When galaxies burst: enhanced shot-noise for line-intensity mapping in the JWST era

Ely D. Kovetz, Hovav Lazare, Sarah Libanore +2

Recent JWST observations indicate that star formation at $z\sim 4-6$ is more stochastic than previously assumed, with rms log-SFR scatter $\sim 0.6$ dex at $M_h\!\sim\!10^{11}M…
