A Cosmic Miracle: A Remarkably Luminous Galaxy at Confirmed with JWST

Rohan P. Naidu, Pascal A. Oesch, Gabriel Brammer +43

JWST has revealed a stunning population of bright galaxies at surprisingly early epochs, , where few such sources were expected. Here we present the most distant example of t…

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…

Resolving the nature and putative nebular emission of GS9422: an obscured AGN without exotic stars

Sandro Tacchella, William McClymont, Jan Scholtz +27

Understanding the sources that power nebular emission in high-redshift galaxies is fundamentally important not only for shedding light onto the drivers of reionisation, but to cons…

Unravelling the role of merger histories in the population of In situ stars: linking IllustrisTNG cosmological simulation to H3 survey

Razieh Emami, Lars Hernquist, Randall Smith +16

We undertake a comprehensive investigation into the distribution of in~situ stars within Milky Way-like galaxies, leveraging TNG50 simulations and comparing their predictions with…

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…

Widespread rapid quenching at cosmic noon revealed by JWST deep spectroscopy

Minjung Park, Sirio Belli, Charlie Conroy +16

Massive quiescent galaxies in the young universe are expected to be quenched rapidly, but it is unclear whether they all experience starbursts before quenching and what physical me…
