Tracing the Evolution of the Balmer Break from Cosmic Dawn to Cosmic Noon with JWST

Adarsh Kuruvanthodi, Daniel Schaerer, Rui Marques-Chaves +3

The Balmer break (BB) is a key spectral feature for constraining stellar population ages, star formation histories, and redshifts of high-redshift sources. The redshift evolution a…

RUBIES Reveals a Massive Quiescent Galaxy at z=7.3

Andrea Weibel, Anna de Graaff, David J. Setton +26

We report the spectroscopic discovery of a massive quiescent galaxy at , just Myr after the Big Bang. RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 was selected from public…

Extreme N-emitters at high-redshift: signatures of supermassive stars and globular cluster or black hole formation in action?

R. Marques-Chaves, D. Schaerer, A. Kuruvanthodi +9

[Abridged] Using the JWST/NIRSpec observations from CEERS we found an extreme N-emitter, CEERS-1019 at z=8.6782 showing intense NIV and NIII emission. From the observed rest-UV and…

Search strategies for supermassive stars in young clusters and application to nearby galaxies

A. Kuruvanthodi, D. Schaerer, M. Messa +4

Supermassive stars (SMS) with masses , formed by runaway collisions in young, massive, and dense star clusters have been invoked as a possible soluti…
