text: "Early results from JWST suggest that Epoch of Reionization (EoR) galaxies
produce copious ionizing photons, which, if they escape efficiently, could cause
reionization to occur too early. We study this problem using JWST imaging and
prism spectroscopy for 412 galaxies at 4.5 < z < 9.0. We fit these data simultaneously
with stellar population and nebular emission models that include a parameter for
the fraction of ionizing photons that escape the galaxy, fesc. We find that the
ionization production efficiency, ξion = Q(H0)/LUV, increases with redshift and
decreasing UV luminosity, but shows significant scatter, (log ion z, MUV) 0.3
dex. The inferred escape fractions averaged over the population are low, ranging
from〈fesc〉 ≃ 2.6% ± 1.4% at 6 < z < 9 to 6.5% ± 2.2% at 4.5 < z < 6, with weak
or no indication of evolution with redshift. This implies that in our models most
of the ionizing photons need to be absorbed to account for the nebular emission.
We compute the impact of our results on reionization, including the distributions
for ξion and fesc, and the evolution and uncertainty of the UV luminosity function.
Considering galaxies brighter than MUV < −16 mag would produce an intergalactic
medium hydrogen-ionized fraction of xe = 0.5 at 5.3 < z < 5.8, possibly too late
compared to constraints from from quasistellar\r\nobject (QSO) sight lines. Including
fainter galaxies, MUV < −14 mag, we obtain xe = 0.5 at 6.0 < z < 8.1, fully consistent
with QSO and cosmic microwave background data. This implies that EoR galaxies
produce plenty of ionizing photons, but that these do not efficiently escape.
This may be a result of high gas column densities combined with burstier star
formation histories, which limit the time massive stars are able to clear channels
through the gas for ionizing photons to escape."

text: Quantum control of the many-body wavefunction is a central challenge in quantum
materials research, as it could yield a precise control knob to manipulate emergent
phenomena. Floquet engineering, the coherent dressing of quantum states with periodic
non-resonant optical fields, has become an important strategy for quantum control.
Most applications to solid-state systems have targeted weakly interacting or single-ion
states, leaving the manipulation of many-body wavefunctions largely unexplored.
Here we use Floquet engineering to achieve quantum control of a strongly correlated
Hubbard exciton in the one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3. A non-resonant
mid-infrared optical field coherently dresses the exciton wavefunction, driving
its rotation between bright and dark states. We use resonant third-harmonic generation
to quantify ultrafast π/2 rotations on the Bloch sphere spanned by these exciton
states. Our work advances the quest towards programmable control of correlated
states and exciton-based quantum sensing.

text: Little red dots (LRDs) are a newly identified class of broad-line active galactic
nuclei (AGNs) with a distinctive V-shaped spectrum characterized by red optical
and blue UV continuum emission. Their high abundance at redshifts of z ∼ 6–8 and
decline at lower redshifts suggest a transient origin. We propose that the spectral
shape of LRDs originates from compact binary black hole systems, in which each
black hole is surrounded by a mini-disk and embedded within a larger circumbinary
disk. With a binary separation of ≲103 Schwarzschild radii, the Wien tail of a
T ≃ 5000 K blackbody spectrum at the inner edge of the circumbinary disk produces
the red optical emission, while the mini-disks power the UV continuum. Binary
torques carve out a gap between the circumbinary disk and the mini-disks, setting
the turnover wavelength of the V-shaped spectrum around the Balmer limit. This
scenario naturally reproduces LRD spectra requiring only modest dust attenuation
(AV ≲ 1 mag), resolving overestimated luminosities for LRDs in previous studies
and alleviating a tension with the so-called Sołtan argument. This model predicts
distinct spectral evolution as the binary orbit decays through binary disk interactions
and gravitational-wave (GW) emission, linking early-stage “proto-LRD” binaries
to the broader AGN population and late-stage “LRD descendants” to coalescing binaries
detectable in GW experiments.

text: Redox-mediated flow batteries boost energy density by utilizing dissolved
redox species as charge carriers for solid charge-storage materials. This strategy
strongly depends on the thermodynamics and kinetics between the solid booster
and dissolved redox species. Conventional electrochemical methods often convolute
intrinsic reactivity with mass transport effects, introducing complexity in determining
limiting steps. We propose a strategy that confines solid boosters within recessed
microelectrodes and employs scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to estimate
reaction kinetics between booster and dissolved active redox species. Confining
the solid booster in the recessed microelectrode overcomes mass transport limitations
of dissolved redox species and enables controlled polarization of the booster
material, allowing deconvolution of key rate-determining factors. As an initial
model system, Prussian blue-ferricyanide/ferrocyanide [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− was used
as solid booster and dissolved redox active species, respectively. The methodology
was further explored for copper hexacyanoferrate with N,N,N-2,2,6,6-heptamethylpiperidinyl
oxy-4-ammonium chloride and nickel hydroxide with [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− and extended
to Mn-based Prussian blue analogues in combination with organic redox species.
Our results demonstrate that SECM coupled with the proposed recessed microelectrode
strategy provides a powerful platform to disentangle interfacial kinetics and
guide the rational design of solid booster-dissolved redox species and electrolytes
for high-performance redox-mediated flow batteries.

nitrogen enrichment by Wolf Rayet nitrogen (WN) stars in the metal-poor (∼10%Z⊙),
lensed, compact (Reff ∼ 20 pc) galaxy RXCJ2248 at z = 6.1, revealed by unprecedentedly

pattern of extreme N/O enhancement (\r\n from N+, N+2, and N+3) but suppressed C/O
relative to empirical C/N trends. We show that this abundance pattern can be explained

