LEGGOS I: The JWST LEGGOS Survey -- LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures -- Unpacks the Nature of Clumpy Star Formation and Quenching in Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies beyond Cosmic Noon
Gourav Khullar, Michael Florian, Matthew B. Bayliss +34
We present first results from the JWST LEGGOS Survey (LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures), aimed at studying the physics of clumpy star formation and quenching in e…
LEGGOS II: A Strong Lens Model and Source-Plane Projection of the Clumpy Star-Forming Galaxy SGASJ111020.0+645950.8 at z=2.48
Pedram Abedi, Keren Sharon, Taylor A. Hutchison +18
Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters combined with the resolution of JWST enables studies of star formation on ~10-100 pc scales in galaxies at z~2-4. As part of the LEn…
SLICE -- Combining Strong Lensing and X-ray in AC 114. Further Insights into the Merger Scenario
Marceau Limousin, Benjamin Beauchesne, Keren Sharon +14
AC114 is a historically significant galaxy cluster, being one of the first strong lensing clusters detected from the ground in the early 1990s, prior to the launch of the HST. Desp…
Strong LensIng and Cluster Evolution (SLICE) with JWST: Early Results, Lens Models, and High-Redshift Detections
Catherine Cerny, Guillaume Mahler, Keren Sharon +24
We leverage JWST's superb resolution to derive strong lensing mass maps of 14 clusters, spanning a redshift range of and a mass range of $M_{500}\sim2-12 \times…
Little red dot variability over a century reveals black hole envelope via a giant Einstein cross
Zijian Zhang, Mingyu Li, Masamune Oguri +79
"Little red dots" (LRDs) represent a new population of astronomical objects uncovered by JWST whose nature remains debated. Although many LRDs are suspected as active galactic nucl…
A Strong Gravitational Lensing Model of PSZ2 G118.46+39.32
Isaac Smith, Catherine Cerny, Keren Sharon +4
We present the first strong gravitational lensing model for the cluster PSZ2 G118.46+39.32 (z = 0.3967) using new NIRCam imaging from the Strong LensIng and Cluster Evolution (SLIC…
