  text: Studies of the distant Universe are providing key insights into our understanding
    of the formation of galaxies. The advent of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
    has significantly enhanced our observational capabilities, leading to an expanded
    redshift frontier, providing unprecedented detail in the characterisation of early
    galaxies and enabling the discovery of new populations of accreting black holes.
    This review aims to provide an introduction to the basic processes and components
    that shape the observed spectra of galaxies, with a focus on their relevance to
    techniques with which high-redshift galaxies are selected. The review further
    introduces specific topics that have attracted significant attention in recent
    literature, including the discovery of highly efficient galaxy formation in the
    early Universe, the relation between galaxies and the process of reionization,
    new insights into the formation of the first stars and the enrichment of interstellar
    gas with heavy elements, and breakthroughs in our understanding of the origins
    of supermassive black holes.

  text: We present a comprehensive analysis of the MIRI Extremely Red Object Virgil,
    a Lyα emitter at zspec = 6.6379 ± 0.0035 with the photometric properties of a
    Little Red Dot. Leveraging new JWST/MIRI imaging from the MIDIS and PAHSPECS programs,
    we confirm Virgil’s extraordinary nature among galaxies in JADES/GOODS-South,
    exhibiting a strikingly red NIRCam-to-MIRI color (F444W–F1500W = 2.84 ± 0.04 mag).
    Deep NIRSpec/PRISM spectroscopy from the OASIS program offers key insights into
    the host galaxy, revealing properties of an average star-forming galaxy during
    Cosmic Reionization, such as a subsolar metallicity, low-to-moderate dust content,
    and a relatively high ionization parameter and electron temperature. By estimating
    the star formation rate of Virgil from UV and Hα, we find evidence that the galaxy
    is either entering or fading out of a bursty episode. Although line-ratio diagnostics
    employed at high z would classify Virgil as an active galactic nucleus (AGN),
    this classification becomes ambiguous once redshift evolution is considered. Nonetheless,
    Virgil occupies the same parameter space as recently confirmed AGNs at similar
    redshifts. The new deep MIRI data at 15 μm reinforce the AGN nature of Virgil,
    as inferred from multiple spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting codes. Virgil’s
    rising infrared SED and UV excess resemble those of Dust-Obscured Galaxies (DOGs)
    studied with Spitzer at Cosmic Noon, particularly blue-excess HotDOGs. Our results
    highlight the need for a multiwavelength approach incorporating MIRI to uncover
    such extreme sources at z ≳ 6 and to shed light on the interplay between galaxy
    evolution and early black hole growth during Cosmic Reionization.

  text: The increasingly neutral intergalactic gas at z > 6 impacts the Lyman-α (Lyα)
    flux observed from galaxies. One luminous galaxy, COLA1, stands out because of
    its unique double-peaked Lyα line at z = 6.6, unseen in any simulation of reionization.
    Here, we present JWST/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopy in a 21 arcmin2
    field centered on COLA1. We find 141 galaxies spectroscopically selected through
    the [O III] doublet at 5.35 < z < 6.95, with 40 of these sources showing Hβ. For
    COLA1, we additionally detect [O III]4363 as well as Hγ. We measure a systemic
    redshift of z = 6.5917 for COLA1, confirming the classical double-peak nature
    of the Lyα profile. This implies that it resides in a highly ionized bubble and
    that it is leaking ionizing photons with a high escape fraction of fesc(LyC) = 20–50%,
    making it a prime laboratory to study Lyman continuum escape in the Epoch of Reionization.
    COLA1 shows all the signs of a prolific ionizer with a Lyα escape fraction of
    81 ± 5%, Balmer decrement indicating no dust, a steep UV slope (βUV = −3.2 ± 0.4),
    and a star-formation surface density ≳10× that of typical galaxies at similar
    redshift. We detect five galaxies in COLA1’s close environment (Δz < 0.02). Exploiting
    the high spectroscopic completeness inherent to grism surveys, and using mock
    simulations that fully mimic the selection function, we show that the number of
    detected companions is very typical for a normal similarly UV-bright (MUV ∼ −21.3)
    galaxy – that is, the ionized bubble around COLA1 is unlikely to be due to an
    excessively large over-density. Instead, the measured ionizing properties suggest
    that COLA1 by itself might be powering the bubble required to explain its double-peaked
    Lyα profile (Rion ≈ 0.7 pMpc), with only minor contributions from detected neighbors
    (−19.5 ≲ MUV ≲ −17.5).