tracer of galaxy evolution is the change in their chemical composition over time.
The metallicity of a galaxy is a sensitive observational diagnostic of its past
star formation history and present-day evolutionary state given that metallicity
increases with each successive generation of massive star yields (e.g., M. Tosi
1988; J.-R. Roy & D. Kunth 1995; D. A. Berg et al. 2019; R. Maiolino & F. Mannucci
2019). Oxygen is an important tracer of metallicity because it is the most abundant
element in the Universe after H and He and is convenient to observe, with ubiquitous
emission lines from H ii regions in the rest-frame optical regime. While O emission
in dwarf and spiral galaxies has been widely observed in the rest-frame optical
and UV (e.g., R. C. Kennicutt 1992; Y. I. Izotov & T. X. Thuan 1999; L. van Zee
& M. Haynes2006; D. A. Berg et al. 2012, 2016, 2019; P. Senchyna et al. 2017; N.
S. J. Rogers et al. 2022), the N emission in these same galaxies has been predominantly
traced only in the optical through the low-ionization [N ii] λλ6550,6585 emission
lines. In general, there is a surprising dearth of detections of the high-ionization
N emission counterparts in local galaxies, totaling less than 10 galaxies with significant
detections of either N iv] λλ1483,1486 or N iii] λ1750 (e.g., M. Mingozzi et al.
2022; Z. Martinez et al. 2025). However, with the advent of JWST, there is a growing
prevalence of z ≳ 5 galaxies with extreme properties, including intense UV N emission
(e.g., A. J. Bunker et al. 2023; Y. Isobe et al. 2023; M. Castellano et al. 2024;
T. Y.-Y. Hsiao et al. 2024; X. Ji et al. 2024; R. Marques-Chaves et al. 2024; D.
Schaerer et al. 2024; M. Curti et al. 2025a; Y. Harikane et al. 2025a; R. P. Naidu
et al. 2026; M. W. Topping et al. 2025b).\r\n\r\nThe first noted, and one of the
most distant, examples of extreme rest-frame UV N emission comes from the spectroscopically
confirmed z = 10.6 galaxy, GN-z11. JWST spectra of GN-z11 revealed surprisingly
strong N iv] λλ1483,1486 and N iii] λ1750 emission (e.g., A. J. Bunker et al. 2023)
that corresponds to supersolar nitrogen-to-oxygen (N/O) enrichment (\r\n; e.g.,
A. J. Cameron et al. 2023). Subsequently, enhanced N/O has been reported in a number
of high−z galaxies, including GDS 3073 (z = 5.55; X. Ji et al. 2024), RXCJ2248-ID
(z = 6.10; M. W. Topping et al. 2024), A1703-zd6 (z = 7.04; M. W. Topping et al.
2025b), CEERS-1019 (z = 8.68; R. Marques-Chaves et al. 2024), GNz9p4 (z = 9.38;
D. Schaerer et al. 2024), GHZ9 (z = 10.15; L. Napolitano et al. 2025), GHZ2 (z =
12.34; M. Castellano et al. 2024), and MoM-z14 (z = 14.44; R. P. Naidu et al. 2026).
For a review of nitrogen line detections, see D. P. Stark et al. (2025). Such strong
nebular N+3 emission requires a relatively hard ionizing radiation field (≳47.4
eV), where models of massive stars predict few photons. On the other hand, N+2 has
a lower ionization potential (∼29.6 eV), but statistically significant detections
are strikingly rare in integrated galaxy spectra (e.g., D. A. Berg et al. 2018;
M. Mingozzi et al. 2022; A. J. Bunker et al. 2023; P. Senchyna et al. 2024) and
are only expected to be strong at the highest possible nebular temperatures (∼2.5
× 104 K). Furthermore, the timing of the incredibly high N/O abundances reported
for the high-redshift UV N emitters just a few 100 Myr after the Big Bang is unexpected.\r\n\r\nThe
discovery of significant, rapid nitrogen enhancement so early in the Universe was
surprising because it contradicts our longstanding understanding of N production.
In typical chemical evolution modeling, some nitrogen enrichment can occur early
on via core collapse supernova (CCSN), but substantial nitrogen enrichment only
occurs 100 s of megayears after the onset of star formation via asymptotic giant
branch (AGB) stars (e.g., F. Vincenzo et al. 2019; C. Kobayashi et al. 2020). Thus,
alternative, faster enrichment methods are needed to explain substantial nitrogen
enrichment in early galaxies. As a result, the necessary ionizing flux and conditions
to produce the unexpectedly strong N+3 and N+2 emission observed in galaxies beyond
z ∼ 5 have been attributed to more extreme sources, such as active galactic nuclei
(AGN; R. Maiolino et al. 2024), Wolf Rayet (WR) stars (e.g., P. Senchyna et al.
2024; K. Watanabe et al. 2024; M. L. P. Gunawardhana et al. 2025), globular cluster
precursors (e.g., C. Charbonnel et al. 2023; X. Ji et al. 2026), super star clusters
(e.g., M. Pascale et al. 2023), very massive stars (VMSs: M⋆ > 102 M⊙; e.g., J.
S. Vink 2023; Y. Shi et al. 2026), or supermassive stars (M⋆ > 103 M⊙; e.g., C.
Charbonnel et al. 2023; C. Nagele & H. Umeda 2023), tidal disruption events (e.g.,
A. J. Cameron et al. 2023; K. Watanabe et al. 2024), and more.\r\n\r\nMost of our
understanding of WR stars has been built from observations of individual resolved
stars in a handful of galaxies in the Local Group, with almost no direct spectroscopic
evidence for the prevalence of WR stars in more distant galaxies. To date, only
two systems at Cosmic Noon (z ≈ 2–3) have confirmed signatures of WR stars: MARTA-4327
at z = 2.224 (hereafter, M4327; M. Curti et al. 2025b) and the Sunburst Arc at z
= 2.37 (T. E. Rivera-Thorsen et al. 2024). Extending such detections to earlier
cosmic epochs is crucial for understanding the role of massive stars in shaping
the chemical evolution of galaxies in the first Gyr.\r\n\r\nHere, we investigate
the z = 6.1 lensed galaxy RXCJ2248-ID3. RXCJ2248-ID was first identified by F. Boone
et al. (2013), I. Balestra et al. (2013), and A. Monna et al. (2014) and discovered
to be a high-ionization, compact, metal-poor, N-enhanced galaxy by R. Mainali et
al. (2017), K. B. Schmidt et al. (2017), and M. W. Topping et al. (2024). We present
extremely deep JWST/NIRSpec observations of RXCJ2248-ID3 that provide the highest-redshift
spectroscopic evidence of WR nitrogen (WN) stars to date, which provide a physically
consistent mechanism driving its extreme nitrogen enrichment (M. W. Topping et al.
2024). The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. The observations and
data reduction are briefly described in Section 2.1, followed by a description of
the emission-line fits, including the broad lines related to the WR feedback, in
Section 2.2. We present the discovery of WN stars at z ∼ 6 via their spectral signatures
in Section 3. We determine new nebular properties and O, C, N, and Si abundances
in Section 4.3 and compare them to populations of both low- and high-redshift galaxies.
We discuss the source of N enrichment in the early Universe and subsequently estimate
mass production and timing arguments in Section 5. Finally, we present our conclusions
in Section 6. Throughout this work, we adopt cosmological parameters of H0 = 70
km s−1 Mpc−1, Ωm = 0.30, and ΩΛ = 0.7 and the solar abundance pattern from M. Asplund
et al. (2021).\r\n\r\n2. JWST/NIRSpec Spectra\r\nRXCJ2248 is a galaxy at z ∼ 6.1
that is lensed into multiple images by the Abell S1063 cluster (α = 22:48:44.13,
δ =−44:31:57.50) at a redshift of z = 0.348. We present an analysis of the brightest
image, RXCJ2248-ID3 (J = 25.0), which has a magnification of μ ∼ 7 (L. Furtak et
al. 2025). RXCJ2248-ID was discovered as a z ∼ 6 candidate (F. Boone et al. 2013;
A. Monna et al. 2014) using the 16-band HST photometry of the CLASH Survey and spectroscopically
confirmed via VIsible Multi-Object Spectrograph (VIMOS)/VLT observations by I. Balestra
et al. (2013). RXCJ2248-ID3 was soon found to be an exciting extreme emission-line
galaxy via ground-based spectroscopy (R. Mainali et al. 2017), with strong detections
of high-ionization emission such as O iii] λλ1661,1666 and C ivλλ1548,1550 but no
He ii, suggesting star formation as the ionizing source rather than an AGN.\r\n\r\nThe
early spectra of RXCJ2248-ID3 motivated further rest-UV+optical study with JWST/NIRSpec
by M. W. Topping et al. (2024). This work performed direct metallicity calculations
to show that RXCJ2248-ID3 is one of the most extreme N/O-enhanced (), metal-poor
() galaxies, with high-ionization ([O iii] λ5008/[O ii] λ3728 = 184) and high nebular
density (6.4 × 104 ≤ ne(cm−3) ≤3.1 × 105). They also used spectral energy distribution
(SED) fitting with a constant star formation history to characterize its low stellar
mass (M⋆ ∼ 108 M⊙) and the young-massive star population (∼2 Myr) of RXCJ2248. M.
W. Topping et al. (2024), therefore, suggest that the N/O enrichment may be due
to a short-lived phase that many z > 6 bursty galaxies experience. In this paper,
we build on the work of M. W. Topping et al. (2024) with new, extraordinarily deep
rest-optical JWST/NIRSpec observations of RXCJ2248-ID3 from the GLIMPSE-D Survey,
a Director’s Discretionary Time (DDT) follow-up program described below.\r\n\r\n2.1.
Observations and Reduction\r\nThe work presented here uses both the rest-UV JWST/NIRSpec
archival spectra from JWST PID 2478 (PI Stark) and new rest-optical JWST/NIRSpec
spectra from the GLIMPSE-D Survey, which is an extension of the GLIMPSE Survey.

