LensWatch. I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")

Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools and methodologies needed as the sample of lensed SNe increases by orders of ...

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 ...

Fuelling the nuclear ring of NGC 1097

Robin Gopala Tress, Jiayi Sun

Galactic bars can drive cold gas inflows towards the centres of galaxies. The gas transport happens primarily through the so-called bar dust lanes, which connect the galactic disc at kpc scales to the nuclear rings at hundreds of pc scales much like two gi ...

CEERS Key Paper. VII. JWST/MIRI Reveals a Faint Population of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Unseen by Spitzer

Michaela Hirschmann

The Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science program observed the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2022. In this paper, we discuss the four MIRI pointings that observed with longer ...

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 ...

Resolving Galactic-scale Obscuration of X-Ray AGNs at z & GSIM; 1 with COSMOS-Web

Michaela Hirschmann

A large fraction of the accreting supermassive black hole population is shrouded by copious amounts of gas and dust, particularly in the distant (z & GSIM; 1) universe. While much of the obscuration is attributed to a parsec-scale torus, there is a known c ...

Analysis of accretion disc structure and stability using open code for vertical structure

Pascale Jablonka

Detailed chemical abundances of very metal-poor (VMP; [Fe/H] < -2) stars are important for better understanding the first stars, early star formation, and chemical enrichment of galaxies. Big on-going and coming high-resolution spectroscopic surveys provid ...

Euclid preparation XXX. Performance assessment of the NISP red grism through spectroscopic simulations for the wide and deep surveys

Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Fabio Finelli, Richard Massey, Maurizio Martinelli, Gianluca Castignani, Marcello Farina, Michaela Hirschmann, Yi Wang

This work focusses on the pilot run of a simulation campaign aimed at investigating the spectroscopic capabilities of the Euclid NearInfrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP), in terms of continuum and emission line detection in the context of galaxy evo ...

Metallicity Distribution Functions of 13 Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy Candidates from Hubble Space Telescope Narrowband Imaging

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present uniformly measured stellar metallicities of 463 stars in 13 Milky Way (MW) ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; M-V = -7.1 to -0.8) using narrowband CaHK (F395N) imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. This represents the largest homogeneous ...

Gaia Data Release 3: The extragalactic content

Mária Süveges, Pablo Jose Fernandez Marcos, Shuangqing Liao, Richard Irving Anderson

The Gaia Galactic survey mission is designed and optimized to obtain astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy of nearly two billion stars in our Galaxy. Yet as an all-sky multi-epoch survey, Gaia also observes several million extragalactic objects down to ...

Examining the relationship between the bulge-to-total stellar mass ratio and dwarf galaxy count in the context of ΛCDM

Oliver Müller

Previous results suggest that there is a correlation between the size of the bulge of a galaxy and the number of its dwarf galaxy satellites. This was found to be inconsistent with the standard model of cosmology based on comparisons to semi-analytical dar ...

Spectroscopic Confirmation of CEERS NIRCam-selected Galaxies at z similar or equal to 8-10

Xin Wang, Michaela Hirschmann

We present JWST/NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of seven galaxies selected from Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey NIRCam imaging with photometric redshifts z(phot) > 8. We measure emission line redshifts of z = 7.65 and 8.64 for two galaxies ...