  text: We present results from the JWST First Reionization Epoch Spectroscopically
    Complete Observations survey on the star-forming sequence (SFS) of galaxies at
    1.0 < z < 1.7, around the peak of the cosmic star formation history. Star formation
    rates (SFRs) are measured from the redshifted, relatively dust-insensitive Paschen-α
    emission line, and stellar mass measurements include the F444W (4.4 μm; rest-frame
    H) band. We find SFRs of galaxies with log(M*/M⊙) > 9.5 that are lower than found
    in many earlier studies by up to 0.6 dex, but in good agreement with recent results
    obtained with the Prospector fitting framework. The difference (log(SFR(Paα)-SFR(Prospector))
    is −0.09 ± 0.04 dex at 1010−11M⊙. We also measure the empirical relation between
    Paschen-α luminosity and rest-frame H-band magnitude and find that the scatter
    is only 0.04 dex lower than that of the SFR–M* relation and is much lower than
    the systematic differences among relations in the literature due to various methods
    of converting observed measurements to physical properties. We additionally identify
    examples of sources—that, with standard cutoffs via the UVJ diagram, would be
    deemed quiescent—with significant (log(sSFR)> −11 yr−1), typically extended, Paschen-α
    emission. Our results may be indicative of the potential unification of methods
    used to derive the SFS with careful selection of star-forming galaxies and independent
    SFR and stellar mass indicators.

  text: We present the first results on the spatial distribution of star formation
    in 454 star-forming galaxies just after the epoch of reionisation (4.8 < z < 6.5)
    using Hα emission-line maps and F444W imaging that traces the stellar continuum
    from the JWST FRESCO NIRCam Slitless Spectroscopy Survey. The Hα equivalent width
    profiles of star-forming galaxies across the main sequence at z ∼ 5.3 with stellar
    masses 6.8≤ log(M*/M⊙) < 11.1 increase with radius, which provides direct evidence
    for the inside-out growth of star-forming galaxies just after the epoch of reionisation.
    GALFIT was used to calculate half-light radii, Reff, and central surface densities
    within 1 kiloparsec, Σ1kpc of Hα and the continuum. At a fixed stellar mass of
    Log(M*/M⊙) = 9.5, Σ1kpc, Hα is 1.04 ± 0.05 times higher than Σ1kpc, C, Reff, Hα
    is 1.18 ± 0.03 times larger than Reff, C and both Reff measurements are smaller
    than 1 kiloparsec. These measurements suggest the rapid build-up of compact bulges
    via star formation just after the epoch of reionisation. By comparison to analogous
    work done at lower redshifts with Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 slitless spectroscopy
    as part of the 3D-HST (z ∼ 1) and CLEAR (z ∼ 0.5) surveys, we find that Reff(z)
    evolves at the same pace for Hα and the continuum, but Σ1kpc(z) evolves faster
    for Hα than the stellar continuum. As a function of the Hubble parameter, Reff, Hα/Reff,C = 1.1h(z)
    and Σ1 kpc, Hα/Σ1 kpc,C = h(z)1.3. These parametrisations suggest that the inside-out
    growth of the disk starts to dominate the inside-out growth of the bulge towards
    lower redshifts. This is supported by the redshift evolution in the EW(Hα) profiles
    from FRESCO, 3D-HST, and CLEAR at fixed stellar mass and when star-forming progenitors
    are traced, in which in EW(Hα) rapidly increases with radius within the half-light
    radius at z ∼ 5.3, but EW(Hα) increases only significantly with radius in the
    outer disk at z ∼ 0.5.

