm with multiple particle copies, whereas most of th…

Explaining JWST counts with galaxy formation models

Giorgio Manzoni, Tom Broadhurst, Jeremy Lim +18

A distinct power-law break is apparent m_AB approximately 21 in the deep Near-Infrared PEARLS-JWST galaxy counts. The break becomes more pronounced at longer wavelengths, with the…

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…
