The Cosmos in its Infancy: JADES Galaxy Candidates at z > 8 in GOODS-S and GOODS-N
(2024-03-18)
We present a catalog of 717 candidate galaxies at z > 8 selected from 125 square arcmin of NIRCam imaging as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). We combine the full JADES imaging data set with data ...
A recently quenched galaxy 700 million years after the Big Bang
(2024-03-06)
Local and low-redshift ($z$10^{10}~M_{\odot}$) and relatively old. Here we report a (mini-)quenched galaxy at z$=$7.3, when the Universe was only 700~Myr old. The JWST/NIRSpec spectrum is very blue ($U$-$V$$=$0.16$\pm0.03$~mag), ...
JADES: Detecting [OIII]$λ4363$ Emitters and Testing Strong Line Calibrations in the High-$z$ Universe with Ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy up to $z \sim 9.5$
(2024-02-02)
We present ten novel [OIII]λ4363 auroral line detections up to z ∼ 9.5 measured from ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec MSA spectroscopy from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). We leverage the deepest spectroscopic ...
Jades: Discovery of extremely high equivalent width Lyman- α emission from a faint galaxy within an ionized bubble at z = 7.3
(2023-10-05)
We report the discovery of a remarkable Lyα emitting galaxy at z = 7.2782, JADES-GS+53.16746-27.7720 (shortened to JADES-GS-z7-LA), with rest-frame equivalent width, EW 0(Lyα) = 388.0 ± 88.8 Å and UV magnitude -17.0. The ...
GA-NIFS: A massive black hole in a low-metallicity AGN at z ∼ 5.55 revealed by JWST/NIRSpec IFS
(2023-09-18)
We present rest-frame optical data of the compact z=5.55 galaxy GS_3073 obtained using the integral field spectroscopy mode of the Near-InfraRed Spectrograph on board the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxybs prominent ...
Jades: Probing interstellar medium conditions at z ∼ 5.5-9.5 with ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy
(2023-09-12)
We present emission-line ratios from a sample of 27 Lyman-break galaxies from z∼ 5.5-9.5 with-17.0< M1500<-20.4, measured from ultra-deep JWST/NIRSpec multi-object spectroscopy from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic ...
Carbonaceous dust grains seen in the first billion years of cosmic time
(2023-07-19)
Large dust reservoirs (up to approximately 10 8 M ⊙) have been detected 1–3 in galaxies out to redshift z ≃ 8, when the age of the Universe was only about 600 Myr. Generating substantial amounts of dust within such a short ...
Spectroscopic confirmation of four metal-poor galaxies at z=10.3-13.2
(2023-05)
Finding and characterizing the first galaxies that illuminated the early universe at cosmic dawn is pivotal to understand the physical conditions and the processes that led to the formation of the first stars. In the first ...
First insights into the ISM at z > 8 with JWST: possible physical implications of a high [O III] λ4363/[O III] λ5007
(2022-09-20)
We present a detailed analysis of the rest-frame optical emission line ratios for three spectroscopically confirmed galaxies at z > 7.5. The galaxies were identified in the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Early Release ...