  text: "Aims. This paper utilises the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid-Infrared
    Instrument (MIRI) to extend the observational studies of dust and polycyclic aromatic
    hydrocarbon (PAH) emission to a new mass and star formation rate (SFR) parameter
    space beyond our local Universe. The combination of fully sampled spectral energy
    distributions (SEDs) with multiple mid-infrared (mid-IR) bands and the unprecedented
    sensitivity of MIRI allows us to investigate dust obscuration and PAH behaviour
    from z = 0.7 up to z = 2 in typical main-sequence galaxies. Our focus is on constraining
    the evolution of PAH strength and the dust-obscured luminosity fraction before
    and during cosmic noon, the epoch of peak star formation activity in the Universe.\r\n\r\nMethods.
    In this study, we utilise MIRI multi-band imaging data from the SMILES survey
    (5 to 25 μm), complemented with NIRCam photometry from the JADES survey (1 to
    5 μm), available HST photometry (0.4 to 0.9 μm), and spectroscopic redshifts from
    the FRESCO and JADES surveys in GOODS-S for 443 star-forming (without dominant
    active galactic nucleus (AGN)) galaxies at z = 0.7 − 2.0. This redshift range
    was chosen to ensure that the MIRI data cover mid-IR dust emission. Our methodology
    involved employing ultraviolet (UV) to IR energy balance SED fitting to robustly
    constrain the fraction of dust mass in PAHs and dust-obscured luminosity. Additionally,
    we inferred dust sizes from MIRI 15 μm imaging data, enhancing our understanding
    of the physical characteristics of dust within these galaxies.\r\n\r\nResults.
    We find a strong correlation between the fraction of dust in PAHs (PAH fraction,
    qPAH) with stellar mass. Moreover, the sub-sample with robust qPAH measurements
    (N = 216) shows a similar behaviour between qPAH and gas-phase metallicity to
    that at z ∼ 0, suggesting a universal relation: qPAH is constant (∼3.4%) above
    a metallicity of Z ∼ 0.5 Z⊙ and decreases to < 1% at metallicities ≲0.3 Z⊙. This
    indicates that metallicity is a good indicator of the interstellar medium properties
    that affect the balance between the formation and destruction of PAHs. The lack
    of a redshift evolution from z ∼ 0 − 2 also implies that above Z ∼ 0.5 Z⊙ the
    PAH emission effectively traces obscured luminosity and the previous locally calibrated
    PAH-SFR calibrations remain applicable in this metallicity regime. We observe
    a strong correlation between the obscured UV luminosity fraction (ratio of obscured
    to total luminosity) and stellar mass. Above the stellar mass of M* > 5 × 109
    M⊙, on average, more than half of the emitted luminosity is obscured, while there
    exists a non-negligible population of lower-mass galaxies with > 50% obscured
    fractions. At a fixed mass, the obscured fraction correlates with SFR surface
    density. This is a result of higher dust covering fractions in galaxies with more
    compact star-forming regions. Similarly, galaxies with high IRX (IR to UV luminosity)
    at a given mass or UV continuum slope (β) tend to have higher ΣSFR and shallower
    attenuation curves, owing to their higher effective dust optical depths and more
    compact star-forming regions."

  text: "Context. The escape of Lyman-α photons at redshifts greater than two is an
    ongoing subject of study and an important quantity to further understanding of
    Lyman-α emitters (LAEs), the transmission of Lyman-α photons through the interstellar
    medium and intergalactic medium, and the impact these LAEs have on cosmic reionisation.\r\n\r\nAims.
    This study aims to assess the Lyman-α escape fraction, fesc, Lyα, over the redshift
    range 2.9 < z < 6.7, focusing on Very Large Telescope/Multi Unit Spectroscopic
    Explorer (VLT/MUSE) selected, gravitationally lensed, intrinsically faint LAEs.
    These galaxies are of particular interest as the potential drivers of cosmic reionisation.\r\n\r\nMethods.
    We assessed fesc, Lyα in two ways: through an individual study of 96 LAEs behind
    the A2744 lensing cluster, with James Webb Space Telescope/Near-Infrared Camera
    (JWST/NIRCam) and HST data, and through a study of the global evolution of fesc, Lyα
    using the state-of-the-art luminosity functions for LAEs and the UV-selected ‘parent’
    population (dust-corrected). We compared these studies to those in the literature
    based on brighter samples.\r\n\r\nResults. We find a negligible redshift evolution
    of fesc, Lyα for our individual galaxies; it is likely that it was washed out
    by significant intrinsic scatter. We observed a more significant evolution towards
    higher escape fractions with decreasing UV magnitude and fit this relation. When
    comparing the two luminosity functions to derive fesc, Lyα in a global sense,
    we saw agreement with previous literature when integrating the luminosity functions
    to a bright limit. However, when integrating using a faint limit equivalent to
    the observational limits of our samples, we observed enhanced values of fesc, Lyα,
    particularly around z ∼ 6, where fesc, Lyα becomes consistent with 100% escape.
    This indicates for the faint regimes we sampled that galaxies towards reionisation
    tend to allow very large fractions of Lyman-α photons to escape. We interpret
    this as evidence of a lack of any significant dust in these populations; our sample
    is likely dominated by young, highly star-forming chemically unevolved galaxies.
    Finally, we assessed the contribution of the LAE population to reionisation using
    our latest values for fesc, Lyα and the LAE luminosity density. The dependence
    on the escape fraction of Lyman continuum photons is strong, but for values similar
    to those observed recently in z ∼ 3 LAEs and high-redshift analogues, LAEs could
    provide all the ionising emissivity necessary for reionisation."

