Caught Napping by JWST UNCOVER+MegaScience: Constraining bursty star formation histories and number densities of mini-quenched galaxies at redshifts 4-7
Gourav Khullar, Rachel Bezanson, Katherine A. Suess +27
We explore the prevalence of mini-quenched or ``napping'' galaxies selected from spectroscopic and photometric samples in the UNCOVER/MegaScience survey. These galaxies are empiric…
RUBIES: The Evolution of the Ionization Parameter from 0 < z < 9
Nikko J. Cleri, Zach J. Lewis, Joel Leja +10
The dimensionless ionization parameter, U=q/c, where q is the ratio of the local ionizing photon flux to the local hydrogen density, is a key metric to parameterize nebular conditi…
It's More Complicated Than You Think: A Forward Model to Infer the Recent Star Formation History, Bursty or Not, of Galaxy Populations
Emilie Burnham, Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja +14
Observations of the early Universe (z > 4) with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal galaxy populations with a wide range of intrinsic luminosities and colors. Bursty star formati…
UNCOVER/MegaScience Finds Uniform and Highly Bursty Star Formation at 3 < z < 9, consistent with the High-Redshift UV Luminosity Function
Ikki Mitsuhashi, Katherine A. Suess, Joel Leja +24
Star formation timescales are key to understanding fundamental physics like feedback mechanisms, as well as the abundance of bright galaxies at . We investigate galaxy star f…
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…
Taking a Break at Cosmic Noon: Continuum-selected Low-mass Galaxies Require Long Burst Cycles
Abby Mintz, David J. Setton, Jenny E. Greene +25
While bursty star formation in low-mass galaxies has been observed in local populations and reproduced in simulations, the dormant phase of the burst cycle has not been well studie…
Population Models for Star Formation Timescales in Early Galaxies: The First Step Towards Solving Outshining in Star Formation History Inference
Bingjie Wang, Joel Leja, Hakim Atek +13
JWST have revealed temporarily-quenched and ultraviolet-luminous galaxies in the early universe, suggesting enhanced star formation stochasticity. Verifying this hypothesis is crit…
