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…

LEGGOS I: The JWST LEGGOS Survey -- LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures -- Unpacks the Nature of Clumpy Star Formation and Quenching in Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies beyond Cosmic Noon

Gourav Khullar, Michael Florian, Matthew B. Bayliss +34

We present first results from the JWST LEGGOS Survey (LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures), aimed at studying the physics of clumpy star formation and quenching in e…

THRILS -- The High-(Redshift+Ionization) Line Search: Program Description & Redshift Catalog

Taylor A. Hutchison, Rebecca L. Larson, Pablo Arrabal Haro +46

To date, many spectroscopic confirmations of z>7 galaxies have been obtained using JWST/NIRSpec prism observations, with most of their physical properties inferred from these obser…

JWST & the Waz Arc I: Spatially Resolving the Physical Conditions within a Post-Starburst Galaxy at Redshift 5 with NIRSpec IFS

Taylor A. Hutchison, Gourav Khullar, Jane R. Rigby +22

We present NIRSpec/IFS observations of a rest-frame UV-bright, massive ( M, ) galaxy highly magnified by gravitational-lensing observed just…

Discovery of Multiply Ionized Iron Emission Powered by an Active Galactic Nucleus in a z~7 Little Red Dot

Erini Lambrides, Rebecca Larson, Taylor Hutchison +50

Some of the most puzzling discoveries of NASA's JWST in the early Universe surround the surprising abundance of compact red sources, which show peculiar continuum shapes and broad…

Optical Strong Line Ratios Cannot Distinguish Between Stellar Populations and Accreting Black Holes at High Ionization Parameters and Low Metallicities

Nikko J. Cleri, Grace M. Olivier, Bren E. Backhaus +24

High-redshift observations from JWST indicate that optical strong line ratios do not carry the same constraining power as they do at low redshifts. Critically, this prevents a sepa…