  text: We expect luminous (M 1450 ≲ −26.5) high-redshift quasars to trace the highest-density
    peaks in the early Universe. Here, we present observations of four z ≳ 6 quasar
    fields using JWST/NIRCam in the imaging and wide-field slitless spectroscopy mode
    and report a wide range in the number of detected [O iii]-emitting galaxies in
    the quasars’ environments, ranging between a density enhancement of δ ≈ 65 within
    a 2 cMpc radius—one of the largest protoclusters during the Epoch of Reionization
    discovered to date—to a density contrast consistent with zero, indicating the
    presence of a UV-luminous quasar in a region comparable to the average density
    of the Universe. By measuring the two-point cross-correlation function of quasars
    and their surrounding galaxies, as well as the galaxy autocorrelation function,
    we infer a correlation length of quasars at 〈z〉 = 6.25 of r 0 QQ = 22.0 − 2.9
    + 3.0 cMpc h − 1 , while we obtain a correlation length of the [O iii]-emitting
    galaxies of r 0 GG = 4.1 ± 0.3 cMpc h − 1 . By comparing the correlation functions
    to dark-matter-only simulations we estimate the minimum mass of the quasars’ host
    dark matter halos to be log 10 ( M halo , min / M ⊙ ) = 12.43 − 0.15 + 0.13 (and
    log 10 ( M halo , min [ OIII ] / M ⊙ ) = 10.56 − 0.03 + 0.05 for the [O iii] emitters),
    indicating that (a) luminous quasars do not necessarily reside within the most
    overdense regions in the early Universe, and that (b) the UV-luminous duty cycle
    of quasar activity at these redshifts is f duty ≪ 1. Such short quasar activity
    timescales challenge our understanding of early supermassive black hole growth
    and provide evidence for highly dust-obscured growth phases or episodic, radiatively
    inefficient accretion rates.

  text: "Recent observations from the EIGER JWST program have measured for the first
    time the quasar–galaxy cross-correlation function at z ≈ 6. The autocorrelation
    function of faint z ≈ 6 quasars was also recently estimated. These measurements
    provide key insights into the properties of quasars and galaxies at high redshift
    and their relation with the host dark matter haloes. In this work, we interpret
    these data building upon an empirical quasar population model that has been applied
    successfully to quasar clustering and demographic measurements at z ≈ 2–4. We
    use a new, large-volume N-body simulation with more than a trillion particles,
    FLAMINGO-10k, to model quasars and galaxies simultaneously. We successfully reproduce
    observations of z ≈ 6 quasars and galaxies (i.e. their clustering properties and
    luminosity functions), and infer key quantities such as their luminosity–halo
    mass relation, the mass function of their host haloes, and their duty cycle/occupation
    fraction. Our key findings\r\nare (i) quasars reside on average in ≈ 1012.5 M
    haloes (corresponding to ≈ 5σ fluctuations in the initial conditions of the linear
    density field), but the distribution of host halo masses is quite broad; (ii)
    the duty cycle of (UV-bright) quasar activity is relatively low (≈ 1 per cent);
    (iii) galaxies (that are bright in [O III]) live in much smaller haloes (≈ 1010.9
    M) and have a larger duty cycle (occupation fraction) of ≈ 13 per cent. Finally,
    we focus on the inferred properties of quasars and present a homogeneous analysis
    of their evolution with redshift. The picture that emerges reveals a strong evolution
    of the host halo mass and duty cycle of quasars at z ≈ 2–6, and calls for new
    investigations of the role of quasar activity across cosmic time."