The redshift was determined from the GLIMPSE-D spectrum emission lines. GLIMPSE
imaging was used to determine the lensing model magnification, μ. Effective radius
of the RXCJ2248-ID3 clump, stellar mass, and current massive star population age
are from the SED modeling of A. Claeyssens (2025), while the SFR was determined
from both the SED fitting and the narrow-component, collisions-corrected Hα flux
(see Section 5.3), all corrected for the lensing factor. The star formation rate
surface density was determined using the SFRHα. The metallicity and relative N/O
abundance were determined using the direct method.\r\n\r\nDownload table as: \r\nASCIITypeset
image\r\n\r\nThe GLIMPSE Survey is a large Cycle 2 JWST program (PID 3293; PIs Atek
& Chisholm) that performed ultradeep NIRCam imaging (∼30.8 mag at 5σ over 0.8–5
μm) in seven broadband and two medium-band filters of the lensing cluster Abell
S1063 (H. Atek et al. 2025). A. Claeyssens (2025) performed size and photometric
measurements of RXCJ2248-ID in the different multiple images. The SED fitting was
performed with the Bayesian Analysis of Galaxies for Physical Inference and Parameter
Estimation (BAGPIPES; A. C. Carnall et al. 2018) code with Binary Population and
Spectral Synthesis (BPASS v2.14, J. J. Eldridge et al. 2017) stellar population
synthesis burst models and cloudy v23.01 photoionization models (M. Chatzikos et
al. 2023; C. M. Gunasekera et al. 2023). Priors were used to be physically consistent
with the source, i.e., high-ionization parameter (), low extinction (Av < 0.5 mag),
low metallicity (Z < 0.4 Z⊙), and bursty star formation (τ = 1 Myr, i.e., close
to a single burst, or τ = 10 Myr). The resulting best fit has a young age ( Myr)
and low stellar mass of but within a compact size of pc such that the stellar mass
surface density is . This value is akin to the highest densities found in globular
clusters, similar to the ones reported for young star clusters and clumps at high
redshift (A. Claeyssens et al. 2025; M. Messa et al. 2026), and broadly consistent
with the conclusions presented in M. W. Topping et al. (2024).\r\n\r\nSubsequent
medium-resolution (R ∼ 1000) spectra of RXCJ2248-ID3 were obtained as part of the
follow-up GLIMPSE-D Survey: JWST DDT Program 9223 (PIs Fujimoto & Naidu) targeting
a Pop III candidate in S. Fujimoto et al. (2025) using NIRSpec Multi-Object Spectroscopy
(MOS) with the G395M grating and F290LP filter. As part of this program, RXCJ2248-ID3
was observed for a total of 13 exposures using a 3-point nod pattern and NRSIRS2
readout, totaling ∼30 hr of integration. The MSA slit positions covering RXCJ2248-ID3
of the three pointings are shown in Figure 1.\r\n\r\nZoom InZoom OutReset image

rest-far-UV G140M/F100LP and rest-near-UV G235M/F170LP observations from PID 2478
(PI Stark), covering the rest-frame ∼1400–4000 Å range. This program also observed
the G395M/F290LP setting, but we only use the significantly deeper GLIMPSE-D G395M
observations here. Multiple images of RXCJ2248 were identified and observed in program
#2478. M. W. Topping et al. (2024) utilized these data by coadding the spectra of
the individual images. In contrast, only the brightest image (ID3) was observed
in the GLIMPSE-D Survey. To ensure consistency, we therefore restricted our analysis
to the G140M and G235M spectra of ID3 obtained in program #2478. As a result, our
G140M and G235M measurements are not directly comparable to those presented by M.
W. Topping et al. (2024).\r\n\r\nThe data were reduced using v0.9.8 of the msaexp
pipeline (G. Brammer 2022), following the standard routines described in A. de Graaff
et al. (2025), K. E. Heintz et al. (2025), and F. Valentino et al. (2025). Briefly,
level-2 calibrated products from MAST are subject to a series of custom corrections
that account for, e.g., 1/f noise, bar vignetting, and detector bias. We used the
“local” nodded background subtraction. The 2D spectra were drizzled onto a common
wavelength grid and 1D spectra were optimally extracted using a profile model that
accounts for, e.g., the wavelength-dependent PSF and offsets from the nominal position
expected from the catalog. Line centers were measured for the strongest emission
lines in the G395M spectrum (i.e., Hδ, Hγ, [O iii] λ4364, Hβ, [O iii] λλ4960,5008,
He iλ5877, Hα, He iλ7067) and used to determine a redshift of z = 6.1025 ± 0.0013.
Note that the bluest portion of the G395M tends to favor a slightly lower redshift
(i.e., z ∼ 6.1000), while the reddest portion favors a slightly higher redshift
(i.e., z ∼ 6.1034). The three individual 1D extracted spectra were then normalized
to the common continuum flux scale of the first spectrum at rest-wavelengths of
∼6000–62000 Å prior to coadding. Spectral coaddition was performed as a weighted
average using the inverse variance as the weight.\r\n\r\nThe resulting spectrum,
shown in Figure 2, covers an observed wavelength range ∼2.8–5.5 μm, which corresponds
to a rest-optical range of ∼3900–7740 Å. Note that the third pointing (dashed slits
in Figure 1) has reduced wavelength coverage such that the blue end begins at ∼4265.
The deep GLIMPSE-D spectra provide unparalleled signal-to-noise ratio (S/N; >5 at
5100 Å continuum) that enable rest-optical diagnostics typically reserved for nearby
galaxies.\r\n\r\nZoom InZoom OutReset image size\r\nFigure 2. JWST/NIRSpec rest-frame

of several high-ionization emission lines, including N iv] λλ1483,1486, C iv λλ1548,1550,

high S/N GLIMPSE-D optical spectrum, enabling detections of several weak features.
Note that some of the important features to this work are highlighted in the zoom

WR detection to date, with the λ4650 WR bump showing emission from N iii λ4642,
indicative of nitrogen enrichment from WN stars. Note that not all of the labeled

image\r\n2.2. Emission-line Measurements\r\nIn order to perform a consistent analysis
of our data, we measure emission-line fluxes for both the archival spectra and the
new GLIMPSE-D spectra presented here. We fit neighboring emission lines simultaneously
using Gaussian profiles with the lmfit package (M. Newville et al. 2015) in Python.
Purely nebular lines (i.e., lines without possible stellar contributions or resonant
effects) close in wavelengths were constrained to have the same full width at half-maximum
(FWHM) velocity widths. Additionally, the relative wavelength spacing between lines
was constrained to laboratory values and doublets with constant flux ratios set
by atomic physics were constrained to their theoretical values, with small uncertainty
allowances. The uncertainties on the line fluxes were estimated as the standard
error derived from the least-squares minimization in lmfit, which considers the
uncertainty on the Gaussian profile and linear continuum.\r\n\r\nBroad emission
components are clearly visible at the base of some of the emission lines in the
GLIMPSE-D spectrum of RXCJ2248-ID3. Such broad emission features can be produced
by stellar winds, shocks, or turbulence. Since He iiλ1640 and λ4687 emission lines
can be affected by stellar winds, we fit these features with an unconstrained Gaussian
width. Using the jwst-msa package (A. de Graaff et al. 2024), we deconvolved all
measured FWHMs with the modeled wavelength-dependent line spread function (LSF).
We found the He ii lines to be broadened compared to purely nebular lines. For the
He iiλ 4687 line, the velocity width is 528 ± 100 km s−1, which is more than two
times broader than the narrow nebular Hβ component with vFWHM = 243 ± 25 km s−1.\r\n\r\nThe
strongest rest-optical H (Hγ, Hβ, and Hα) and [O iii] (λ4364, λλ4960,5008) emission
lines have complex profiles with both narrow and broad emission components. Such
broad components may also be present in the rest-UV and fainter rest-optical emission
lines, but none are obvious given the lower S/N of these emission features and/or
underlying continuum. To fit these profiles, we tested three different multicomponent
profile combination fits for the Hα + [N ii] complex. For all three fits, the narrow
Hα and [N ii] λλ6550,6585 lines were fit by Gaussians with a single velocity width,
but the broad component was fit with either: (1) a single Gaussian profile, (2)
two Gaussian profiles, or (3) a single exponential profile. The single broad Gaussian
profile fit had strong residuals near the center of the broad component, so did
not provide a good fit to the observed emission profile. Both the double Gaussian
profile and the exponential profile provided relatively good visual fits, but the
double Gaussian fit had a lower reduced chi-squared ( vs ) and Bayesian inference
criteria (BIC2Gauss = 36 versus (BICexp. = 87), and so was adopted as the better
statistical fit.\r\n\r\nThe right panel of Figure 3 shows the best multicomponent
fit to the Hα + [N ii] complex. Since all kinematically similar lines in the Balmer
emission series arise from the same gas, we expect the Hβ and Hγ profiles to be
well fit by scaling the Hα best fit. Therefore, we constrained the velocity widths
of the Hβ and Hγ emission components to match the narrow + double broad Gaussian
Hα fit, accounting for the wavelength-dependent LSF. We found excellent fit results,
with similarly small reduced-χ2 and BIC values. This means that the H i lines are
well fit by a profile with (1) a strong, narrow (∼250 km s−1) nebular component,
(2) a moderate (∼20% of total flux), broad component (∼670 km s−1), and (3) a weak
(∼10% of total flux), very broad (∼2530 km s−1) component.\r\n\r\nZoom InZoom OutReset

