Extreme Ionizing Properties of Metal-Poor, Muv ~ -12 Star Complex in the first Gyr
E. Vanzella, F. Loiacono, M. Messa +38
We report the serendipitous discovery of a faint (M_UV > -12.2), low-metallicity (Z ~ 0.02 Zsun), ionizing source (dubbed T2c) with a spectroscopic redshift of z=6.146. T2c is part…
Anatomy of a z=6 Lyman-α emitter down to parsec scales: extreme UV slopes, metal-poor regions and possibly leaking star clusters
Matteo Messa, E. Vanzella, F. Loiacono +31
We present a detailed JWST/NIRSpec and NIRCam analysis of a gravitationally-lensed galaxy () at redshift 6.14 magnified by the Hubble Frontier Field galaxy cluster MAC…
JWST's PEARLS: resolved study of the stellar and dust components in starburst galaxies at cosmic noon
M. Polletta, B. L. Frye, N. Garuda +35
Dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) contribute significantly to the stellar buildup at cosmic noon. Major mergers and gas accretion are often invoked to explain DSFGs' prodigious s…
A Lens Finder Map to check claimed High-z Galaxies behind SMACS J0723.3-7327
Alex Chow, Sung Kei Li, Tom Broadhurst +5
The first science image released by the JWST reveals numerous galaxies in the distant background of the galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3-7327. Some have claimed redshifts of up to $z \…
PEARLS: JWST counterparts of micro-Jy radio sources in the Time Domain Field
S. P. Willner, H. B. Gim, M. del Carmen Polletta +38
The Time Domain Field (TDF) near the North Ecliptic Pole in JWST's continuous-viewing zone will become a premier "blank field" for extragalactic science. JWST/NIRCam data in a 16 a…
PEARLS: A Potentially Isolated Quiescent Dwarf Galaxy with a TRGB Distance of 30 Mpc
Timothy Carleton, Timothy Ellsworth-Bowers, Rogier A. Windhorst +25
A wealth of observations have long suggested that the vast majority of isolated classical dwarf galaxies (- M) are currently star-forming. However, recent o…