  text: "Context. Galaxies evolve through a dynamic exchange of material with their
    immediate surrounding environment, the so-called circumgalactic medium (CGM).
    Understanding the physics of gas flows and the nature of the CGM is fundamental
    to studying galaxy evolution, especially at 4 ≤ z ≤ 6 (i.e., after the Epoch of
    Reionization) when galaxies rapidly assembled their masses and reached their chemical
    maturity. Galactic outflows are predicted to enrich the CGM with metals, although
    it has also been suggested that gas stripping in systems undergoing a major merger
    may play a role.\r\n\r\nAims. In this work, we explore the metal enrichment of
    the medium around merging galaxies at z ∼ 4.5, observed by the ALMA Large Program
    to INvestigate [CII] at Early times (ALPINE). To do so, we study the nature of
    the [CII] 158 μm emission in the CGM around these systems, using simulations to
    help disentangle the mechanisms contributing to the CGM metal pollution.\r\n\r\nMethods.
    By adopting an updated classification of major merger systems in the ALPINE survey,
    we selected and analyzed merging galaxies whose components can be spatially and/or
    spectrally resolved in a robust way. This makes it possible to distinguish between
    the [CII] emission coming from the single components of the system and that coming
    from the system as a whole. We also made use of the dustyGadget cosmological simulation
    to select synthetic analogs of observed galaxies and guide the interpretation
    of the observational results.\r\n\r\nResults. We find a large diffuse [CII] envelope
    (≳20 kpc) embedding all the merging systems, with at least 25% of the total [CII]
    emission coming from the medium between the galaxies. Using predictions from dustyGadget,
    we suggest that this emission has a multi-fold nature, with dynamical interactions
    between galaxies playing a major role in stripping the gas and enriching the medium
    with heavy elements."

  text: In this paper, we describe the "Medium Bands, Mega Science" JWST Cycle 2 survey
    (JWST-GO-4111) and demonstrate the power of these data to reveal both the spatially
    integrated and spatially resolved properties of galaxies from the local Universe
    to the era of cosmic dawn. Executed in 2023 November, MegaScience obtained ∼30
    arcmin2 of deep multiband NIRCam imaging centered on the z ∼ 0.3 A2744 cluster,
    including 11 medium-band filters and the two shortest-wavelength broadband filters,
    F070W and F090W. Together, MegaScience and the UNCOVER Cycle 1 treasury program
    provide a complete set of deep (∼28–30 magAB) images in all NIRCam medium- and
    broadband filters. This unique data set allows us to precisely constrain photometric
    redshifts, map stellar populations and dust attenuation for large samples of distant
    galaxies, and examine the connection between galaxy structures and formation histories.
    MegaScience also includes ∼17 arcmin2 of NIRISS parallel imaging in two broadband
    and four medium-band filters from 0.9 to 4.8 μm, expanding the footprint where
    robust spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting is possible. We provide example
    SEDs and multiband cutouts at a variety of redshifts, and use a catalog of JWST
    spectroscopic redshifts to show that MegaScience improves both the scatter and
    catastrophic outlier rate of photometric redshifts by factors of 2–3. Additionally,
    we demonstrate the spatially resolved science enabled by MegaScience by presenting
    maps of the [O iii] line emission and continuum emission in three spectroscopically
    confirmed z > 6 galaxies. We show that line emission in reionization-era galaxies
    can be clumpy, extended, and spatially offset from continuum emission, implying
    that galaxy assembly histories are complex even at these early epochs. We publicly
    release fully reduced mosaics and photometric catalogs for both the NIRCam primary
    and NIRISS parallel fields (jwst-uncover.github.io/megascience).

  text: We present the census of Hβ+[OIII] 4960,5008 Åemitters at 6.8<z<9.0 from the
    JWST FRESCO survey over 124 arcmin2 in the GOODS-North and GOODS-South fields.
    Our unbiased spectroscopic search results in 137 spectroscopically-confirmed galaxies
    at 6.8<z<9.0 with observed [OIII] fluxes f[OIII]≳1×10−18 ergs s−1 cm−2. The rest-frame
    optical line ratios of the median stacked spectrum (median MUV=−19.65+0.59−1.05)
    indicate negligible dust attenuation, low metallicity (12+log(O/H)=7.2−7.7) and
    a high ionisation parameter log10U≃−2.5. We find a factor ×1.3 difference in the
    number density of 6.8<z<9.0 galaxies between GOODS-South and GOODS-North, which
    is caused by a single overdensity at 7.0<z<7.2 in GOODS-North. The bright end
    of the UV luminosity function of spectroscopically-confirmed [OIII] emitters is
    in good agreement with HST dropout-selected samples. Discrepancies between the
    observed [OIII] LF, [OIII]/UV ratio and [OIII] equivalent widths, and that predicted
    by theoretical models, suggest burstier star-formation histories and/or more heterogeneous
    metallicity and ionising conditions in z>7 galaxies. We report a rapid decline
    of the [OIII] luminosity density at z≳6−7 which cannot be explained by the evolution
    of the cosmic star-formation rate density. Finally we find that FRESCO detects
    in only 2h galaxies likely accounting for ∼10−20% of the ionising budget at z=7−8
    (assuming an escape fraction of 10%), raising the prospect of directly detecting
    a significant fraction of the sources of reionisation with JWST.