of RXCJ2248-ID for Hα λ6565 + [N II] λλ6549,6585 (left panels), Hβ λ4863 + [O III]
λλ4960,5008 (middle panels), and Hγ λ4342 + [O III] λ4364 (right panels). When fit
with single, narrow Gaussian components (e.g., purple and yellow filled Gaussians),
all three line complexes show strong, broad component residual flux. The resulting
best fit to each line is comprised of a single narrow Gaussian plus two broad Gaussians,
where the relevant component velocity widths are tied together: The Hα λ6565 + [N
ii] λλ6549,6585 complex fit provided the velocity width constraints for the H Balmer
line narrow (purple Gaussians) and broad components (blue and green Gaussians) and,
subsequently, the Hβ λ4863 + [O iii] λλ4960,5008 fit constrained the [O iii] narrow
(yellow Gaussian) and broad (orange and red Gaussians) velocity widths that were
then used in the Hγ λ4342 + [O iii] λ4364 fit. Note that additional faint lines
(e.g., He i λ5017) were included in the fit in the middle panel. Careful accounting
for the residual broad flux has a significant impact on the derived nebular reddening,
temperature, metallicity, and N/O abundance.\r\n\r\nDownload figure:\r\n\r\nStandard
imageHigh-resolution image\r\nThe [O iii] λλ4960,5008 doublet lines are also well
fit by a narrow Gaussian plus double Gaussian broad component profile, with the
relative fluxes of each component constrained to the theoretical ratio. While the
narrow-component FWHM was set to the velocity width of the narrow Balmer lines,
convolved with the LSF, we allowed the FWHM of the two broad [O iii] components
to vary freely and found widths of ∼890 km s−1 and ∼2980 km s−1, respectively. The
similarity between the [O iii] and H i velocity widths of the broad components argues
against emission from an AGN directly (where high densities cause collisional de-excitation
of [O iii]) and is more consistent with stellar or AGN driven winds (e.g., Y. I.
Izotov & T. X. Thuan 2008; G. Gräfener & J. S. Vink2015; G. Gräfener et al. 2017;
C. J. Burke et al. 2021). Interestingly, the broad components of the H i lines compose
a larger fraction of their total flux (∼20% and 10%, respectively) than [O iii]
(∼10% and 5%, respectively).\r\n\r\nThe resulting fit to the Hβ + [O iii] λλ4960,5008
complex is shown in the middle panel of Figure 3 to be an excellent fit, with minimal
residuals. The exquisite S/N of the GLIMPSE spectrum also reveals broad wings on
the [O iii] λ4364 profile, as seen in the left panel of Figure 3. Therefore, we
also applied the narrow Gaussian plus double Gaussian broad component profile to
[O iii] λ4364, constraining the velocity widths to the values measured for [O iii]
λλ4960,5008.\r\n\r\nDouble broad components with similar velocity widths (750 and
2500 km s−1, respectively) are seen in the z ∼ 0 extreme emission-line galaxies,
J1044+0353 and J1418+2102, reported in D. A. Berg et al. (2021). However, each broad
component observed in these nearby analogs only accounts for 1%–3% of the total
H i flux. This sort of broad component emission from the Balmer H and [O iii] lines
with widths (1000–2000 km s−1) and fractional fluxes of 1%–2% is commonly found
in spectra of blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs; e.g., Y. I. Izotov et al. 2006,
2007). This suggests that bulk motion of the gas is typical in these metal-poor,
bursty environments, but for a larger mass of gas in RXCJ2248-ID3.\r\n\r\nThe sensitive
accounting of broad component emission afforded by the deep GLIMPSE-D spectra is
important because even a small fraction of broad emission around H emission line
can significantly affect the fit to weak lines such as [N ii] λλ6550,6585 (e.g.,
D. A. Berg et al. 2021). In RXCJ2248-ID, the broad components compose a significant
fraction of the total H and [O iii] fluxes, and so are critical to properly measure
not only the [N ii] λ6585 emission but also the [O iii] λ4364, Hβ, [O iii] λλ4960,5008,
and Hα narrow-line fluxes. For this reason, we adopt the narrow-line fluxes from
our best multicomponent fits for the remaining analysis; we reserve further investigation
of the the broad emission for a forthcoming paper.\r\n\r\nAs noted above, the UV
spectra do not have sufficient S/N to decompose narrow and possible broad components.
As a result, density diagnostics and relative abundance ratios determined from UV
line ratios may include contributions from multiple kinematic components. If the
broad components arise from gas with distinct physical conditions, this could introduce
systematic offsets. We test the level of bias possible due to broad component contamination
of narrow-line fluxes by adopting the relative narrow and broad component profiles
of [O iii] λ5008 as a template for collisionally excited lines. The broad component
areas overlap with the narrow profile such that the broad components are responsible
for 8.6% and 2.2% of the narrow-component flux, or 10.8% in total. We use this fraction
to set the upper contamination limit of potential broad components to the UV emission
lines and determine the impact on nebular density, temperature, and abundance calculations
in Section 4.4.\r\n\r\n2.3. Reddening Correction\r\nThe observed Balmer decrement
of the narrow Hα/Hβ lines is FHα/FHβ = 3.48, implying either a moderate amount of
dust is present or collisional enhancement of Hα. This value disagrees with the
results of M. W. Topping et al. (2024), who measured an observed decrement of 2.55
± 0.05 that they found to be consistent with no dust attenuation. Similarly, A.
Crespo Gómez et al. (2025) used high-resolution NIRSpec/G395H data to fit multiple
component Balmer decrements for RXCJ2248-ID3, finding a narrow-component FHα/FHβ
= 2.7 that is consistent with no attenuation, but broad- and very broad-component
decrements of 4.3 and 6.6, respectively, that imply differential extinction. We
too find higher FHα/FHβ ratios for the broad components, but the source of this
increase is not clear; it could indicate higher dust in the broad component gas,
as suggested by A. Crespo Gómez et al. (2025), or result from significant collisional
enhancement of Hα.\r\n\r\nFortunately, the GLIMPSE-D spectrum provides a significant
increase in S/N in the continuum, allowing for more robust fitting of broad components,
including in the Hγ and [O iii] λ4364 and λ5008 lines. Fitting the broad components
directly in the [O iii] lines offers the advantage over previous works that we do
not need to correct for broad component contamination with differential extinction
in our Te calculation. Furthermore, by fitting the broad components in Hγ we were
able to examine the narrow-component Hβ/Hγ ratio, finding a decrement of FHβ/FHγ
= 2.16 that is consistent with very little dust (see Table 2). Note that we do not
consider the Hβ/Hδ ratio here because the Hδ line is not strong enough to robustly
fit the broad components in a consistent manner with the profile fitting of the
Hγ, Hβ, and Hα lines.\r\n\r\nTable 2. Rest UV+Optical Emission-Line Fluxes\r\n\r\nIon+Wavelength\tI(λ)/I(C

