A Morphology Catalog of Galaxies in CEERS: Evolution in the Size and Color Gradients of Galaxies Since Cosmic Dawn

Elizabeth J. McGrath, Steven L. Finkelstein, Guillermo Barro +42

We present measurements of morphological parameters from fitting 53,885 galaxies detected to a magnitude limit of F356W in the CEERS NIRCam imaging with galfit in six broad…

Optical Strong Line Ratios Cannot Distinguish Between Stellar Populations and Accreting Black Holes at High Ionization Parameters and Low Metallicities

Nikko J. Cleri, Grace M. Olivier, Bren E. Backhaus +24

High-redshift observations from JWST indicate that optical strong line ratios do not carry the same constraining power as they do at low redshifts. Critically, this prevents a sepa…

Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization Are All Bark and No Bite -- Plenty of Ionizing Photons, Low Escape Fractions

Casey Papovich, Justin W. Cole, Weida Hu +27

Early results from JWST suggest that epoch-of-reionization (EoR) galaxies produce copious ionizing photons, which, if they escape efficiently, could cause reionization to occur too…

The Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS)

Steven L. Finkelstein, Micaela B. Bagley, Pablo Arrabal Haro +96

We present the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey, a 77.2 hour Director's Discretionary Early Release Science Program. CEERS demonstrates, tests, and validates e…

Spectroscopic confirmation of a dust-obscured, metal-rich dwarf galaxy at z~5

L. Bisigello, G. Gandolfi, A. Feltre +24

We present the first spectroscopic confirmation of a dust-obscured dwarf galaxy, CEERS-14821. The analysis is performed combining JWST NIRCam broad-band photometry and NIRSpec/PRIS…

A Milky Way-like barred spiral galaxy at a redshift of 3

Luca Costantin, Pablo G. Pérez-González, Yuchen Guo +30

The majority of massive disk galaxies in the local Universe show a stellar barred structure in their central regions, including our Milky Way. Bars are supposed to develop in dynam…

Extremely red galaxies at with MIRI and NIRSpec: dusty galaxies or obscured AGNs?

Guillermo Barro, Pablo G. Perez-Gonzalez, Dale D. Kocevski +27

We study a new population of extremely red objects (EROs) recently discovered by JWST based on their NIRCam colors F277WF444W mag. We find 37 EROs in the CEERS field with…

Confirmation and refutation of very luminous galaxies in the early universe

Pablo Arrabal Haro, Mark Dickinson, Steven L. Finkelstein +34

During the first 500 million years of cosmic history, the first stars and galaxies formed, seeding the Universe with heavy elements and eventually reionizing the intergalactic medi…
