A Post-starburst Galaxy Undergoing Ram-pressure Stripping at Redshift 3.06
Mingyu Li, Zheng Cai, Bjorn H. C. Emonts +16
Understanding how galaxies ignite and extinguish their star formation remains a cornerstone question in modern astrophysics. Recent JWST surveys have revealed an overabundance of m…
(LRDs): The Low-ReDshift Little Red Dots Survey. II. DESI DR1 Sample
Xiaojing Lin, Xiaohui Fan, Zheng Cai +12
JWST has revealed a substantial population of "Little Red Dots" (LRDs) at , challenging conventional AGN frameworks. However, the low-redshift regime remains largely unexplore…
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…
Deeper detection limits in astronomical imaging using self-supervised spatiotemporal denoising
Yuduo Guo, Hao Zhang, Mingyu Li +10
The detection limit of astronomical imaging observations is limited by several noise sources. Some of that noise is correlated between neighbouring image pixels and exposures, so i…
Constraining the nature of active galactic nuclei through circumgalactic Lya emission at z=2-3
Shiwu Zhang, Zheng Cai, Fabrizio Arrigoni Battaia +8
We present a comprehensive analysis of circumgalactic Lya nebulae around 59 unobscured and 26 obscured quasars at z=2-3, observed with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager (KCWI), to constra…
Can AI Dream of Unseen Galaxies? Conditional Diffusion Model for Galaxy Morphology Augmentation
Chenrui Ma, Zechang Sun, Tao Jing +4
Observational astronomy relies on visual feature identification to detect critical astrophysical phenomena. While machine learning (ML) increasingly automates this process, models…
