Other red dots: A possible GLIMPSE of normal AGB stars at Cosmic Noon through extreme lensing

Lukas J. Furtak, Adi Zitrin, Erik Zackrisson +18

We report the discovery of four extremely faint () red point sources in recent ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell…

First Statistical Study of Over 100 Magnified Stellar Events at Redshift with JWST

J. M. Palencia, Fengwu Sun, J. M. Diego +25

Highly magnified stars at cosmological distances () become detectable thanks to microlensing by intracluster stars near the critical curves of galaxy clusters. Multi…

A spectroscopically confirmed, strongly lensed, metal-poor Type II supernova at z = 5.13

David A. Coulter, Conor Larison, Justin D. R. Pierel +88

Observing supernovae (SNe) in the early Universe (z > 3) provides a window into how both galaxies and individual stars have evolved over cosmic time, yet a detailed study of high-r…

PEARLS: 21 Transients Found in the Three-Epoch NIRCam Observations in the Continuous Viewing Zone of the James Webb Space Telescope

Haojing Yan, Bangzheng Sun, Zhiyuan Ma +39

We present 21 transients from our three-epoch, four-band NIRCam observations covering 14.16 arcmin^2 in the Spitzer IRAC Dark Field (IDF), taken by the JWST Prime Extragalactic Are…

JWST's PEARLS: A Candidate Massive Binary Star System in a Lensed Galaxy at Redshift 0.94

Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Emmanouil Zapartas +18

Massive stars at cosmological distances can be individually detected during transient microlensing events, when gravitational lensing magnifications may exceed ~1000. Nine such sou…

JWST's PEARLS: Temperatures of Nine Highly Magnified Stars in a Galaxy at Redshift 0.94 and Simulated Stellar Population Dependence on Stellar Metallicity and the Initial Mass Function

Hayley Williams, Patrick L. Kelly, Rogier A. Windhorst +17

We present stellar atmosphere modeling of JWST NIRCam photometry of nine highly magnified individual stars in a single galaxy at redshift z=0.94 known as the Warhol arc, which is s…
