Low Ly Visibility in Galaxy Overdensities: Reionization Topology and Neutral-Fraction Ceilings from DIVER over

Yongda Zhu, Xiaohui Fan, Laura C. Keating +19

Ly-alpha emission is widely used to trace cosmic reionization, but its interpretation depends on how Ly-alpha visibility varies with galaxy environment. We use deep JWST/NIRSpec ob…

PhotoIFU: NIRCam as a Photometric Integral Field Unit for Mapping Feedback in Galaxies

Yongda Zhu, Marcia J. Rieke, Courtney Carreira +25

We present PhotoIFU, a workflow that uses deep multi-band imaging as a low-resolution photometric integral field unit. Applied to PSF-matched JWST/NIRCam imaging, PhotoIFU treats e…

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…

An (in)complete NIRSpec census of Balmer absorption in Type 1 AGN -- radiation-driven outflows in little red dots, quasars and variable stars

Ignas Juodžbalis, Xihan Ji, Francesco D'Eugenio +17

A notable achievement of the first generation of JWST surveys was the discovery of an abundance of faint high-redshift () broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the $L_{…

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…

Clumps in High-Redshift Galaxies: Mass Scaling and Radial Trends from JADES

Yongda Zhu, Marcia J. Rieke, Zhiyuan Ji +20

Massive star-forming clumps are a prominent feature of high-redshift galaxies and are thought to trace gravitational fragmentation, feedback, and bulge growth in gas-rich disks. We…