  text: With the remarkable sensitivity and resolution of JWST in the infrared, measuring
    rest-optical kinematics of galaxies at z > 5 has become possible for the first
    time. This study pilots a new method for measuring galaxy dynamics for highly
    multiplexed, unbiased samples by combining FRESCO NIRCam grism spectroscopy and
    JADES medium-band imaging. Here we present one of the first JWST kinematic measurements
    for a galaxy at z > 5. We find a significant velocity gradient, which, if interpreted
    as rotation, yields Vrot = 305 ± 70 km s−1, and we hence refer to this galaxy
    as Twister-z5. With a rest-frame optical effective radius of re = 2.25 kpc, the
    high rotation velocity in this galaxy is not due to a compact size, as may be
    expected in the early Universe, but rather to a high total mass, (math formula).
    This is a factor of roughly 10× higher than the stellar mass within re. We also
    observe that the radial Hα equivalent width profile and the specific star formation
    rate map from resolved stellar population modeling are centrally depressed by
    a factor of ∼1.5 from the center to re. Combined with the morphology of the line-emitting
    gas in comparison to the continuum, this centrally suppressed star formation is
    consistent with a star-forming disk surrounding a bulge growing inside out. While
    large, rapidly rotating disks are common to z ∼ 2, the existence of one after
    only 1 Gyr of cosmic time, shown for the first time in ionized gas, adds to the
    growing evidence that some galaxies matured earlier than expected in the history
    of the Universe.

  text: The physical conditions giving rise to high escape fractions of ionizing radiation
    (LyC fesc) in star-forming galaxies – most likely protagonists of cosmic reionization
    – are not yet fully understood. Using the VLT/MUSE observations of ∼1400 Ly α
    emitters at 2.9 &amp;lt; z &amp;lt; 6.7, we compare stacked rest-frame UV spectra
    of candidates for LyC leakers and non-leakers selected based on their Ly α profiles.
    We find that the stacks of potential LyC leakers, i.e. galaxies with narrow, symmetric
    Ly α profiles with small peak separation, generally show (i) strong nebular O iii]λ1666,
    [Si iii]λ1883, and [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 emission, indicating a high-ionization
    state of the interstellar medium (ISM); (ii) high equivalent widths of He iiλ1640
    (∼1 − 3 Å), suggesting the presence of hard ionizing radiation fields; (iii) Si ii*λ1533
    emission, revealing substantial amounts of neutral hydrogen off the line of sight;
    (iv) high C ivλλ1548,1550 to [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 ratios (C iv/C iii] ≳0.75)
    , signalling the presence of low column density channels in the ISM. In contrast,
    the stacks with broad, asymmetric Ly α profiles with large peak separation show
    weak nebular emission lines, low He iiλ1640 equivalent widths (≲1 Å), and low
    C iv/C iii] (≲0.25), implying low-ionization states and high-neutral hydrogen
    column densities. Our results suggest that C iv/C iii] might be sensitive to the
    physical conditions that govern LyC photon escape, providing a promising tool
    for identification of ionizing sources among star-forming galaxies in the epoch
    of reionization.

  text: 'The James Webb Space Telescope is revealing a new population of dust-reddened
    broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) at redshifts z ≳ 5. Here we present deep
    NIRSpec/Prism spectroscopy from the Cycle 1 Treasury program Ultradeep NIRSpec
    and NIRCam ObserVations before the Epoch of Reionization (UNCOVER) of 15 AGN candidates
    selected to be compact, with red continua in the rest-frame optical but with blue
    slopes in the UV. From NIRCam photometry alone, they could have been dominated
    by dusty star formation or an AGN. Here we show that the majority of the compact
    red sources in UNCOVER are dust-reddened AGN: 60% show definitive evidence for
    broad-line Hα with a FWHM > 2000 km s −1, 20% of the current data are inconclusive,
    and 20% are brown dwarf stars. We propose an updated photometric criterion to
    select red z > 5 AGN that excludes brown dwarfs and is expected to yield >80%
    AGN. Remarkably, among all zphot > 5 galaxies with F277W – F444W > 1 in UNCOVER
    at least 33% are AGN regardless of compactness, climbing to at least 80% AGN for
    sources with F277W – F444W > 1.6. The confirmed AGN have black hole masses of
    107–109M⊙. While their UV luminosities (−16 > MUV > −20 AB mag) are low compared
    to UV-selected AGN at these epochs, consistent with percent-level scattered AGN
    light or low levels of unobscured star formation, the inferred bolometric luminosities
    are typical of 107–109M⊙ black holes radiating at ∼10%–40% the Eddington limit.
    The number densities are surprisingly high at ∼10−5 Mpc−3 mag−1, 100 times more
    common than the faintest UV-selected quasars, while accounting for ∼1% of the
    UV-selected galaxies. While their UV faintness suggests they may not contribute
    strongly to reionization, their ubiquity poses challenges to models of black hole
    growth.'

