Preliminary Evidence for Lensing-Induced Alignments of High-Redshift Galaxies in JWST-CEERS

Viraj Pandya, Abraham Loeb, Elizabeth J. McGrath +9

The majority of low-mass (${\log }_{10}{M}_{\ast }/M_{\odot }=9-10$) galaxies at high redshift ($z>1$) appear elongated in projection. We use JWST-CEERS observations to explore the role of gr…
