Discovery of Red Galaxy Candidates at z ∼ 12: Early Dust Growth or Significant Nebular Emission with High-temperature Stars?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report the discovery of two z  ∼ 12 galaxy candidates with unusually red UV slopes ( β _UV  ≳ −1.5), and probe the origin of such colors at cosmic dawn.

Solar Flare Activity, 1937–2024: Introducing the New Hemispheric Solar Flare Index (hSFI) in the Context of 2024's Major Solar Storm Events

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A new daily composite of the solar flare index (SFI) and the hemispherically‐resolved versions (hSFI) are presented for 1937 to 2024. The data set confirms that the northern hemisphere (NH) dominated solar flare activity during Solar Cycles 17 to 21, but that the southern hemisphere has dominated from Solar Cycle 22 to present.

Constraints on the Dark Side of the Universe and Observational Hubble Parameter Data

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
This paper is a review on the observational Hubble parameter data that have gained increasing attention in recent years for their illuminating power on the dark side of the universe: the dark matter, dark energy, and the dark age. Currently, there are two major methods of independent observational H(z) measurement, which we summarize as the ...

The Magellan M2FS Spectroscopic Survey of High-redshift Galaxies: The Brightest Lyman-break Galaxies at z ∼ 6

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a study of a sample of 45 spectroscopically confirmed, UV luminous galaxies at z ∼ 6. They were selected as bright Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) using deep multiband optical images in more than 2 deg ^2 of the sky, and subsequently identified ...

Constraints on the z  ∼  6−13 intergalactic medium from JWST spectroscopy of Lyman-alpha damping wings in galaxies

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. JWST provides a unique dataset for studying the earliest stages of reionisation at z > 9, promising insights into the first galaxies. Many JWST/NIRSpec prism spectra of z > 5 galaxies have revealed smooth Lyman-alpha breaks, implying damping ...

Two Micron‐Size Dark Dimensions

open access: yesFortschritte der Physik, Volume 73, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Two extra dimensions of micron scale might simultaneously address the gauge and cosmological hierarchy problems. In this paper various observational bounds in scenarios with one and two large extra dimensions are examined, to see if they are compatible with the micron scale.

The First Galaxies and the Likely Discovery of Their Fossils in the Local Group

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
The lower bound for the mass of a galaxy is unknown, as are the typical luminosity of the smallest galaxies and their numbers. The answers depend on the extent to which star formation in the first population of small mass halos may be suppressed by radiative feedback loops.

Do Local Analogs of Lyman Break Galaxies Exist? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2007
The optical properties of a number of supercompact ultraviolet luminous galaxies (UVLG), recently discovered in the local Universe matching GALEX and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data, are discussed. Detailed re-analysis of the SDSS data for these and other similar but nearer galaxies shows that their surface brightness radial profile in both R and ...
