Project Hephaistos -- III. Characterizing anomalous infrared sources identified as Dyson-sphere candidates
Andreas J. Korn, MatÃas Suazo, Erik Zackrisson +3
The paper investigates seven nearby M dwarfs with unusual infrared excesses that could indicate Dyson‑sphere‑like technosignatures, analyzing photometric and spectroscopic data and…
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…
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…
Identification of 40 gravitationally magnified stars in a galaxy at redshift of 0.725
Yoshinobu Fudamoto, Fengwu Sun, Jose M. Diego +44
Strong gravitational magnifications enable to detect faint background sources, resolve their internal structures, and even identify individual stars in distant galaxies. Highly mag…
