Implications of Broad [O III] 4364 and UV Line Emission in Two Little Red Dots at z ~ 7 - 8

Casey Papovich, Kaila Ronayne, Weida Hu +17

We present deep, NIRSpec G140M and G395M spectroscopy of Little Red Dots (LRDs) at z = 6.68 and z = 8.35. Both LRDs show broad Balmer and [O III] 4364 emission. The broad [O III…

MEGA and SMILES Find Fewer Dusty Galaxies than Expected at Cosmic Noon

Bren E. Backhaus, Allison Kirkpatrick, Kurt Hamblin +10

We present infrared (IR) luminsosity functions (LFs) and resulting star formation rate densities using the JWST Mid-infrared Instrument (MIRI) observations from the MIRI EGS Galaxy…

The HST-Hyperion Survey: Environmental Imprints on the Stellar-Mass Function at z~2.5

Derek Sikorski, Ben Forrest, Brian C. Lemaux +19

Not all galaxies at Cosmic Noon evolve in the same way. It remains unclear how the local environment -- especially the extreme overdensities of protoclusters -- affects stellar mas…

AGNBoost: A Machine Learning Approach to AGN Identification with JWST/NIRCam+MIRI Colors and Photometry

Kurt Hamblin, Allison Kirkpatrick, Bren E. Backhaus +18

We present AGNBoost, a machine learning framework utilizing XGBoostLSS to identify AGN and estimate redshifts from JWST NIRCam and MIRI photometry. AGNBoost constructs 66 input fea…

MEGA: Spectrophotometric SED Fitting of Little Red Dots Detected in JWST MIRI

Kaila Ronayne, Casey Papovich, Allison Kirkpatrick +13

We analyze eight spectroscopically confirmed Little Red Dots (LRDs) at redshifts with JWST/NIRCam, NIRSpec, and MIRI data. The LRDs have red NIRCam colors, F150W-F444…

MEGA Mass Assembly with JWST: The MIRI EGS Galaxy and AGN Survey

Bren E. Backhaus, Allison Kirkpatrick, Guang Yang +8

We present the MIRI EGS Galaxy and AGN (MEGA) survey, a four band MIRI survey with 25 pointing in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) extragalactic field. Three of the pointings utilize…
