An Hα Impression of Lyα Galaxies at z ≃ 6 with Deep JWST/NIRCam Imaging

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We present a study of seven spectroscopically confirmed (Ly α -emitting) galaxies at redshift z ≃ 6 using the JWST/NIRCam imaging data. These galaxies, with a wide range of Ly α luminosities, were recently observed in a series of NIRCam broad and medium ...

Probing extreme black‐hole outflows on short timescales via high spectral‐resolution x‐ray imagers

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We investigate outflows and the physics of super‐Eddington versus sub‐Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next‐generation high‐resolution soft x‐ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole ultraluminous x‐ray source (ULX) systems in particular. Owing to scale invariance in accreting

Halfway to the Peak: Kinematic Signatures of Stable Rotating Disks in Luminous Infrared Galaxies at z = 0.5–0.6

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a kinematic study of six IR-luminous galaxies observed with the Mid-infrared Instrument Medium-resolution Spectrometer (MIRI/MRS) on board JWST.

JWST imaging of the closest globular clusters—I. Possible infrared excess among white dwarfs in NGC 6397

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 6-7, July-August 2024.
Abstract We present James Webb Space Telescope observations of the globular cluster NGC 6397 and use them to extend to infrared wavelengths the characterization of the cluster's entire white dwarf (WD) cooling sequence (CS). The data allows us to probe fundamental astrophysical WD properties and to search for evidence in their colors for (or against ...

Silicates in Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal, 2008
We analyze the mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Spectrograph. Dust emission dominates the MIR spectra of ULIRGs, and the reprocessed radiation that emerges is independent of the underlying heating spectrum.

Luminous Infrared Galaxies in a Merging Sequence: ISO Observations [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
We report mid-infrared images of several luminous infrared galaxies (LIGs) taken with ISOCAM on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). These LIGs were chosen to represent different phases of a merger sequence of galaxy-galaxy interaction with special emphasis on early/intermediate stages of merging.

A Complete 16 μm Selected Galaxy Sample at z ∼ 1. II. Morphological Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a morphological analysis of the 16 μ m flux-density-limited galaxy sample at 0.8 < z < 1.3 from Huang et al. (2021). At the targeted redshift, the 16 μ m emission corresponds to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon feature from intense star ...

Not So Fast: A New Catalog of Meteor Persistent Trains

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 129, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract This paper presents the results of a nearly 2‐year long campaign to detect and analyze meteor persistent trains (PTs)—self‐emitting phenomena which can linger up to an hour after their parent meteor. The modern understanding of PTs has been primarily developed from the Leonid storms at the turn of the century; our goal was to assess the ...

How Accurately Can Obscured Galaxy Luminosities Be Measured Using Spectral Energy Distribution Fitting of Near- through Far-infrared Observations?

The Astrophysical Journal
Infrared-luminous galaxies are important sites of stellar and black hole mass assembly at most redshifts. Their luminosities are often estimated by fitting spectral energy distribution (SED) models to near- to far-infrared data, but the dependence of ...

The HST Large Programme on NGC 6752 ‐ V. Differences in luminosity and mass function among stellar populations

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 345, Issue 5, June 2024.
Abstract We exploit the astro‐photometric dataset of the multi‐epoch infrared parallel field of a Hubble Space Telescope Large Programme aimed at studying the faintest stars of the globular cluster NGC 6752 to determine the luminosity and mass functions of the multiple stellar populations of this cluster. Thanks to the measurement of proper motions and
