The Luminosity Function of Ultra-Faint Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by JWST
Marielle R. Eduardo, Anastasia N. Morgan, Wesley C. Fraser +8
We present a definitive discovery of 27 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) using the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). By employing a shift-an…
Combined JWST and HST Deep Imaging to Characterize the Smallest Known Trans-Neptunian Objects
Anastasia N. Morgan, Marielle R. Eduardo, David E. Trilling +9
We present optical-near-infrared (NIR) color measurements for small ( km) Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) using coordinated and nearly simultaneous observations from the Ja…
Powerful Radio-Loud Quasars are Triggered by Galaxy Mergers in the Cosmic Bright Ages
Peter Breiding, Marco Chiaberge, Erini Lambrides +14
While supermassive black holes are ubiquitous features of galactic nuclei, only a small minority are observed during episodes of luminous accretion. The physical mechanism(s) drivi…
The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
NIRCam Performance on JWST In Flight
Marcia J. Rieke, Douglas M. Kelly, Karl Misselt +7
The Near Infrared Camera for the James Webb Space Telescope is delivering the imagery that astronomers have hoped for ever since JWST was proposed back in the 1990s. In the Commiss…
JWST NIRCam Defocused Imaging: Photometric Stability Performance and How it Can Sense Mirror Tilts
Everett Schlawin, Thomas Beatty, Brian Brooks +25
We use JWST NIRCam short wavelength photometry to capture a transit lightcurve of the exoplanet HAT-P-14 b to assess performance as part of instrument commissioning. The short wave…
JWST/NIRCam Coronagraphy: Commissioning and First On-Sky Results
Julien H. Girard, Jarron Leisenring, Jens Kammerer +53
In a cold and stable space environment, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or "Webb") reaches unprecedented sensitivities at wavelengths beyond 2 microns, serving most fields of…
The Science Performance of JWST as Characterized in Commissioning
Jane Rigby, Marshall Perrin, Michael McElwain +623
This paper characterizes the actual science performance of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), as determined from the six month commissioning period. We summarize the performanc…
The Host Galaxy of the Recoiling Black Hole Candidate in 3C 186: An Old Major Merger Remnant at the Center of a z=1 Cluster
T. Morishita, M. Chiaberge, B. Hilbert +10
3C186, a radio-loud quasar at , was previously reported to have both velocity and spatial offsets from its host galaxy, and has been considered as a promising candidate f…
The puzzling case of the radio-loud QSO 3C 186: a gravitational wave recoiling black hole in a young radio source?
M. Chiaberge, J. C. Ely, E. T. Meyer +14
Context. Radio-loud AGNs with powerful relativistic jets are thought to be associated with rapidly spinning black holes (BHs). BH spin-up may result from a number of processes, inc…
The Frontier Fields: Survey Design
J. M. Lotz, A. Koekemoer, D. Coe +39
The Frontier Fields are a director's discretionary time campaign with HST and the Spitzer Space Telescope to see deeper into the universe than ever before. The Frontier Fields comb…
Powerful Activity in the Bright Ages. I. A Visible/IR Survey of High Redshift 3C Radio Galaxies and Quasars
Bryan Hilbert, Marco Chiaberge, JohnPaul Kotyla +10
We present new rest frame UV and visible observations of 22 high-redshift (1 < z < 2.5) 3C radio galaxies and QSOs obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) Wide Field Camer…
The Environment of z >1 3CR Radio Galaxies and QSOs: From Proto-Clusters to Clusters of Galaxies?
John Paul Kotyla, Marco Chiaberge, Stefi A. Baum +8
We study the cluster environment for a sample of 21 radio loud AGN from the 3CR catalog at z>1, 12 radio galaxies and 9 quasars with HST images in the optical and IR. We use two di…
A Deeper Look at Faint H Emission in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies
Janice C. Lee, Sylvain Veilleux, Michael McDonald +1
We present deep H imaging of three nearby dwarf galaxies, carefully selected to optimize observations with the Maryland-Magellan Tunable Filter (MMTF) on the Magellan 6.5m teles…
