PEARLS: NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Extragalactic Survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time-Domain Field V: Unraveling X-ray Spectral Variability
Samantha Creech, Francesca Civano, Daniel Wik +13
As one of the first deep time-domain surveys in the hard X-ray band, the NuSTAR campaign in the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field (NEP-TDF) offers a prime opportunity to m…
Constraining the Light Curves of Magnified Stellar Events at z ~ 0.725
Carter Meyerhoff, Hayley Williams, Rafael Ortiz +5
Extreme magnification by lensing galaxy clusters allows the detection of high-luminosity stars during cluster caustic transient events at cosmological distances. The Dragon Arc at…
PEARLS: NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Extragalactic Survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time-Domain Field IV: X-Ray Variability Analysis
Ross Silver, Francesca Civano, Xiurui Zhao +31
NuSTAR and XMM-Newton have observed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Time-Domain Field (TDF) for almost five contiguous years starting in 2019. In th…
Constraints on the Pop III Sky Surface Brightness from High-Redshift Caustic Transients in MACS0416
Jakob P. Perivolotis, Pietro Bergamini, Rogier A. Windhorst +18
Population III (Pop III) stars are hypothetical zero-metallicity stellar structures formed from primordial hydrogen and helium. They are theorized to span a wide mass range, extend…
Super-Eddington Little Blue Dots May Reionize Helium Too Early
Christopher Cain, Brent Smith, Gibson B. Bowling +5
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified an abundant population of faint Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at which display broad emission lines, compact morph…
The Koi Pond: A Strongly Lensed Protocluster Core hosting a Diverse Population of DSFGs
Nicholas Foo, Kevin C. Harrington, Brenda L. Frye +29
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) observations of PJ0846+15, \textit{The Koi Pond}, a strongly lensed protocluster core at Cosm…
Spectral Energy Distributions of Globular Clusters in VV191a
Ashton Cardona, Timothy Carleton, Jessica Berkheimer +9
We investigate globular cluster (GC) candidates associated with the elliptical galaxy VV191a using JWST NIRCam and archival HST imaging. Beginning with an initial catalog of over 5…
PEARLS: NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Extragalactic Survey of the JWST North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field VI: Multiwavelength SED Analysis
Rafael Ortiz, Francesca Civano, Rogier A. Windhorst +27
We model spectral energy distributions of 261 X-ray sources to in the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field, extending prior XMM-Newton and NuSTAR analyses. Using the st…
PEARLS: JWST Counterparts of Micro-Jy Radio Sources in the NEP Time Domain Field. II. All Four Spokes
S. P. Willner, Hansung B. Gim, Maria del Carmen Polletta +18
JWST/NIRCam observations in the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field (TDF) identify 4.4 micron counterparts for 206 of 211 radio sources with S(3 GHz) \gapprox 5 micro-Jy in a 65a…
PEARLS: Two Distinct Populations of AGN Hosts Moving Between Star Formation and Quiescence
Gibson B. Bowling, Rafael Ortiz, S. P. Willner +29
We present the results of AGN--host-galaxy decomposition using JWST/NIRCam, HST/ACS, and HST/WFC3 imaging of the North Ecliptic Pole Time Domain Field (NEP-TDF). The light-profiles…
JWST's PEARLS: A clumpy ring galaxy at
David Vizgan, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Ian Smail +22
Ring galaxies are an uncommon class of galaxies whose morphology is closely related to dynamical processes that govern galaxy evolution. Some ring galaxies, known as "collisional r…
We Must Preserve Hubble given its Unique Complementarity to Webb, Roman, and Euclid
Rogier A. Windhorst, Gibson B. Bowling, Kevin S. Croker +17
We present compelling arguments -- focusing on galaxy science -- for preserving the main imagers and operational modes of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for as long as is technic…
