Project Hephaistos -- IV. James Webb Space Telescope Observations of Two Dyson Sphere Candidates
Erik Zackrisson, Arjan Bik, Anita Ali Asgar +11
We report on JWST/MIRI imaging and spectroscopy of two M-dwarf stars previously singled out by project Hephaistos as potential Dyson-sphere candidates (their candidates D and E) du…
How can we finally see the first light? Status and perspective in the search for Population III stars
Alessandra Venditti, Daniel Schaerer, Erik Zackrisson +28
Finding the first (Population III or Pop III) stars is one of the fundamental quests of astronomy, aiming to deliver the missing link in how stars form at early cosmic times. Yet t…
Other red dots: A possible GLIMPSE of normal AGB stars at Cosmic Noon through extreme lensing
Lukas J. Furtak, Adi Zitrin, Erik Zackrisson +18
We report the discovery of four extremely faint () red point sources in recent ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell…
First Statistical Study of Over 100 Magnified Stellar Events at Redshift with JWST
J. M. Palencia, Fengwu Sun, J. M. Diego +25
Highly magnified stars at cosmological distances () become detectable thanks to microlensing by intracluster stars near the critical curves of galaxy clusters. Multi…
Ultraviolet photon production rates of the first stars: Impact on the He II 1640 Ã emission line from primordial star clusters and the 21-cm signal from cosmic dawn
Joel Wasserman, Erik Zackrisson, Jiten Dhandha +3
The first stars, the chemically pristine Population III, likely played an important role in heating the intergalactic medium during the epoch of cosmic dawn. The very high effectiv…
Mirror images of lensed star clusters with mismatched spectral energy distributions: A possible signature of top-heavy stellar initial mass functions and extreme stars in high-redshift star clusters
Erik Zackrisson, Jose M. Diego, Jose M. Palencia +4
Strongly lensed star clusters have recently been detected up to redshift in galaxy cluster fields using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). When pairs of mirror im…