reddening due to dust, characterized by E(B − V), was determined by comparing the
observed Balmer decrements with the theoretical Balmer ratios assuming case B and
an extinction law, for which we tested the parameterization from both J. A. Cardelli
et al. (1989) and D. Calzetti et al. (2000). The E(B − V) value for a given Balmer
ratio was determined iteratively until convergence, recomputing the H i theoretical
ratio using the updated electron temperature from the reddening-corrected [O iii]
λ4364/λ5008 flux ratio and density from the reddening-corrected N iv] λ1483/λ1487
flux ratio in each iteration. In this way, the reddening, electron temperature,
and electron density were solved for simultaneously and consistently.\r\n\r\nA greater
enhancement of the observed FHα/FHβ decrement than of the FHβ/FHγ decrement can
arise under high-density conditions, where collisional excitation selectively enhances
the lowest excited level (n = 2; requires lowest energy to excite), leading to higher
Hα flux relative to Hβ and Hγ. To assess whether such an enhancement is physically
plausible, we examined the Cloudy photoionization models (M. Chatzikos et al. 2023;
C. M. Gunasekera et al. 2023) presented in Z. Martinez et al. (2025), which span
a wide range of nebular densities (up to ne = 109 cm−3). For the nebular conditions
determined in this work (i.e., Te, , Z, N/O; see Section 4), densities of ne ∼ 106
cm−3 are needed to produce the observed Hα enhancement while minimally affecting
Hβ and Hγ. Although this density is roughly an order of magnitude higher than the
values measured in M. W. Topping et al. (2024) and in this study (see Section 4.1
and Table 3), it could indicate that the interstellar medium (ISM) contains unresolved
clumps of even higher density than the volume-weighted values probed by the density
diagnostics used in this work. We, therefore, attribute the observed Hα excess to
collisional enhancement.\r\n\r\nTable 3. Nebular Conditions and Abundances for RXCJ2248-ID3\r\n\r\nProperty\tIon.

