Quasar Impostors: Two Extremely UV-Bright () Reionisation-Epoch Galaxies Powered by Very Massive Stars
Daming Yang, Joseph F. Hennawi, Sarah E. I. Bosman +20
The extreme bright end of the galaxy UV luminosity function during reionisation remains poorly constrained, particularly where the galaxy and quasar luminosity functions overlap an…
Where did all the Little Red Dots go? The abundance of LRD analogues among objects with broad lines at
Lasse Seyberlich, Sarah E. I. Bosman
One of the most puzzling discoveries since the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope is a numerous population of sources at high redshift nicknamed ``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs). C…
Changing-Look AGNs from DESI. VI. Host Galaxies
Shengxiu Sun, Linhua Jiang, Wei-Jian Guo +2
Changing-look (CL) AGNs trace rapid changes in nuclear activity, but their connection to host galaxy properties remains unclear. We present a study of the host galaxies of 105 CL A…
Possible chemical signatures of first-star enrichment in a very metal-poor galaxy overdensity near the end of reionization
Zihao Li, Koki Kakiichi, Lise Christensen +24
The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), formed from primordial gas consisting solely of hydrogen and helium and is believed to have emerged only a few hun…
MIRI spectrophotometry of GN-z11: Detection and nature of an optical red continuum component
A. Crespo Gómez, L. Colina, P. G. Pérez-González +16
We present new MIRI F560W, F770W and F1000W imaging of GN-z11, extending the previous rest-frame coverage from 0.38 to 0.86m. We report significant detections (14) in the F…
SHELLQs-JWST Unveils the Host Galaxies of 12 Quasars at z>6
Xuheng Ding, Masafusa Onoue, John D. Silverman +35
The advent of JWST has opened new horizons in the study of quasar host galaxies during the reionization epoch (z>6). Building upon our previous initial measurements of stellar ligh…
