Outflows in the Early Universe: Neutral gas Absorption in Galaxies at z > 3 from low-resolution JWST Spectroscopy

Matteo Sapori, Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani +14

Recent JWST/NIRSpec observations have shown that Na I D absorption tracing neutral gas outflows is widespread in massive galaxies at Cosmic Noon (-), but their prevalenc…

From THESAN-ZOOM to JWST: Predicting ionizing photon escape and the rise of UV-bright reionization sources

Zebedee Summerfield, William McClymont, Sandro Tacchella +14

Understanding the sources and evolution of cosmic reionization remains a central challenge in astrophysics, with the escape of ionizing Lyman-continuum (LyC) photons from early gal…

Probing neutral outflows in z ~ 2 galaxies using JWST observations of Ca II H and K absorption lines

Caterina Liboni, Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani +12

Using deep JWST/NIRSpec spectra from the Blue Jay survey, we perform the first systematic investigation of neutral gas content in massive galaxies at Cosmic Noon based on the Ca II…

The Blue Jay Survey: Deep JWST Spectroscopy for a Representative Sample of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon

Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani, Minjung Park +17

We present the Blue Jay survey, a Cycle-1 JWST program aimed at studying the stellar and gas content of galaxies at Cosmic Noon. The survey consists of deep spectroscopy for 153 ta…

Big, Dusty Galaxies in Blue Jay: Insights into the Relationship Between Morphology and Dust Attenuation at Cosmic Noon

Gabriel Maheson, Sandro Tacchella, Sirio Belli +10

The dust attenuation of galaxies is highly diverse and closely linked to stellar population properties and the star dust geometry, yet its relationship to galaxy morphology remains…

AGN Feedback in Quiescent Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Traced by Ionized Gas Emission

Letizia Bugiani, Sirio Belli, Minjung Park +17

We analyze ionized gas emission lines in deep rest-frame optical spectra of 16 quiescent galaxies at redshift observed with JWST/NIRSpec by the Blue Jay survey. Robust…