for the O32 and N43 indicators from Z. Martinez et al. (2025). The oxygen abundance
was determined using the archival [O ii] λ3728 detection and the new [O iii] λ5008
fit. N/O was determined using four different ion+ICF (from Z. Martinez et al. 2025)
combinations: (1) optical N+/O+; (2) UV N+2/O+2; (3) UV N+3/O+2; and (4) combination
(N++N+2+N+3)/(O++O+2). C/O and Si/O were determined from the archival UV emission
lines only.\r\n\r\nDownload table as: \r\nASCIITypeset image\r\n\r\nAccordingly,
we adopted the reddening derived from Hγ/Hβ, mag using J. A. Cardelli et al. (1989)
(the D. Calzetti et al. (2000) value is similar at E(B − V) = 0.050 ± 0.1215 mag),
and corrected all emission lines for the resulting (minimal) dust attenuation. We
used the D. Calzetti et al. (2000) reddening law for the rest-UV emission lines
(λ < 3200 Å) and the J. A. Cardelli et al. (1989) reddening law for the rest-optical
emission lines (λ > 3200 Å). After applying the reddening correction, the Hα/Hβ
ratio still shows a collisional excess of 0.204 above the theoretical value; we
correct for this excess and report a final FHα = 1.985 × 10−17 erg s−1 cm−2.\r\n\r\nThe
adopted reddening and dereddened line intensities are listed in Table 2 for all
line fluxes used in this work. Note that rest-UV and rest-optical lines should not
be compared or combined in line ratios. Since the rest-UV and rest-optical spectra
were obtained during different observing runs with distinct pointings and strategies,
we report the UV lines relative to FCIII]λλ1907,1909 × 100 and the optical lines
relative to FHβ × 100, without applying any relative scalings between the two datasets.\r\n\r\n3.
Wolf Rayet Stars at z = 6.1\r\nThe WR stage of massive star evolution is an important,
short-lived phase that can have significant effects on the chemical composition
of the local ISM. We provide a brief overview here (see, e.g., P. A. Crowther 2007,
for a more thorough review). WR stars are massive stars that have entered the core
He-burning phase and have lost their outer envelope either via strong stellar winds
or due to binarity effects (i.e., stripping via Roche Lobe overflow or mergers).
The first phase of WR stars occurs when the outer H layer has been ejected, revealing
the H core-burning products such that their spectra are characteristically He and
N rich but are H-poor. Such stars are known as nitrogen-type WR, or WN, stars, and
are often identified by strong N iii, N iv, and N v emission lines, especially the
broad optical “blue bump” near λ4650. The blue bump is a complex of features, including
N iii λλ4634,4642, C iii λ4649,4667, Fe iii λ4660, and He ii λ4687. Subsequently,
stars that are massive enough for core He-burning and for their winds to remove
their outer He envelope and expose the produced C enter the WR carbon (WC) phase.
WC stars also have strong, broad He ii emission and strong C and O emission, such
that they are identified by the optical WR C iv λλ5803,5814 doublet (the “red bump”).
As a result, the typically very strong winds of the WR phase can produce significant
N enrichment during the WN phase and drive strong C ejection during the WC phase.
After the WC phase, a WR-oxygen phase may ensue, but we forgo discussion of this
phase here.\r\n\r\nThe rest-frame UV and optical spectra shown in Figure 2 can be
used to characterize the WR nature of the stellar population in RXCJ2248-ID3. Both
the UV and optical He ii emission features are kinematically broadened compared
to the narrow nebular emission features in RXCJ2248-ID3, indicative of WR or VMS
winds. F. Martins et al. (2023, 2025) have shown that young star-forming regions
dominated by VMSs can be distinguished from WR stars using the morphology of the
blue and red bumps. In particular, VMSs produce blue bumps with He ii λ4687 emission
but little to no N iii emission and red bumps with narrow C iv λλ5803,5814 emission.
Thus, strong detections of N iii in the blue bump favor a WN interpretation (e.g.,
F. Martins et al. 2023; D. A. Berg et al. 2024; T. E. Rivera-Thorsen et al. 2024).\r\n\r\nThe
upper right-hand panel of Figure 2 highlights the blue bump spectral regime, showing
weak, broad He ii and N iii λ4642 in RXCJ2248-ID3, both of which are characteristic
of metal-poor WN stars. Just redward of the N iii λ4642 line in the blue bump (but
blueward of [Fe iii]), a second less prominent emission feature is seen, but it
is difficult to determine whether this is due to C iii or O ii emission, or both.
Furthermore, the red C iv bump is not detected, suggesting little to no contributions
from WC stars or VMSs in the spectrum. Thus, we only significantly detect the blue
WR bump, suggesting that WN stars are likely present.\r\n\r\n4. Nebular Properties\r\nUsing
the updated narrow-component emission-line fits presented in Section 2.2, we determined
the nebular properties of RXCJ2248-ID3. Following D. A. Berg et al. (2021), we adopt
the four-zone ionization model to account for the high-ionization emission observed.
In this model, the ionization potential energy ranges of N+, S+2, O+2, and He+2
define the low-, intermediate-, high-, and very high-ionization zones, respectively.
For all calculations, we use the PyNeb package in Python with the atomic data adopted
in D. A. Berg et al. (2019), which includes a six-level atom model for oxygen in
order to utilize the UV O iii] λ1666 line. Below, we determine temperatures and
densities, although Te(O+2) and ne(N+3) were codetermined during the iterative reddening
calculation (see Section 2.3) in Section 4.1, ionization parameters in Section 4.2,
and abundances in Section 4.3.\r\n\r\nWe note that the UV spectra do not have sufficient
S/N to decompose narrow and broad components following the same method as the optical
lines. As a result, density diagnostics and abundances determined from UV lines
may include contributions from multiple kinematic components, while optical temperatures,
densities, and abundances are derived from narrow components alone. If the broad
component arises from gas with distinct physical conditions, this could introduce
systematic offsets. For this reason, we examine the potential impact of UV broad
components in Section 4.4.\r\n\r\n4.1. Temperature and Density\r\nOne of the unique
characteristics of RXCJ2248-ID3 is its large number of density-sensitive emission-line
ratios. M. W. Topping et al. (2024) previously reported densities from the three
UV line ratios of Si iii] λ1883/λ1892, characterizing the intermediate-ionization
zone, C iii] λ1907/λ1909, characterizing the intermediate- to high-ionization zone,
and N iv] λ1483/λ1486, characterizing the high- to very high-ionization zone. The
new high-S/N optical spectra enables us to measure, for the first time, densities
from the low-ionization [S ii] λ6717/6731 ratio and the high- to very high-ionization
[Ar iv] λ4713/λ4741 ratio.\r\n\r\nWe use our narrow-component dereddened flux measurements
to compute densities for all five line ratios and the high-ionization zone temperature
from the [O iii] λ4364/λ5008 ratio. The high-ionization zones Te(O+2) and ne(N+3)
were simultaneously determined during the iterative reddening calculation in Section
2.3 to account for the sensitivities of both diagnostics. If the low density limit
was assumed instead (ne ≲ 102 cm−3), as is common practice at low-redshift, the
observed [O iii] λ4364/λ5008 flux ratio would lead to unphysical temperatures (i.e.,
above the limit set by H cooling of ∼2.5 × 104 K). Thus, a physical and robust solution
requires high densities to properly account for the reduced λ5008 flux due to collisional
de-excitation. Furthermore, Z. Martinez et al. (2025) recently showed that densities
derived from both optical and UV diagnostics underpredict the true volume-averaged
density in multiphase, high-density systems, with more severe underprediction from
the optical diagnostics. Therefore, it is necessary to use UV density diagnostics
in high-density environments, though the true density will still be underestimated
in multiphase gas (see, e.g., Figure 11 of Z. Martinez et al. 2025).\r\n\r\nFor
the high-ionization zone, we found a Te(O+2) = 1.97 ±0.03 × 104 K and ne(N+3) cm−3,
which is consistent with the density of ne(N+3) cm−3 reported by M. W. Topping et
al. (2024), but lower than their temperature of 2.46 ± 0.26 × 104 K due to our broad
component fits of both [O iii] λ4364 and λ5008. Adopting our Te(O+2) as the high-ionization
temperature (Te,high), we then applied the Te–Te relations of D. R. Garnett (1992)
to estimate the intermediate-ionization temperature (Te,int.) and low-ionization
temperature (Te,low).\r\n\r\nThe determined temperatures were used for the subsequent
density calculations in their respective ionization zones. Note that the [Ar iv]
λ4713 and He i λ4714 lines are blended in the G395M grating. Therefore, we corrected
the [Ar iv] λ4713 flux for the He i λ4714 contribution, predicting the He i λ4714
flux from the measured He i λ4473 flux and the theoretical He i λ4714/λ4473 ratio
(∼0.21 for the conditions in RXCJ2248-ID). The resulting densities, all of which
fall within their respective diagnostic ranges, and temperatures are reported in
Table 2.\r\n\r\nRemarkably, RXCJ2248-ID3 is one of few galaxies, and the only galaxy
yet at high redshifts, to have significant (>3σ) electron density measurements from
