Galaxies Going Bananas: Inferring the 3D Geometry of High-Redshift Galaxies with JWST-CEERS

Viraj Pandya, Haowen Zhang, Marc Huertas-Company +53

The 3D geometry of high-redshift galaxies remains poorly understood. We build a differentiable Bayesian model and use Hamiltonian Monte Carlo to efficiently and robustly infer the…

A comparative analysis of denoising algorithms for extragalactic imaging surveys

V. Roscani, S. Tozza, M. Castellano +4

We present a comprehensive analysis of the performance of noise-reduction (``denoising'') algorithms to determine whether they provide advantages in source detection on extragalact…

Constraints on Dynamical Dark Energy Models from the Abundance of Massive Galaxies at High Redshifts

N. Menci, A. Grazian, M. Castellano +9

We compare the maximal abundance of massive systems predicted in different dynamical dark energy (DDE) models at high redshifts z = 4-7 with the measured abundance of the most mass…

Passive galaxies in the early Universe: ALMA confirmation of z~3-5 candidates in the CANDELS GOODS-South field

P. Santini, E. Merlin, A. Fontana +7

The selection of red, passive galaxies in the early Universe is very challenging, especially beyond z~3, and it is crucial to constrain theoretical modelling of the processes respo…

Spectroscopic investigation of a reionized galaxy overdensity at z=7

M. Castellano, L. Pentericci, E. Vanzella +17

We present deep spectroscopic follow-up observations of the Bremer Deep Field (BDF) where the two 7 bright Ly emitters (LAE) BDF521 and BDF3299 were previously discovered…

Chasing passive galaxies in the early Universe: a critical analysis in CANDELS GOODS-South

E. Merlin, A. Fontana, M. Castellano +12

We search for passive galaxies at in the GOODS-South field, using different techniques based on photometric data, and paying attention to develop methods that are sensitive t…
