Photometric Constraints on Intermediate-mass Black Holes in the Galactic Centre
Tamojeet Roychowdhury, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Joseph M. Michail +14
JWST/MIRI observations can place photometric limits on the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) near the Galactic Centre. The stellar complex IRS 13E, a co-moving con…
First Mid-infrared Detection and Modeling of a Flare from Sgr A*. II. Mid-IR Spectral Energy Distribution and Millimeter Polarimetry
Joseph M. Michail, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Garrett K. Keating +20
S. D. von Fellenberg et al. (2025a, Paper I) reported the first mid-infrared detection of a flare from Sgr A*. The JWST/MIRI/MRS observations were consistent with an orbiting hotsp…
JWST's PEARLS: A Candidate Massive Binary Star System in a Lensed Galaxy at Redshift 0.94
Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Emmanouil Zapartas +18
Massive stars at cosmological distances can be individually detected during transient microlensing events, when gravitational lensing magnifications may exceed ~1000. Nine such sou…
PEARLS: NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Extragalactic Survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time-domain Field III
Ross Silver, Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao +28
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Time-Domain Field (TDF) has been monitored by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton with a regular cadence for five years starting i…
The Distribution of Quenched Galaxies in the Massive z = 0.87 Galaxy Cluster El Gordo
Rachel Honor, Seth Cohen, Timothy Carleton +27
El Gordo (ACT-CL J01024915) is a massive galaxy cluster with two major mass components at redshift . Using SED fitting results from JWST/NIRCam photometry, the fraction…
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…
