JWST Catches a Strongly Gravitationally Lensed AGN In Transition from Type II to Type I

Michael K Florian, Michael D Gladders, Gourav Khullar +10

JWST has enabled the discovery of a statistical sample of obscured (type II) active galactic nuclei (AGN) at cosmic noon. Studies comparing those type II AGN with type I AGN at tha…

Exploring Cosmic Dawn with PANORAMIC II: Cosmic Variance and Galaxy Clustering at

Andrea Weibel, Christian Kragh Jespersen, Pascal A. Oesch +10

Observational campaigns with JWST have revealed a higher-than-expected abundance of UV-bright galaxies at , with various proposed theoretical explanations. A powerful c…

A Black Hole Star at Cosmic Noon: Extreme Balmer break, photospheric continuum, and broad absorption by thick winds in a Little Red Dot at z=1.7

Alberto Torralba, Jorryt Matthee, Andrea Weibel +12

Recent studies at high redshift have revealed an enigmatic class of Little Red Dots (LRDs) with extreme Balmer breaks, stronger than in any stellar atmosphere. However, it is uncle…

Towards Unbreaking the Universe: MINERVA Measurements of Color Gradients in Massive Quiescent Galaxies Can Help Ease Too-Early Star Formation Tensions

Sam E. Cutler, Luke Robbins, Danilo Marchesini +41

The discovery of a population of massive, ancient quiescent galaxies within the first 2 Gyr of the Universe's history has led to significant tensions with models of galaxy formatio…

Exploring Cosmic Dawn with PANORAMIC I: The Bright End of the UVLF at

Andrea Weibel, Pascal A. Oesch, Christina C. Williams +14

In its first two years of operation, the James Webb Space Telescope has enabled the discovery of a surprising number of UV-bright galaxies at . Their number density is…

COOL-LAMPS IX: A Rare Duo of Quasars Each Lensed by a Single Massive Galaxy Cluster

Erik Solhaug, Michael D. Gladders, Andi M. Kisare +20

Wide-separation lensed quasars (WSLQs) are rare systems that arise from the chance alignment of two objects: a galaxy cluster and a background quasar. After two decades, only seven…
