DUALZ: Deep UNCOVER-ALMA Legacy High-Z Survey
We present the survey design and initial results of the ALMA Cycle 9 program of DUALZ, which aims to establish a joint ALMA and JWST …
Dust attenuation, dust content, and geometry of star-forming galaxies
We analyse the joint distribution of dust attenuation and projected axis ratios, together with galaxy size and surface brightness …
UNCOVER spectroscopy confirms a surprising ubiquity of AGN in red galaxies at z>5
JWST is revealing a new population of dust-reddened broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) at redshifts zrsim5. Here we present deep …
UNCOVER: The Growth of the First Massive Black Holes from JWST/NIRSpec-Spectroscopic Redshift Confirmation of an X-Ray Luminous AGN at z = 10.1
The James Webb Space Telescope is now detecting early black holes (BHs) as they transition from “seeds” to supermassive BHs. Recently, …
A supermassive black hole in the early universe growing in the shadows
Early JWST observations have uncovered a new, substantial population of red sources that might represent a previously overlooked phase …
First spectroscopic observations of the galaxies that reionized the Universe
Low-mass galaxies in the early universe are believed to be the building blocks of present-day galaxies. These fledgling systems likely …
Rapid Quenching of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon
The existence of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift seems to require rapid quenching, but it is unclear whether all quiescent …
UNCOVER: A NIRSpec Census of Lensed Galaxies at z=8.50-13.08 Probing a High AGN Fraction and Ionized Bubbles in the Shadow
We present JWST NIRSpec prism spectroscopy of gravitationally lensed galaxies at zrsim9 found behind the massive galaxy cluster Abell …
UNCOVER: JWST Spectroscopy of Three Cold Brown Dwarfs at Kiloparsec-scale Distances
We report JWST/NIRSpec spectra of three distant T-type brown dwarfs identified in the Ultradeep NIRSpec and NIRCam ObserVations before …
UNCOVER: Candidate Red Active Galactic Nuclei at 3<z<7 with JWST and ALMA
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revolutionizing our knowledge of z>5 galaxies and their actively accreting black holes. …
