Sleeping or Dead? Probing the Quenching Mechanism of JWST Dormant Galaxies at z > 3 with ALMA

Mengyuan Xiao, Songnan Qi, Pascal A. Oesch +16

JWST has revealed a population of "dormant'' galaxies at z>3 with strong Balmer breaks and weak emission lines, whose star formation appears to have declined only recently. Whether…

From Starburst to Quenching: Physical Properties of Extremely Compact Starbursts at z0.1

Can Xu, Mengyuan Xiao, Min Bao +5

The compaction phase plays a crucial role in galaxy evolution, as it is strongly linked to star formation activities and structural transformation. We have identified a sample of e…

A Census of the 200 Most Massive Galaxies Spectroscopically Observed with JWST at zspec 3-15

Mengyuan Xiao, Pascal A. Oesch, Longji Bing +26

Massive galaxies provide strong tests of galaxy formation models, yet a comprehensive spectroscopic view of their properties and demographics in the early Universe has remained elu…

From Grism to IFU: Revising the Redshift and Nature of the Massive Dusty Galaxy S1 with JWST and ALMA

Mengyuan Xiao, Longji Bing, Gabriel Brammer +21

We report a revised spectroscopic redshift for the dusty massive galaxy S1, previously inferred with an exceptionally high baryon-to-star conversion efficiency from NIRCam slitless…

Stellar Morphology of Optically Dark or Faint Galaxies at with JWST

Arpita Ganguly, Mengyuan Xiao, Pascal A. Oesch +11

JWST offers an unprecedented view of optically dark or faint galaxies (OFGs), previously missed by HST. They are likely massive, heavily dust-obscured star-forming galaxies (SFGs)…

What Builds and Quenches the Most Massive Galaxies in the Early Universe?

Mengyuan Xiao, Longji Bing, Guilaine Lagache +4

The first few billion years of cosmic history witnessed the rapid emergence of the most massive galaxies, yet their true space density, baryon assembly pathways, and early quenchin…

An almost NIRCam-dark dusty star-forming galaxy at z=6.63

Longji Bing, Seb Oliver, Mengyuan Xiao +28

We present AC-2168, an almost NIRCam-dark, millimetre-bright galaxy in the COSMOS field. The source was identified blindly in ALMA Band-4 continuum data and remains undetected in t…

No [CII] or dust detection in two Little Red Dots at z > 7

Mengyuan Xiao, Pascal A. Oesch, Longji Bing +30

Little Red Dots (LRDs) are compact, point-like sources characterized by their red color and broad Balmer lines, which have been debated to be either dominated by active galactic nu…

PANORAMIC: Discovery of an Ultra-Massive Grand-Design Spiral Galaxy at

Mengyuan Xiao, Christina C. Williams, Pascal A. Oesch +26

We report the discovery of an ultra-massive grand-design red spiral galaxy, named Zhúlóng (Torch Dragon), at in the JWST PANORAMIC survey, identi…

Probabilistic and progressive deblended far-infrared and sub-millimetre point source catalogues I. Methodology and first application in the COSMOS field

Lingyu Wang, Antonio La Marca, Fangyou Gao +12

Single-dish far-infrared (far-IR) and sub-millimetre (sub-mm) point source catalogues and their connections with catalogues at other wavelengths are of paramount importance. Howeve…

Overcoming Confusion Noise with Hyperspectral Imaging from PRIMAger

James M. S. Donnellan, Seb J. Oliver, Matthieu Bethermin +11

The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) concept aims to perform mapping with spectral coverage and sensitivities inaccessible to previous FIR space telescopes. PRIM…

Accelerated Formation of Ultra-Massive Galaxies in the First Billion Years

Mengyuan Xiao, Pascal Oesch, David Elbaz +35

Recent JWST observations have revealed an unexpected abundance of massive galaxy candidates in the early Universe, extending further in redshift and to lower luminosity than what h…

The hidden side of cosmic star formation at z > 3: Bridging optically-dark and Lyman break galaxies with GOODS-ALMA

Mengyuan Xiao, David Elbaz, Carlos Gómez-Guijarro +37

Our current understanding of the cosmic star formation history at z>3 is primarily based on UV-selected galaxies (i.e., LBGs). Recent studies of H-dropouts have revealed that we ma…

Starbursts with suppressed velocity dispersion revealed in a forming cluster at z=2.51

Mengyuan Xiao, Tao Wang, David Elbaz +19

One of the most prominent features of galaxy clusters is the presence of a dominant population of massive ellipticals in their cores. Stellar archaeology suggests that these gigant…
