The UNCOVER Survey: A First-look HST + JWST Catalog of 60,000 Galaxies near A2744 and beyond
In 2022 November, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) returned deep near-infrared images of A2744-a powerful lensing cluster capable …
The UNCOVER Survey: A First-look HST+JWST Catalog of Galaxy Redshifts and Stellar Population Properties Spanning 0.2 ≲ z ≲ 15
The recent UNCOVER survey with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) exploits the nearby cluster A2744 to create the deepest view of …
JWST UNCOVER: The Overabundance of Ultraviolet-luminous Galaxies at z>9
Over the past year, JWST has uncovered galaxies at record-breaking distances up to z ∼ 13. The JWST UNCOVER (ultra-deep NIRSpec and …
Two Distinct Classes of Quiescent Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Revealed by JWST PRIMER and UNCOVER
We present a measurement of the low-mass quiescent size-mass relation at Cosmic Noon (1<z<3) from the JWST PRIMER and UNCOVER …
Remarkably Compact Quiescent Candidates at 3<z<5 in JWST-CEERS
In this letter, we measure the rest-frame optical and near-infrared sizes of ten quiescent candidates at 3<z<5, first reported by …
The Heavy Metal Survey: Star Formation Constraints and Dynamical Masses of 21 Massive Quiescent Galaxies at z~1.4-2.2
In this paper, we present the Heavy Metal Survey, which obtained ultra-deep medium-resolution spectra of 21 massive quiescent galaxies …
UNCOVER: A NIRSpec Identification of a Broad-line AGN at z = 8.50
Deep observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed an emerging population of red pointlike sources that could …
UNCOVER: Illuminating the Early Universe-JWST/NIRSpec Confirmation of z > 12 Galaxies
Observations of high-redshift galaxies provide a critical direct test to the theories of early galaxy formation, yet to date, only …
Quantifying the Effects of Known Unknowns on Inferred High-redshift Galaxy Properties: Burstiness, the IMF, and Nebular Physics
The era of the James Webb Space Telescope ushers stellar population models into uncharted territories, particularly at the …
UNCOVER: The rest ultraviolet to near infrared multiwavelength structures and dust distributions of sub-millimeter-detected galaxies in Abell 2744
With the wavelength coverage, sensitivity, and high spatial resolution of JWST, it is now possible to peer through the dust attenuation …
