High Redshift Radio Galaxies [PDF]
One hundred years after G. Marconi recorded radio waves over a distance of more than 1000 m, the most sensitive radio telescopes are able to detect the radio emission from light travel distances at least 1.4 × 1023 times greater. The electromagnetic waves from these distant objects are red shifted by Δλ/λ = z > 4. It is not the mere distance of high

The nature of high-redshift galaxies [PDF]
Using semi-analytic models of galaxy formation set within the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) merging hierarchy, we investigate several scenarios for the nature of the high-redshift ($z \ga 2$) Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). We consider a ``collisional starburst'' model in which bursts of star formation are triggered by galaxy-galaxy mergers, and find that a ...

Finding High-redshift Galaxies with JWST [PDF]
Abstract One of the primary goals for the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope is to observe the first galaxies. Predictions for planned and proposed surveys have typically focused on average galaxy counts, assuming a random distribution of galaxies across the observed field.

Target Selection and Sample Characterization for the DESI LOW-Z Secondary Target Program
We introduce the DESI LOW- Z Secondary Target Survey, which combines the wide-area capabilities of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) with an efficient, low-redshift target selection method.

Searching for high-z DSFGs with NIKA2 and NOEMA [PDF]
As the possible progenitors of passive galaxies at z=2-3, dusty starforming galaxies (DSFGs) at z>4 provide a unique perspective to study the formation, assembly, and early quenching of massive galaxies in the early Universe.

Decomposition of the central structure of NGC 2273 in the NIR: A case study
Abstract The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2273 is a prime target to explore how active nuclei can be fed. It has a star‐forming innermost nuclear ring with a radius of 0.33kpc from where material may be funneled to the supermassive black hole in its center. In this article, we discuss high‐resolution adaptive optics aided JHKs images of NGC 2273 taken with the

Early Results from GLASS-JWST. XV. Properties of the Faintest Red Sources in the NIRCAM Deep Fields
We present a first look at the reddest 2–5 μ m sources found in deep images from the GLASS Early Release Science program. We undertake a general search, i.e., not looking for any particular spectral signatures, for sources detected only in

PAWS and POCO: NIR Astrophotonic Instruments for Astronomy
Abstract For near‐infrared ground and space‐based astronomy, compact photonic devices can replace the large bulk optical components in spectrographs, frequency combs, beam combiners, and sky subtraction filters, thus saving cost, reducing volume, weight, and power requirements.

On the Number of Galaxies at High Redshift [PDF]
The number of galaxies at a given flux as a function of the redshift, z, is derived when the z-distance relation is non-standard. In order to compare different models, the same formalism is also applied to the standard cosmology. The observed luminosity function for galaxies of the zCOSMOS catalog at different redshifts is modeled by a new luminosity ...

Evaluating the GeoSnap 13‐μ$$ \mu $$m cutoff HgCdTe detector for mid‐IR ground‐based astronomy
Abstract New mid‐infrared HgCdTe (MCT) detector arrays developed in collaboration with Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) have paved the way for improved 10‐μ$$ \mu $$m sensors for space‐ and ground‐based observatories. Building on the successful development of longwave HAWAII‐2RGs for space missions such as NEO Surveyor, we characterize the first 13‐μ ...
