Near-IR Weak-lensing (NIRWL) Measurements in the CANDELS Fields. II. Mass Mapping and Overdensity Characterization
Kyle Finner, Bomee Lee, Ranga-Ram Chary +4
The Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) fields offer an exceptional combination of depth, spatial resolution, and area f…
The Potential of the SPHEREx Mission for Characterizing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon 3.3 μm Emission in Nearby Galaxies
Edward Zhang, Andreas L. Faisst, Brendan Crill +18
Together with gas, stars, and supermassive black holes, dust is crucial in stellar and galaxy evolution. Hence, understanding galaxies' dust properties across cosmic time is critic…
Simulating Spectral Confusion in SPHEREx Photometry and Redshifts
Zhaoyu Huai, James J. Bock, Yun-Ting Cheng +12
We model the impact of source confusion on photometry and the resulting spectrophotometric redshifts for SPHEREx, a NASA Medium-Class Explorer that is carrying out an all-sky near-…
JWST Discovery of Strong Lensing from a Galaxy Cluster at Cosmic Noon: Giant Arcs and a Highly Concentrated Core of XLSSC 122
Kyle Finner, Sangjun Cha, Zachary P. Scofield +9
Our observations with the James Webb Space Telescope have made the remarkable discovery of strong gravitational lensing arcs from XLSSC 122 () - setting the record for the…
Accuracy of Stellar Mass-to-light Ratios of Nearby Galaxies in the Near-Infrared
Taehyun Kim, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho +12
Future satellite missions are expected to perform all-sky surveys, thus providing the entire sky near-infrared spectral data and consequently opening a new window to investigate th…
