NEXUS: Spectral Variability of Little Red Dots and Blue Active Galactic Nuclei at

Zachary Stone, Yue Shen, Ming-Yang Zhuang +4

We present spectral measurements for 17 Little Red Dots (LRDs) and 14 blue broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at using multi-epoch JWST NIRSpec MSA s…

JWST COSMOS-3D: Spectroscopic Census and Luminosity Function of [O III] Emitters at 6.75<z<9.05 in COSMOS

Romain A. Meyer, Feige Wang, Koki Kakiichi +38

We present a catalogue of spectroscopically selected [OIII]+Hb emitters at 6.75<z<9.05 and the resulting [OIII] 5008 Ã Luminosity Function (LF) in the COSMOS field. We leverage the…

Possible chemical signatures of first-star enrichment in a very metal-poor galaxy overdensity near the end of reionization

Zihao Li, Koki Kakiichi, Lise Christensen +24

The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), formed from primordial gas consisting solely of hydrogen and helium and is believed to have emerged only a few hun…

ASPIRE: The Environments and Dark Matter Halos of Luminous Quasars in the Epoch of Reionization

Feige Wang, Jaclyn B. Champagne, Jiamu Huang +42

We present a systematic study of the environments of 25 luminous quasars at from the ASPIRE program. Using JWST/NIRCam WFSS data, we identified 487 galaxies at $5.3 \less…

Probing Direct Contributions of Galaxies and AGN to Cosmic Reionization in a Quasar Field J0226+0302 with JWST NIRCam and NIRSpec

Xiangyu Jin, Jinyi Yang, Feige Wang +19

We present JWST Cycle 2 NIRCam and NIRSpec observations in a quasar field J0226+0302 at z=6.5412 to probe the direct connections between the intergalactic medium (IGM), galaxies, a…
