Outflows in the Early Universe: Neutral gas Absorption in Galaxies at z > 3 from low-resolution JWST Spectroscopy

Matteo Sapori, Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani +14

Recent JWST/NIRSpec observations have shown that Na I D absorption tracing neutral gas outflows is widespread in massive galaxies at Cosmic Noon (-), but their prevalenc…

The Blue Jay Survey: Deep JWST Spectroscopy for a Representative Sample of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani, Minjung Park +17

We present the Blue Jay survey, a cycle 1 JWST program aimed at studying the stellar and gas content of galaxies at cosmic noon. The survey consists of deep spectroscopy for 153 ta…

Negative gas-phase metallicity gradients in the narrow line region and galactic disc of local AGN-host galaxies

Amirnezam Amiri, Johan H. Knapen, Bret D. Lehmer +1

The gas-phase metallicity distribution in galaxies provides significant information on their evolution. We report the discovery of negative radial gradients in the gas-phase metall…

Death by Impact: Evidence for Merger-Driven Quenching in a Collisional Ring Galaxy at Cosmic Noon

Amir H. Khoram, Sirio Belli, Carlo Nipoti +7

The role of interactions and mergers in the rapid quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe remains uncertain, largely due to the difficulty of directly linking mergers t…

Empirical Calibration of Na I D and Other Absorption Lines as Tracers of High-Redshift Neutral Outflows

Lorenzo Moretti, Sirio Belli, Gwen C. Rudie +5

Recent JWST observations of massive galaxies at z > 2 have detected blueshifted absorption in Na I D and other resonant absorption lines, indicative of strong gas outflows in the n…

The interplay between Active Galactic Nuclei and Ram-pressure stripping: spatially resolved gas-phase abundances of stripped and undisturbed galaxies

Giorgia Peluso, Benedetta Vulcani, Mario Radovich +11

The gas-phase oxygen abundance of the circumnuclear regions around supermassive black holes (SMBH) has been claimed to be affected by the presence of an Active Galactic Nucleus (AG…

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…

Stripped and Enriched: The Role of Ram-Pressure in Shaping Chemical Enrichment of Galaxies at Intermediate Redshift

Amir H. Khoram, Bianca Poggianti, Alessia Moretti +11

The chemical evolution of galaxies is shaped by their star formation histories and the exchange of gas with their environments. Metallicity provides key insights into these process…
