Empirical Calibration of Na I D and Other Absorption Lines as Tracers of High-Redshift Neutral Outflows

Lorenzo Moretti, Sirio Belli, Gwen C. Rudie +5

Recent JWST observations of massive galaxies at z > 2 have detected blueshifted absorption in Na I D and other resonant absorption lines, indicative of strong gas outflows in the n…

Probing neutral outflows in z ~ 2 galaxies using JWST observations of Ca II H and K absorption lines

Caterina Liboni, Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani +12

Using deep JWST/NIRSpec spectra from the Blue Jay survey, we perform the first systematic investigation of neutral gas content in massive galaxies at Cosmic Noon based on the Ca II…

The Blue Jay Survey: Deep JWST Spectroscopy for a Representative Sample of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani, Minjung Park +17

We present the Blue Jay survey, a Cycle-1 JWST program aimed at studying the stellar and gas content of galaxies at Cosmic Noon. The survey consists of deep spectroscopy for 153 ta…

MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) III. The White Dwarf Cooling Sequence

Evan B. Bauer, Aaron Dotter, Charlie Conroy +3

We present a substantial update to the MESA Isochrones and Stellar Tracks (MIST) library, extending the MIST model grids and isochrones down the white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence w…

Big, Dusty Galaxies in Blue Jay: Insights into the Relationship Between Morphology and Dust Attenuation at Cosmic Noon

Gabriel Maheson, Sandro Tacchella, Sirio Belli +10

The dust attenuation of galaxies is highly diverse and closely linked to stellar population properties and the star dust geometry, yet its relationship to galaxy morphology remains…

AGN Feedback in Quiescent Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Traced by Ionized Gas Emission

Letizia Bugiani, Sirio Belli, Minjung Park +17

We analyze ionized gas emission lines in deep rest-frame optical spectra of 16 quiescent galaxies at redshift observed with JWST/NIRSpec by the Blue Jay survey. Robust…
