Improved SED-Fitting Assumptions Result in Inside-Out Quenching at and Quenching at All Radii Simultaneously at

Alexander de la Vega, Susan A. Kassin, Camilla Pacifici +6

Many studies conclude that galaxies quench from the inside-out by examining profiles of specific star-formation rate (sSFR). These are usually measured by fitting spectral energy d…

First Look at z > 1 Bars in the Rest-Frame Near-Infrared with JWST Early CEERS Imaging

Yuchen Guo, Shardha Jogee, Steven L. Finkelstein +45

Stellar bars are key drivers of secular evolution in galaxies and can be effectively studied using rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) images, which trace the underlying stellar mass an…

Dusty Starbursts Masquerading as Ultra-high Redshift Galaxies in JWST CEERS Observations

Jorge A. Zavala, Veronique Buat, Caitlin M. Casey +121

Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) candidates at z>10 are rapidly being identified in JWST/NIRCam observations. Due to the (redshifted) break produced by neutral hydrogen absorption of rest-…

Galaxy inclination and the IRX-beta relation: Effects on UV star-formation rate measurements at intermediate to high redshifts

Weichen Wang, Susan A. Kassin, Camilla Pacifici +11

At intermediate and high redshifts, measurements of galaxy star-formation rates are usually based on rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) data. A correction for dust attenuation, A_UV, is n…
