Hidden Little Monsters: Spectroscopic Identification of Low-mass, Broad-line AGNs at z> 5 with CEERS

Michaela Hirschmann

We report on the discovery of two low-luminosity, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z > 5 identified using JWST NIRSpec spectroscopy from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey. We detect broad Ha emission in the spectra of bot ...

MOSEL Survey: JWST Reveals Major Mergers/strong Interactions Drive the Extreme Emission Lines in the Early Universe

Michaela Hirschmann

Extreme emission line galaxies (EELGs), where nebular emissions contribute 30%-40% of the flux in certain photometric bands, are ubiquitous in the early Universe (z > 6). We utilize deep NIRCam imaging from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADE ...

Spectral Templates Optimal for Selecting Galaxies at z > 8 with the JWST

Michaela Hirschmann

The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness-all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift m ...

The imprint of galaxy mergers on satellite planes in a cosmological context

Oliver Müller

Flattened and kinematically correlated planes of dwarf satellite galaxies have been observed in the Local Volume. The slinging out of satellites during host galaxy mergers has been suggested as a formation mechanism for these peculiar structures. We statis ...

The central dark-matter fraction of galaxies is sensitive to feedback processes during galaxy formation. Strong gravitational lensing has been effective in the precise measurement of the dark-matter fraction inside massive early-type galaxies. Here, we com ...

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are massive star clusters found in all types of galaxies from dwarfs to massive galaxies. Recent studies show that while low-mass NSCs in dwarf galaxies (M-gal< 10(9)M(circle dot)) form predominantly out of the merger of globul ...

The Seventeenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Complete Release of MaNGA, MaStar, and APOGEE-2 Data

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Zheng Zheng, Kai Zhu, Cheng Zhao, Johan Comparat, David Schlegel, Amy Jones, Yuguang Chen, Yue Shen, Cheng Li, Guillaume Blanc

This paper documents the seventeenth data release (DR17) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fifth and final release from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). DR17 contains the complete release of the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) ...

Cold gas in the cosmic web around galaxy clusters

Damien Louis Alexandre Spérone-Longin

Galaxies live in very different types of environment. Those different environments are relics from the evolution of the Universe since the Big Bang. This network of structures observed via large scale surveys is called Cosmic Web. Within this web, galaxies ...

We use photometric redshifts and statistical background subtraction to measure stellar mass functions in galaxy group-mass (4.5-8 x 10(13) M-circle dot) haloes at 1 < z < 1.5. Groups are selected from COSMOS and SXDF, based on X-ray imaging and sparse spec ...

OXFORD UNIV PRESS2021

We measure the rate of environmentally driven star formation quenching in galaxies at z similar to 1, using eleven massive () galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 1.0 < z < 1.4 from the GOGREEN sample. We identify three different types of transition g ...
