SN Helios: A Multiply Imaged Type II Supernova Opening Time-Delay Cosmography beyond redshift of 3

Seiji Fujimoto, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +64

We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of SN Helios, a strongly lensed, multiply imaged Type II supernova (SN) at behind the galaxy cluster RXC J0018.5+162…

First Statistical Study of Over 100 Magnified Stellar Events at Redshift with JWST

J. M. Palencia, Fengwu Sun, J. M. Diego +25

Highly magnified stars at cosmological distances () become detectable thanks to microlensing by intracluster stars near the critical curves of galaxy clusters. Multi…

Extragalactic microlensing through Ultra Diffuse Galaxies

Sung Kei Li, Thomas Broadhurst, Jose M. Diego +4

Stellar microlensing is a powerful method to constrain compact dark matter models, uncover binary stars, and exoplanets during caustic crossing events. At cosmological distances, {…

A tight relation between the distribution of globular clusters and dark matter in AS1063

J. M. Diego, C. Goolsby, C. J. Conselice +1

Based on deep high resolution JWST images of AS1063, and after a careful masking of artifacts, extended features in the cluster, and background galaxies (including known lensed one…

Hedorah, the first yellow supergiant Kaiju star candidate at revealed by JWST behind AS1063

J. M. Diego, J. M. Palencia, C. Goolsby +8

We present a new free-form lens model for the galaxy cluster AS1063, based on previously spectroscopically confirmed lensed galaxies and new JWST images from the GLIMPSE…

Mirror images of lensed star clusters with mismatched spectral energy distributions: A possible signature of top-heavy stellar initial mass functions and extreme stars in high-redshift star clusters

Erik Zackrisson, Jose M. Diego, Jose M. Palencia +4

Strongly lensed star clusters have recently been detected up to redshift in galaxy cluster fields using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). When pairs of mirror im…

JWST's PEARLS: Temperatures of Nine Highly Magnified Stars in a Galaxy at Redshift 0.94 and Simulated Stellar Population Dependence on Stellar Metallicity and the Initial Mass Function

Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Rogier A. Windhorst +17

We present stellar atmosphere modeling of JWST NIRCam photometry of nine highly magnified individual stars in a single galaxy at redshift z=0.94 known as the Warhol arc, which is s…

BUFFALO/Flashlights: Constraints on the abundance of lensed supergiant stars in the Spock galaxy at redshift 1

Jose M. Diego, Sung Kei Li, Ashish K. Meena +27

We present a constraint on the abundance of supergiant (SG) stars at redshift z approx. 1, based on recent observations of a strongly lensed arc at this redshift. First we derive a…
