We present measurements of the rest-frame UV spectral slope,
The selection of high-redshift galaxies often involves spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to photometric data, an expectation for contamination levels, and measurement of sample completeness—all vetted through comparison to spectroscopic redshift measurements of a sub-sample. The first JWST data are now being taken over several extragalactic fields to different depths and across various areas, which will be ideal for the discovery and classification of galaxies out to distances previously uncharted. As spectroscopic redshift measurements for sources in this epoch will not be initially available to compare with the first photometric measurements of

Abstract β , for a sample of 36 faint star-forming galaxies atz ∼ 9–16 discovered in one of the deepest JWST NIRCam surveys to date, the Next Generation Deep Extragalactic Exploratory Public Survey. We use robust photometric measurements for UV-faint galaxies (down toM UV∼ −16), originally published in Leung et al., and measure values of the UV spectral slope via photometric power-law fitting to both the observed photometry and stellar population models obtained through spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting withBagpipes . We obtain a median and 68% confidence interval forβ from photometric power-law fitting of and from SED fitting, for the full sample. We show that when only two to three photometric detections are available, SED fitting has a lower scatter and reduced biases than photometric power-law fitting. We quantify this bias and find that after correction the median . We measure physical properties for our galaxies withBagpipes and find that our faint ( ) sample is low in mass ( ), fairly dust-poor ( mag), and modestly young ( yr) with a median star formation rate of . We find no strong evidence for ultrablue UV spectral slopes (β ∼ −3) within our sample, as would be expected for exotically metal-poor (Z /Z ⊙< 10−3) stellar populations with very high Lyman continuum escape fractions. Our observations are consistent with model predictions that galaxies of these stellar masses atz ∼ 9–16 should have only modestly low metallicities (Z /Z ⊙∼ 0.1–0.2). -
Abstract We report the discovery of four galaxy candidates observed 450–600 Myr after the Big Bang with photometric redshifts between
z ∼ 8.3 and 10.2 measured using James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRCam imaging of the galaxy cluster WHL0137−08 observed in eight filters spanning 0.8–5.0μ m, plus nine Hubble Space Telescope filters spanning 0.4–1.7μ m. One candidate is gravitationally lensed with a magnification ofμ ∼ 8, while the other three are located in a nearby NIRCam module with expected magnifications ofμ ≲ 1.1. Using SED fitting, we estimate the stellar masses of these galaxies are typically in the range = 8.3–8.7. All appear young, with mass-weighted ages <240 Myr, low dust contentA V < 0.15 mag, and specific star formation rates sSFR ∼0.25–10 Gyr−1for most. Onez ∼ 9 candidate is consistent with an age <5 Myr and an sSFR ∼10 Gyr−1, as inferred from a strong F444W excess, implying [Oiii ]+Hβ rest-frame equivalent width ∼2000 Å, although an olderz ∼ 10 object is also allowed. Anotherz ∼ 9 candidate is lensed into an arc 2.″4 long with a magnification ofμ ∼ 8. This arc is the most spatially resolved galaxy atz ∼ 9 known to date, revealing structures ∼30 pc across. Follow-up spectroscopy of WHL0137−08 with JWST/NIRSpec will be useful to spectroscopically confirm these high-redshift galaxy candidates and to study their physical properties in more detail. -
Abstract We investigate the stellar mass–black hole mass (
) relation with type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) down to , corresponding to a ≃ −21 absolute magnitude in rest-frame ultraviolet, atz = 2–2.5. Exploiting the deep and large-area spectroscopic survey of the Hobby–Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), we identify 66 type 1 AGNs with ranging from 107–1010M ⊙that are measured with single-epoch virial method using Civ emission lines detected in the HETDEX spectra. of the host galaxies are estimated from optical to near-infrared photometric data taken with Spitzer, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, and ground-based 4–8 m class telescopes byCIGALE spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting. We further assess the validity of SED fitting in two cases by host-nuclear decomposition performed through surface brightness profile fitting on spatially resolved host galaxies with the James Webb Space Telescope/NIRCam CEERS data. We obtain the relation covering the unexplored low-mass ranges of , and conduct forward modeling to fully account for the selection biases and observational uncertainties. The intrinsic relation atz ∼ 2 has a moderate positive offset of 0.52 ± 0.14 dex from the local relation, suggestive of more efficient black hole growth at higher redshift even in the low-mass regime of . Our relation is inconsistent with the suppression at the low- regime predicted by recent hydrodynamic simulations at a 98% confidence level, suggesting that feedback in the low-mass systems may be weaker than those produced in hydrodynamic simulations. -
Abstract We investigate the relationship between dust attenuation and stellar mass (
M *) in star-forming galaxies over cosmic time. For this analysis, we compare measurements from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field survey atz ∼ 2.3 and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) atz ∼ 0, augmenting the latter optical data set with both UV Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) and mid-infrared Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) photometry from the GALEX-SDSS-WISE Catalog. We quantify dust attenuation using both spectroscopic measurements of Hα and Hβ emission lines, and photometric measurements of the rest-UV stellar continuum. The Hα /Hβ ratio is used to determine the magnitude of attenuation at the wavelength of Hα ,A Hα . Rest-UV colors and spectral energy distribution fitting are used to estimateA 1600, the magnitude of attenuation at a rest wavelength of 1600 Å. As in previous work, we find a lack of significant evolution in the relation between dust attenuation andM *over the redshift rangez ∼ 0 toz ∼ 2.3. Folding in the latest estimates of the evolution ofM dust, (M dust/M gas), and gas surface density at fixedM *, we find that the expectedM dustand dust mass surface density are both significantly higher atz ∼ 2.3 than atz ∼ 0. These differences appear at odds with the lack of evolution in dust attenuation. To explain the striking constancy in attenuation versusM *, it is essential to determine the relationship between metallicity and (M dust/M gas), the dust mass absorption coefficient and dust geometry, and the evolution of these relations and quantities fromz ∼ 0 toz ∼ 2.3. -
Abstract The James Webb Space Telescope is now detecting early black holes (BHs) as they transition from “seeds” to supermassive BHs. Recently, Bogdan et al. reported the detection of an X-ray luminous supermassive BH, UHZ-1, with a photometric redshift at
z > 10. Such an extreme source at this very high redshift provides new insights on seeding and growth models for BHs given the short time available for formation and growth. Harnessing the exquisite sensitivity of JWST/NIRSpec, here we report the spectroscopic confirmation of UHZ-1 atz = 10.073 ± 0.002. We find that the NIRSpec/Prism spectrum is typical of recently discoveredz ≈ 10 galaxies, characterized primarily by star formation features. We see no clear evidence of the powerful X-ray source in the rest-frame UV/optical spectrum, which may suggest heavy obscuration of the central BH, in line with the Compton-thick column density measured in the X-rays. We perform a stellar population fit simultaneously to the new NIRSpec spectroscopy and previously available photometry. The fit yields a stellar-mass estimate for the host galaxy that is significantly better constrained than prior photometric estimates (M ⊙). Given the predicted BH mass (M BH∼ 107–108M ⊙), the resulting ratio ofM BH/M ⋆remains 2 to 3 orders of magnitude higher than local values, thus lending support to the heavy seeding channel for the formation of supermassive BHs within the first billion years of cosmic evolution.
