Massive Galaxies Form Early and Gray: Stellar Assembly and Dust Attenuation at from CAPERS
Katherine Chworowsky, Steven L. Finkelstein, Anthony J. Taylor +27
The stellar mass assembly of massive galaxies in the first few billion years of cosmic history remains a central challenge in galaxy formation. Galaxies with $M_\star \gtrsim 10^{1…
Using Ly Transmitted Spectrum to Probe IGM Transmission and Identify Ionized Structures in Cosmic Reionization
Weida Hu, Casey Papovich, Lu Shen +16
We present a study of intergalactic medium (IGM) transmission at using high-signal-to-noise JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of 143 galaxies at from the CAPE…
Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization Are All Bark and No Bite -- Plenty of Ionizing Photons, Low Escape Fractions
Casey Papovich, Justin W. Cole, Weida Hu +27
Early results from JWST suggest that epoch-of-reionization (EoR) galaxies produce copious ionizing photons, which, if they escape efficiently, could cause reionization to occur too…
NGDEEP: A New Non-Parametric Measure of Local Star-Formation and Attenuation at Cosmic Noon
Grace M. Forrey, Raymond C. Simons, Jonathan R. Trump +6
We introduce a new non-parametric technique to quantify the spatially-resolved relationship between the local star-formation rate (SFR) and dust attenuation. We then apply it to 14…
A first look at a complete view of spatially resolved star formation at 1<z<1.8 with JWST NGDEEP+FRESCO slitless spectroscopy
Jasleen Matharu, Lu Shen, Irene Shivaei +15
[abridged] The previously inaccessible star formation tracer Pa can now be spatially resolved by JWST NIRCam slitless spectroscopy in distant galaxies up to cosmic noon. In the…
Extended Enriched Gas in a Multi-Galaxy Merger at Redshift 6.7
Weida Hu, Casey Papovich, Lu Shen +5
Recent JWST observations have uncovered high-redshift galaxies characterized by multiple star-forming clumps, many of which appear to be undergoing mergers. Such mergers, especiall…
