A quasar hatching from a buried red phase at z = 3.7
Zheng Ma, Yongda Zhu, Zhiyuan Ji +21
We present JADES-GS 209777, previously cataloged as CANDELS J033238.02-274626.2, hereafter "the Hatchling," a red quasar at . While the source has been reported in earlier…
ASPIRE: The Environments and Dark Matter Halos of Luminous Quasars in the Epoch of Reionization
Feige Wang, Jaclyn B. Champagne, Jiamu Huang +42
We present a systematic study of the environments of 25 luminous quasars at from the ASPIRE program. Using JWST/NIRCam WFSS data, we identified 487 galaxies at $5.3 \less…
A massive barred spiral galaxy at z = 5.102 discovered by JWST
Xiaohan Wang, Fengwu Sun, Yoshihisa Asada +21
We report M1149-BSG-z5, a barred spiral galaxy at , identified in the parallel field of MACS J1149+2223 with JWST and HST. M1149-BSG-z5 is the highest redshift barred ga…
Early metal-enriched baryon cycling before the midpoint of cosmic reionization
Yongda Zhu, Zhiyuan Ji, George D. Becker +13
Models predict that chemical enrichment and gas redistribution should begin rapidly once star formation starts, but direct constraints at the earliest epochs have been scarce. Here…
A Post-starburst Galaxy Undergoing Ram-pressure Stripping at Redshift 3.06
Mingyu Li, Zheng Cai, Bjorn H. C. Emonts +16
Understanding how galaxies ignite and extinguish their star formation remains a cornerstone question in modern astrophysics. Recent JWST surveys have revealed an overabundance of m…
Early Emergence of Environmental Effects: Accelerated Galaxy Assembly in a z=2.96 Protocluster in the COSMOS Field
Shuaiyi Li, Zheng Cai, Yunjing Wu +4
The redshift range z=2-4 marks a critical transition in large scale structure formation, where the dynamically unrelaxed progenitors of local massive clusters undergo rapid stellar…