  text: Characterizing the prevalence and properties of faint active galactic nuclei
    (AGNs) in the early Universe is key for understanding the formation of supermassive
    black holes (SMBHs) and determining their role in cosmic reionization. We perform
    a spectroscopic search for broad Hα emitters at z ≈ 4–6 using deep JWST/NIRCam
    imaging and wide field slitless spectroscopy from the EIGER and FRESCO surveys.
    We identify 20 Hα lines at z = 4.2–5.5 that have broad components with line widths
    from ∼1200–3700 km s−1, contributing ∼30%–90% of the total line flux. We interpret
    these broad components as being powered by accretion onto SMBHs with implied masses
    ∼107–8M⊙. In the UV luminosity range MUV,AGN+host = −21 to −18, we measure number
    densities of ≈10−5 cMpc−3. This is an order of magnitude higher than expected
    from extrapolating quasar UV luminosity functions (LFs). Yet, such AGN are found
    in only <1% of star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 5. The number density discrepancy
    is much lower when compared to the broad Hα LF. The SMBH mass function agrees
    with large cosmological simulations. In two objects, we detect complex Hα profiles
    that we tentatively interpret as caused by absorption signatures from dense gas
    fueling SMBH growth and outflows. We may be witnessing early AGN feedback that
    will clear dust-free pathways through which more massive blue quasars are seen.
    We uncover a strong correlation between reddening and the fraction of total galaxy
    luminosity arising from faint AGN. This implies that early SMBH growth is highly
    obscured and that faint AGN are only minor contributors to cosmic reionization.

  text: Observationally mapping the relation between galaxies and the intergalactic
    medium (IGM) is of key interest for studies of cosmic reionization. Diffuse hydrogen
    gas has typically been observed in H I Lyman-α (Lyα) absorption in the spectra
    of bright background quasars. However, it is important to extend these measurements
    to background galaxies as quasars become increasingly rare at high redshift and
    rarely probe closely separated sight lines. Here, we use deep integral field spectroscopy
    in the MUSE eXtremely Deep Field to demonstrate the measurement of the Lyα transmission
    at z ≈ 4 in absorption to a background galaxy at z = 4.77. The H I transmission
    is consistent with independent quasar sight lines at similar redshifts. Exploiting
    the high number of spectroscopic redshifts of faint galaxies (500 between z =
    4.0–4.7 within a radius of 8 arcmin) that are tracers of the density field, we
    show that Lyα transmission is inversely correlated with galaxy density, i.e. transparent
    regions in the Lyα forest mark underdense regions at z ≈ 4. Due to large-scale
    clustering, galaxies are surrounded by excess H I absorption over the cosmic mean
    out to 4 cMpc/h70. We also find that redshifts from the peak of the Lyα line are
    typically offset from the systemic redshift by +170 km s−1. This work extends
    results from z ≈ 2–3 to higher redshifts and demonstrates the power of deep integral
    field spectroscopy to simultaneously measure the ionization structure of the IGM
    and the large-scale density field in the early Universe.