five different ions that span a large ionization range (∼10–77 eV). Furthermore,
the densities in RXCJ2248-ID3 appear to be organized into an interesting nebular
stratification. The UV emission lines trace the densest gas, with ne(N+3) = 2.65
× 105 cm−3 in the highest-ionization gas, followed by ne(C+2) = 7.94 × 104 cm−3
and ne(Si+2) = 4.77 × 104 cm−3. In contrast, the optical high-ionization lines are
emitted from regions of lower densities: the optical [Ar iv] diagnostic has an overlapping
ionization energy range with the UV N iv] diagnostic but a density that is an order
of magnitude lower.\r\n\r\nThere are two possible interpretations of the measured
array of densities. First, since the UV lines also have higher excitation energies,
they could originate preferentially from hotter, denser clumps. This would imply
a strongly inhomogeneous ISM, in which compact, high-pressure structures dominate
the UV line emission while somewhat more diffuse gas produces much of the optical
emission. Alternatively, the multiphase ISM may span a smaller dynamic range of
densities than we measure due to the suppression of the optical diagnostics. Z.
Martinez et al. (2025) showed that for an ISM with a mix of low- (e.g., 103 cm−3)
and high-density gas (e.g., 105 cm−3) that has a true volumetric density that is
somewhere in between, the low-ionization optical diagnostics will always be significantly
biased low, close to the low-density gas value, until the fraction of high-density
gas is very high (e.g., >95%). This effect occurs when ne-diagnostic line ratios
have low critical densities (e.g., ne,crit([S ii])≈2 × 103–5 × 103 cm−3), such that
emission from the high-density gas is collisionally suppressed beyond detection.
The magnitude of this effect decreases with increasing critical density such that
[S ii] is significantly affected, [Ar iv] is moderately affected (ne,crit ≈ 2 ×
104–2 × 105 cm−3), and the UV Si iii], C iii], and N iv] (ne,crit ≈ 5 × 104–5 ×
1010 cm−3) are minimally affected, albeit still biased low. In this scenario, there
would still be density stratification, but with smaller differences.\r\n\r\nAll
together, the nebular diagnostics in RXCJ2248-ID3 support a picture of a multiphase
nebula with density and temperature stratification, likely reflecting a clumpy ISM
shaped by the feedback and local radiation field variations of bursty star formation
(see, also, N. Choustikov et al. 2025; Y. Harikane et al. 2025b; M. Usui et al.
2025). This picture is also consistent with the density stratification that has
been reported for dwarf galaxies both near and far (e.g., B. L. James et al. 2016;
D. A. Berg et al. 2021; M. Mingozzi et al. 2022; X. Ji et al. 2024; M. W. Topping
et al. 2024), but with typical densities increasing with redshift (e.g., Y. Isobe
et al. 2023; Abdurro’uf et al. 2024; Z. Martinez et al. 2025; M. W. Topping et al.
2025a).\r\n\r\n4.2. Ionization Parameter\r\nThe ionization parameter of RXCJ2248-ID3,
, determined using the typical O32 = Iλ5008/Iλ3728 diagnostic is reported in M.
W. Topping et al. (2024) to be in the high range of to −1. We recompute the ionization
parameter for RXCJ2248-ID3 using the O32 and N43 = Iλλ1483,1486/Iλ1750 diagnostics
from Z. Martinez et al. (2025) that are calibrated for densities in the 102 ≤ ne(cm−3)
≤ 106 range. We estimate a using O32, which is consistent with the value reported
by M. W. Topping et al. (2024), and using N43. Note, however, that the O32 diagnostic
is very sensitive to the assumed density (Z. Martinez et al. 2025), making this
value highly uncertain in dense gas. For example, densities of ne = 103–105 cm−3
would lead to a range of to −2.04, respectively.\r\n\r\n4.3. Abundances\r\nHere,
we present direct-method abundances of oxygen-to-hydrogen (O/H) (Section 4.3.1),
N/O (Section 4.3.2), carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) (Section 4.3.3), and silicon-to-oxygen
(Si/O) (Section 4.3.4) for RXCJ2248-ID3 using narrow-line flux ratios and the measured
temperatures and densities presented in Section 4.1. Nearly all of the optical lines
used in this work have sufficient S/N to simultaneously constrain broad and narrow
emission components, but there are a few exceptions, all of which are low-ionization
lines. The [O ii] λ3728 line was not covered by the GLIMPSE-D spectrum and so lacks
the S/N to fit broad components. Both [N ii] λ6585 and [S ii] λλ6718,6733 are covered
in the high-S/N GLIMPSE-D spectrum but are either blended with stronger features
or too weak to fit broad components. On the other hand, the [O ii] and [S ii] lines
have low critical densities around ne,crit ∼ 103 cm−3 such that any moderate to
high-density broad components are likely collisionally de-excited away. Their narrow-component
fluxes could also be significantly reduced by collisional de-excitation; however,
the missing [O ii] emission is likely small in the absolute sense for such a high-ionization
object. Emission from [N ii] is less likely to be collisionally de-excited (ne,crit
∼ 105 cm−3), so a hidden broad component could lead to an overestimate of the N/O
abundance, but this effect would be somewhat countered by the underestimated [O
ii] flux. In the end, the consistency of N/O derived independently from UV and optical
tracers in Section 4.3.2 below suggests that these effects do not significantly
impact our results.\r\n\r\nTo calculate the total or relative abundance of an element,
we determine and sum the individual observed ions and then apply an ionization correction
factor to account for unseen prominent ionization states. The abundance of an individual
ionic species, Xi, relative to hydrogen is determined as\r\n\r\nwhere jλ(i) is the
emissivity determined for the appropriate ionization zone temperature and density.
Given the tendency of the optical density diagnostics to severely underestimate
the density in high-density environments, we instead adopt the UV-derived densities.
Note that the abundances presented below have not been corrected for the fraction
of atoms embedded in dust. However, the level of depletion onto dust grains is expected
to be small for the low metallicity of RXCJ2248-ID3 (e.g., A. Rémy-Ruyer et al.
2014; F. Galliano et al. 2018; J. Roman-Duval et al. 2022). Y. Isobe et al. (2026)
also infer negligible dust depletion for RXCJ2248-ID3 based on the high value of
Si/O that that they determine, but this is inconsistent with the value we determine
below. Details of elemental abundance determinations are given below.\r\n\r\n4.3.1.
Oxygen Abundance\r\nWe determine the total O/H abundance as the sum of the O+/H+
and O+2/H+ ionic abundances, determined from the [O ii] λ3728 and [O iii] λλ4960,5008
optical emission lines. We observe no strong O0 or O+3 emission, indicating that
contributions from other ions are negligible. The resulting ionic and total oxygen
abundances are presented in Table 2. Similar to M. J. Hayes et al. (2025) and Z.
Martinez et al. (2025), we find that one of the most significant effects of accounting
for high densities is the resulting decrease in electron temperature and subsequent
increase in oxygen abundance (see, also, H. Katz et al. 2023). In our work, this
results both from accounting for the missing [O iii] λ5008 flux due to collisional
de-excitation and from correcting the narrow emission for broad emission components
at their base. M. W. Topping et al. (2024) also incorporated the high densities
seen in RXCJ2248-ID3 but did not have the S/N to fit the broad emission components
in both [O iii] λ5008 and λ4364. As a result, we measure an oxygen abundance of
. Note that if unresolved high-density clumps (ne ≳ 105 cm−3) are present (as suggested
in, e.g., Section 2.3), it could introduce additional uncertainty by biasing the
luminosity-weighted [O iii] λ4364/λ5008 ratio to higher densities, which would drive
the derived Te higher and O/H abundance lower. However, Z. Martinez et al. (2025,
see Figure 11), showed that the use of high-critical density UV density diagnostics
largely mitigate this effect in a density stratified medium.\r\n\r\n4.3.2. Relative
N/O Abundance\r\nThe extraordinary simultaneous detections of [N ii] λ6585, N iii]
λ1750, and N iv] λλ1483,1487 enable multiple determinations of the N/O abundance.
Therefore, we calculate N/O abundances using four different ionic methods\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nwhere
[O ii] λ3728 is used for the N+/O+ determination, O iii] λ1666 is used for the N+2/O+2
and N+3/O+2 calculations, and X(N+i) and X(O+i) are the N and O ionization fractions,
respectively. We use the density-dependent ICFs from Z. Martinez et al. (2025),
who provide prescriptions for densities of ne = 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106 cm−3.
We, therefore, round our density measurements to the nearest order of magnitude
and use the intermediate-ionization for the N+/O+ ICF and the high-ionization for
the N+2/O+2 and N+3/O+2 ICFs. The resulting N ICFs and N/O abundances are reported
in Table 3.\r\n\r\nThe four N/O determinations of RXCJ2248-ID3 are in close agreement,
far above the expected value for its metallicity. Visually, this is shown in the
upper left-hand panel of Figure 4, which plots the relative N/O versus O/H abundance
with RXCJ2248-ID3 marked by purple diamonds. The traditional N/O–O/H trend has been
established by many z ∼ 0 studies of H ii regions and galaxies (gray points: C.

