LEGGOS I: The JWST LEGGOS Survey -- LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures -- Unpacks the Nature of Clumpy Star Formation and Quenching in Gravitationally Lensed Galaxies beyond Cosmic Noon

Gourav Khullar, Michael Florian, Matthew B. Bayliss +34

We present first results from the JWST LEGGOS Survey (LEnsing and Galaxy Growth: Observing Substructures), aimed at studying the physics of clumpy star formation and quenching in e…

The GlimmIr: Spectroscopic Variability in a z~7 LRD Indicates Rapid Changes in Both the Narrow and Broad Line Regions

Erini Lambrides, Taylor A. Hutchison, Rebecca L. Larson +39

The enigmatic population of ``Little Red Dots'' (LRDs) sit at the center of some of the largest debates in extragalactic astronomy today. The source(s) of ionizing emission and the…

JWST & the Waz Arc I: Spatially Resolving the Physical Conditions within a Post-Starburst Galaxy at Redshift 5 with NIRSpec IFS

Taylor A. Hutchison, Gourav Khullar, Jane R. Rigby +22

We present NIRSpec/IFS observations of a rest-frame UV-bright, massive ( M, ) galaxy highly magnified by gravitational-lensing observed just…

The Sunburst Arc with JWST. IV. The importance of interaction, turbulence, and feedback for Lyman-continuum escape

T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Brian Welch, Taylor Hutchison +13

At present, the best opportunity for detailed Lyman Continuum escape studies is in gravitationally lensed galaxies at z >~ 2. Only one such galaxy currently exists in the literatur…

A Glimpse of the New Redshift Frontier Through Abell S1063

Vasily Kokorev, Hakim Atek, John Chisholm +31

We report the discovery of two galaxy candidates at redshifts between in JWST observations from the GLIMPSE survey. These robust sources were identified using a combi…

Connecting Lyman- and ionizing photon escape in the Sunburst Arc

M. Riley Owens, Keunho J. Kim, Matthew B. Bayliss +17

We investigate the Lyman- (Ly) and Lyman continuum (LyC) properties of the Sunburst Arc, a gravitationally lensed galaxy with a multiply-imaged, compact region leaki…

The Sunburst Arc with JWST: II. Observations of an Eta Carinae Analog at

S. Choe, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, H. Dahle +11

"Godzilla" is a peculiar object within the gravitationally lensed Sunburst Arc at . Despite being very bright, it appears in only one of the twelve lensed images of the sou…

The Sunburst Arc with JWST: III. An Abundance of Direct Chemical Abundances

Brian Welch, T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Jane Rigby +11

We measure the gas-phase abundances of the elements He, N, O, Ne, S, Ar, and Fe in an individual H\textsc{ii} region known to be leaking Lyman-continuum photons in the Sunburst Arc…

Gravitational lensing reveals ionizing ultraviolet photons escaping from a distant galaxy

T. Emil Rivera-Thorsen, Håkon Dahle, John Chisholm +7

During the epoch of reionisation, neutral gas in the early Universe was ionized by hard ultraviolet radiation emitted by young stars in the first galaxies. To do so, ionizing ultra…

Neutral gas properties of Lyman continuum emitting galaxies: column densities and covering fractions from UV absorption lines

Simon Gazagnes, John Chisholm, Daniel Schaerer +3

The processes allowing the escape of ionizing photons from galaxies into the intergalactic medium are poorly known. To understand how Lyman continuum (LyC) photons escape galaxies,…

Feeding the fire: Tracing the mass-loading of 10^7 K galactic outflows with O VI absorption

J. Chisholm, R. Bordoloi, J. R. Rigby +1

Galactic outflows regulate the amount of gas galaxies convert into stars. However, it is difficult to measure the mass outflows remove because they span a large range of temperatur…

The Magellan Evolution of Galaxies Spectroscopic and Ultraviolet Reference Atlas (MEGaSaURA) II: Stacked Spectra

J. R. Rigby, M. B. Bayliss, J. Chisholm +8

We stack the rest-frame ultraviolet spectra of N=14 highly magnified gravitationally lensed galaxies at redshifts 1.6<z<3.6. The resulting new composite spans $900< λ_{rest} < 3000…
