The Rise of Faint, Red Active Galactic Nuclei at z > 4: a Sample of Little Red Dots in the Jwst Extragalactic Legacy Fields

Michaela Hirschmann

We present a sample of 341 "little red dots" (LRDs) spanning the redshift range z similar to 2-11 using data from the CEERS, PRIMER, JADES, UNCOVER, and NGDEEP surveys. Unlike past use of color indices to identify LRDs, we employ continuum slope fitting us ...

TDCOSMO: XVIII. Strong lens model and time-delay predictions for J1721+8842, the first Einstein zigzag lens

Frédéric Dux

We present lens models for J1721+8842, the first-ever discovered galaxy-scale strong lens in an Einstein zigzag configuration. The model consists of four separate lensed galaxies, with the primary source hosting a quasar, lensed into six images by two defl ...

The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS) VI. Black hole mass estimation using machine learning

Rémi Henri Philippe Poitevineau

The detailed feeding and feedback mechanisms of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are not yet well known. For low-luminosity AGNs, obscured AGNs, and late-type galaxies, the masses of their central black holes (BH) are difficult to determine precisely. Our goa ...

3d Cmz. II. Hierarchical Structure Analysis of the Central Molecular Zone

Robin Gopala Tress

The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the way station at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy, connecting gas flowing in from Galactic scales with the central nucleus. Key open questions remain about its 3D structure, star formation properties, and role in regu ...

The Impact of Cosmic Ray Feedback During the Epoch of Reionisation

Marion Nancy Amandine Farcy

Galaxies form and evolve via a multitude of complex physics. In this work, we investigate the role of cosmic ray (CR) feedback in galaxy evolution and reionisation, by examining its impact on the escape of ionising radiation from galaxies. For this purpose ...

Euclid: Early Release Observations - A glance at free-floating newborn planets in the σ Orionis cluster

Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin

We provide an early assessment of the imaging capabilities of the Euclid space mission to deeply probe nearby star-forming regions and associated very young open clusters, and in particular, to determine to which extent it can shed light into the newborn f ...

XXXIV. The effect of linear redshift-space distortions in photometric galaxy clustering and its cross-correlation with cosmic shear

Slobodan Ilic, Malte Tewes, Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Maurizio Martinelli, Alessandro Pezzotta, Gianluca Castignani

Context. The cosmological surveys that are planned for the current decade will provide us with unparalleled observations of the distribution of galaxies on cosmic scales, by means of which we can probe the underlying large-scale structure (LSS) of the Univ ...

Time-Delay Cosmography: Measuring the Hubble Constant and Other Cosmological Parameters with Strong Gravitational Lensing

Frédéric Courbin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon

Multiply lensed images of a same source experience a relative time delay in the arrival of photons due to the path length difference and the different gravitational potentials the photons travel through. This effect can be used to measure absolute distance ...

CURLING - I. The influence of point-like image approximation on the outcomes of cluster strong lens modelling

Nan Li, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Cluster-scale strong lensing is a powerful tool for exploring the properties of dark matter and constraining cosmological models. However, due to the complex parameter space, pixelized strong lens modelling in galaxy clusters is computationally expensive, ...

Euclid: The search for primordial features

Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Yiming Li

Primordial features, in particular oscillatory signals, imprinted in the primordial power spectrum of density perturbations represent a clear window of opportunity for detecting new physics at high-energy scales. Future spectroscopic and photometric measur ...

Euclid preparation XXXVI. Modelling the weak lensing angular power spectrum

Georges Meylan, Frédéric Courbin, Maurizio Martinelli, Gianluca Castignani, Austin Chandler Peel

This work considers which higher order modeling e ffects on the cosmic shear angular power spectra must be taken into account for Euclid. We identified the relevant terms and quantified their individual and cumulative impact on the cosmological parameter i ...

Strong gravitational lensing's 'external shear' is not shear

David Richard Harvey

The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus 'external shear', which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of externa ...

The phase-space distribution of the M 81 satellite system

Oliver Müller, Nick Heesters

The spatial distribution of dwarf galaxies around their host galaxies is a critical test for the standard model of cosmology because it probes the dynamics of dark matter halos and is independent of the internal baryonic processes of galaxies. Comoving pla ...

CEERS Key Paper. VIII. Emission-line Ratios from NIRSpec and NIRCam Wide-Field Slitless Spectroscopy at z > 2

We use James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infrared Camera Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy (NIRCam WFSS) and the Near-Infrared spectrograph (NIRSpec) in the Cosmic Evolution Early Release survey to measure rest-frame optical emission-line ratios of 155 galaxi ...

Strong lensing by edge-on galaxies in UNIONS

Frédéric Courbin, Elodie Marie Charlène Savary, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon, Javier Alejandro Acevedo Barroso

Current searches for galaxy-scale strong lenses focus on massive Luminous Red Galaxies but tend to overlook late-type lenses, in part because of their smaller Einstein radii. We take advantage of the superb seeing of the UNIONS survey in the r-band to perf ...