  text: Submillimeter surveys toward overdense regions in the early Universe are essential
    for uncovering the obscured star formation and the cold gas content of assembling
    galaxies within massive dark matter halos. In this work, we present deep ALMA
    mosaic observations covering an area of ∼2′×2′ around MUSE Quasar Nebula 01 (MQN01),
    one of the largest and brightest Ly-α emitting nebulae discovered thus far; it
    surrounds a radio-quiet quasar at z ≃ 3.25. Our observations target the 1.2 and
    the 3 mm dust continuum as well as the carbon monoxide CO(4–3) transition in galaxies
    in the vicinity of the quasar. We identify a robust sample of 11 CO-line-emitting
    galaxies (including a closely separated quasar companion) that lie within ±4000 km s−1
    of the quasar systemic redshift. A fraction of these objects were missed in previous
    deep rest-frame optical/UV surveys, which highlights the critical role of (sub)millimeter
    imaging. We also detect a total of 11 sources revealed in the dust continuum at
    1.2 mm; six of them have either high-fidelity spectroscopic redshift information
    from rest-frame UV metal absorptions or the CO(4–3) line that places them in the
    same narrow redshift range. A comparison of the CO luminosity function and 1.2
    mm number count density with those of the general fields points to a galaxy overdensity
    of δ > 10. We find evidence of a systematic flattening at the bright end of the
    CO luminosity function with respect to the trend measured in blank fields. Our
    findings reveal that galaxies in dense regions at z ∼ 3 are more massive and significantly
    richer in molecular gas than galaxies in fields, which enables a faster and accelerated
    assembly. This is the first in a series of studies aimed at characterizing one
    of the densest regions of the Universe found so far at z > 3.

  text: We report JWST/NIRCam measurements of quasar host galaxy emissions and supermassive
    black hole (SMBH) masses for six quasars at 5.9 < z < 7.1 in the Emission-line
    galaxies and Intergalactic Gas in the Epoch of Reionization (EIGER) project. We
    obtain deep NIRCam imaging in the F115W, F200W, and F356W bands, as well as F356W
    grism spectroscopy of the quasars. We use bright unsaturated stars to construct
    models of the point-spread functions (PSFs) and estimate the errors of these PSFs.
    We then measure or constrain the fluxes and morphology of the quasar host galaxies
    by fitting the quasar images as a point source plus an exponential disk. We successfully
    detect the host galaxies of three quasars, which have host-to-quasar-flux ratios
    of ∼1%–5%. Spectral energy distribution fitting suggests that these quasar host
    galaxies have stellar masses of M* ≳ 1010M⊙. For quasars with host galaxy nondetections,
    we estimate the upper limits of their stellar masses. We use the grism spectra
    to measure the Hβ line profile and the continuum luminosity, then estimate the
    SMBH masses for the quasars. Our results indicate that the positive relation between
    SMBH masses and host galaxy stellar masses already exists at redshift z ≳ 6. The
    quasars in our sample show a high BH-to-stellar-mass ratio of MBH/M* ∼ 0.15, which
    is about ∼2 dex higher than local relations. We find that selection effects only
    contribute partially to the high MBH/M* ratios of high-redshift quasars. This
    result hints at a possible redshift evolution of the MBH–M* relation.

  text: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revolutionizing our knowledge of
    z > 5 galaxies and their actively accreting black holes. Using the JWST Cycle
    1 Treasury program Ultradeep NIRSpec and NIRCam Observations before the Epoch
    of Reionization (UNCOVER) in the lensing field A2744, we report the identification
    of a sample of little red dots at 3 < zphot < 7 that likely contain highly reddened
    accreting supermassive black holes. Using a NIRCam-only selection to F444W < 27.7
    mag, we find 26 sources over the ∼45 arcmin^2 field that are blue in F115W − F200W
    ∼ 0 (or βUV ∼ –2.0 for fλ ∝ λ^β), red in F200W − F444W = 1−4 (βopt ∼ +2.0), and
    are dominated by a point-source-like central component. Of the 20 sources with
    deep Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) 1.2 mm coverage, none
    are detected individually or in a stack. For the majority of the sample, spectral
    energy distribution fits to the JWST+ALMA observations prefer models with hot
    dust rather than obscured star formation to reproduce the red NIRCam colors and
    ALMA 1.2 mm nondetections. While compact dusty star formation cannot be ruled
    out, the combination of extremely small sizes (〈re〉 ≈ 50 pc after correction for
    magnification), red rest-frame optical slopes, and hot dust can be explained by
    reddened broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Our targets have faint M1450
    ≈ −14 to −18 mag but inferred bolometric luminosities of Lbol = 10^43–10^46 erg
    s^−1, reflecting their obscured nature. If the candidates are confirmed as AGNs
    with upcoming UNCOVER spectroscopy, then we have found an abundant population
    of reddened luminous AGNs that are at least ten times more numerous than UV-luminous
    AGNs at the same intrinsic bolometric luminosity.