D. A. Berg et al. 2012, 2016,2019, 2020). The empirical trend is a bimodal relationship,
with a flat trend due to primary (or metallicity-independent) N production at low
metallicities () and an increasing N/O trend with O/H as secondary (or metallicity-dependent)
N production becomes increasingly important at higher metallicities (). As a visual

since onset of the second burst. The models have been modified to reproduce both
the enhanced N/O and relatively deficient C/O observed for RXCJ2248-ID3, which requires
enrichment from WN but very little WC enrichment, as expected at low metallicities.\r\n\r\nDownload

high-quality high-redshift N/O measurements that were calculated in a consistent
manner as the present work (with direct-method Te and ne determinations and ne-dependent
ICFs) by Z. Martinez et al. (2025). N/O abundances determined using N+2/O+2 are
plotted as blue + symbols, while N+/O+ determinations are plotted as blue pentagons.
Of these galaxies, the closest comparison to RXCJ2248-ID3 is CEERS-1019 (see, also,
R. Marques-Chaves et al. 2024), while only GDS 3073 and GN-z11 have higher relative
N/O abundances and only GDS 3073 is more enhanced in N/O for its O/H abundance.\r\n\r\nWe
find that all four ionic methods produce consistently high N/O values within their
uncertainties, with a weighted mean of . This is an important result because RXCJ2248-ID3
is the first galaxy to have consistently enhanced N/O abundances measured from both
the rest-frame UV high-ionization and the optical low-ionization emission lines.
Furthermore, measuring consistent N/O values from three different ionic methods
strengthens our confidence in the robustness of the N/O measurement, although uniform
N/O across the ionization structure of the nebula is not a given in a stratified
medium. While there is strong evidence for a stratified, or perhaps very clumpy,
density structure in RXCJ2248-ID, the N/O abundance appears to be well mixed.\r\n\r\n4.3.3.
Relative C/O Abundance\r\nMeasuring the C/O abundance provides a crucial comparative
baseline for interpreting the origin of elevated N/O in RXCJ2248-ID3. Similar to
N, C has a pseudosecondary17 production pathway, but the dominant nucleosynthetic
sources and timescales differ for C and N. Briefly, both C and O are primarily produced
in massive stars (>8 M⊙) on relatively short timescales such that the C/O ratio
is a relatively stable tracer of massive star yields, although some C is produced
via low- to intermediate-mass AGB stars (∼1.5–3 M⊙). In contrast, some N is produced
by massive stars (e.g., through rotational mixing and WR winds) but most N comes
from intermediate-mass AGB stars (∼4–8 M⊙), which release N on longer timescales
(∼200 Myr). Therefore, N/O and C/O together serve as diagnostics of the recent star
formation history, constraining the recent enrichment mechanisms of galaxies (e.g.,
D. R. Garnett 1990; R. B. C. Henry et al. 2000; C. Chiappini et al. 2003; E. Pérez-Montero
& T. Contini 2009; D. A. Berg et al. 2019; E. Pérez-Montero et al. 2021).\r\n\r\nRelative
C/O abundances are typically determined using the C iii] λλ1907,1909/O iii] λ1666
ratio to calculate C+2/O+2 and assuming that C/O ≈ C+2/O+2. This method is sometimes
used alone owing to the fact that (1) C+2 and O+2 have somewhat similar ionization
potentials (24.38 and 35.12 eV, respectively), (2) the upper levels of the λ1666
and λλ1907,1909 transitions have similar excitation potentials (∼6.5 and ∼7.5 eV,
respectively), and (3) the integrated fluxes of λ1666 and λλ1907,1909 are not sensitive
to collisional de-excitation for the densities measured here. However, for the high-ionization
nebulae in RXCJ2248-ID3, it is important to account for contributions from the C+3
species and any unseen species. We note that the C iv λλ1548,1550 doublet is clearly
observed in the rest-UV spectrum of RXCJ2248-ID3, but these lines are resonant and
can be affected by the C iv stellar wind feature and ISM absorption, and so determining
the intrinsic flux and subsequent C+3 abundance is challenging. Instead, we use
an ICF determined from the photoionization models presented in Z. Martinez et al.
(2025) such that\r\n\r\nWe used the and a density of ne(C+2) ∼ 105 cm−3 to determine
the C ICF. The resulting C ICF and C/O abundance are reported in Table 3.\r\n\r\nThe
C/O and C/N abundances for RXCJ2248-ID3 are plotted in the upper middle and right-hand
panels of Figure 4. Empirical trends of C/N at z ∼ 0 are found to be flat, albeit
with significant scatter (see shading in Figure 4), suggesting that the dominant
nucleosynthetic mechanisms of C are similar to those of N (e.g., D. R. Garnett et
al. 1999; C. Esteban et al. 2014; D. A. Berg et al. 2016, 2019). However, while
the production of both C and N appear to be metallicity-dependent, the scatter in
their trend is consistent with differing production timescales due to stars of different
masses. Thus, the variations observed in CNO abundance patterns of high-redshift
galaxies may be the result of taking a snapshot of many galaxies at different times
since their most recent onset of star formation.\r\n\r\nRXCJ2248-ID3 appears to
have a similar CNO abundance pattern to other high-redshift N emitters, characterized
by enhanced N/O but relatively deficient C/O such that their C/N is very deficient
compared to the expectations from low-redshift trends. This suggests that these
high-redshift N-emitting galaxies are enhanced in N relative to both O and C. If
massive stars in the WN phase are present, they will have recently produced 14N
at the expense of 12C through the CNO cycle, meaning C used as a catalyst in the
cycle initiation will have been consumed as N is removed during the bottleneck step
via dredged up, preventing the return of C at cycle completion. Thus, C/N-deficiency
is consistent with a recent, intense episode of N enrichment and C consumption from
WN stars. Conversely, if both N/O and C/O were elevated in tandem, it could point
to broader enrichment by massive stars, such as enrichment from both WN and WC stars,
whose contributions increase at higher metallicities.\r\n\r\n4.3.4. Relative Si/O
Abundance\r\nDetecting Si iii] λλ1883,1892 in RXCJ2248-ID3 enables the rare opportunity
to measure the silicon-to-oxygen (Si/O) abundance in a z > 5 galaxy (see, also,
Y. Isobe et al. 2026, for Si/O in GN-z11). Silicon abundances are important for
multiple reasons. Silicon is highly refractory, making the Si/O ratio a sensitive
probe of dust depletion. Additionally, Si probes different channels of chemical
enrichment than CNO elements, as it is primarily an α-element produced by CCSNe,
but Type Ia SNe, AGB stars, and even pair-instability SNe are all expected to contribute
to the total Si abundance. For RXCJ2248-ID3 we determine the Si/O abundance using
the observed Si iii] λλ1883,1892/O iii] λ1666 ratio to calculate Si+2/O+2. Because
Si+2 and O+2 have rather different ionization potentials (16.3 eV versus 35.1 eV,
respectively), a Si ICF is required to convert Si+2/O+2 to total Si/O via\r\n\r\nSi
ICFs have been reported previously (e.g., D. R. Garnett et al. 1995), but none account
for the high-density conditions observed in RXCJ2248-ID3. Therefore, we determined
a Si ICF = 3.507 using the photoionization models presented in Z. Martinez et al.
(2025) using the and a density of ne(Si+2) ∼ 104 cm−3. Reported in Table 3, the
resulting (Si/O) = −1.781 ± 0.157 abundance is typical of metal-poor dwarf galaxies
(e.g., D. R. Garnett et al. 1995; Y. I. Izotov & T. X. Thuan 1999), consistent with
normal massive star production and low dust depletion.\r\n\r\n4.4. Potential Impact
of UV Broad Components\r\nThe exceptionally high S/N of the rest-optical GLIMPSE-D
spectrum allows for broad emission component fits that the rest-UV spectrum does
not. In Section 2.2, we found the broad emission component contribution to the narrow
[O iii] λ5008 flux to be 10.8%. To examine the possible effects such contamination
has on calculations of nebular conditions and abundances, we adopt 10.8% as the
contamination upper limit to the UV emission lines. We first consider the impact
on the UV density determinations, where we allow the broad components of the UV
density-sensitive emission-line ratios to have densities ranging from 102–106 cm−3.
After subtracting the potential broad component contribution, the revised densities
change up to Δne(Si+2), Δne(C+2), and Δne(N+3) over the range of broad component
densities considered. These values are within the reported uncertainties in Table
3, with the exception of the ∼1.2σ deviation for Δne of C+2.\r\n\r\nNext, we tested
the subsequent impact of UV densities that have been revised for possible broad
components on the properties determined from rest-optical emission lines: Te(O+2),
O/H, and N/O. For the range of Δne(N+3) above, the resulting K, which is within
1σ–2σ of the reported value in Table 3. Similarly, the impact of the revised densities
and temperatures on the oxygen abundance, dex, is also within 1σ–2σ. The impact
is even smaller for the nitrogen abundance, with dex being much smaller than the
N/O uncertainty.\r\n\r\nRelative UV abundances are impacted by changes in both the
nebular conditions and the relevant abundance emission-line ratio. However, the
resulting abundance deviations are small and within the original uncertainties:
dex, dex, and dex. Thus, we conclude that while considering the impacts of hidden
broad component contributions to the measured UV fluxes is important, the potential
biases do not affect the main results or conclusions of this work.\r\n\r\n5. A Short
Window of Intense WR Nitrogen Enrichment\r\nWe have presented evidence for WN stars
in RXCJ2248-ID3 in two forms: first, the rest-frame optical WR blue bump discussed
in Section 3 and shown in Figure 2; and second, a qualitative comparison of the
CNO abundances to patterns expected for WR stars in Section 4.3 and Figure 4. Below,
we examine the plausibility and impact of these WN stars by comparing RXCJ2248-ID3
to expected trends for WR stars with metallicity (Section 5.1), testing whether
stellar yields can reproduce the observed CNO abundance pattern (Section 5.2) and
assessing whether RXCJ2248-ID3’s stellar population can produce its inferred mass
of ionized N (Section 5.3). Together, these lines of investigation suggest that
the enhanced N/O and suppressed C/O in RXCJ2248-ID3 represent a short-lived enrichment
phase, unique to metal-poor, highly star-forming galaxies in the early Universe
(Section 5.4).\r\n\r\n5.1. WN Stars: The Dominant WR Phase at Low Metallicity\r\nTo
date, no individual resolved WR stars have been directly observed at metallicities
as low as RXCJ2248-ID3 (Z ∼ 0.1Z⊙). This is due, in part, to the lack of sufficiently
close (D ≲ 1 Mpc for the young, crowded clusters hosting WR stars), metal-poor,
star-forming galaxies (see C. Kehrig et al. 2013 for the closest metal-poor WR galaxy),
but a scarcity of WR stars in metal-poor environments is also expected because mass
loss through stellar winds scales with metallicity. We show the trend of the number
of WC/WN stars as a function of metallicity in Figure 5. The observed number of
WC/WN stars in M31 (∼175% Z⊙), the Milky Way (MW; Z⊙), M33 (∼40%–110% Z⊙), the Large
Magellanic Cloud (LMC; ∼40% Z⊙), and the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC; ∼20% Z⊙) suggest
that the number of the WN/WC number ratio increases with decreasing metallicity
(e.g., G. Meynet & A. Maeder 2005; P. A. Crowther 2007; P. Massey et al. 2015; K.
Neugent & P. Massey 2019). This is because weaker metal line-driven winds, rotation,
or binary effects in metal-poor stars may be able to expose their nitrogen-rich
layers and initiate the WN phase but be insufficient to strip the stellar He atmosphere
and reveal the carbon-rich core to initiate the WC phase. Thus, if WR stars form
at Z ∼ 10% Z⊙, they are expected to be overwhelmingly WN-type. Additionally, A.
A. C. Sander et al. (2026) recently discovered a new class of WN–WO stars that point
to a low-metallicity WR evolutionary channel in which stars pass directly from the
WN to WO phase, potentially explaining spectra that show evidence for WN-like enrichment
and hard ionizing radiation without clear WC signatures.\r\n\r\nZoom InZoom OutReset

a function of metallicity. Observed values for the SMC, LMC, MW, and M31 were compiled
by K. Neugent & P. Massey (2019), while newer values for M33 come from K. F. Neugent
& P. Massey (2023). For comparison, we also plot the trend presented in P. Massey
et al. (2017) for BPASS v2.0 binary stellar population synthesis burst models for
12+log(O/H) > 8 (solid line green line), which we extrapolate to lower metallicities
(dashed line). Enrichment from WR stars was used to explain the CNO abundances in
GN-z11 by C. Kobayashi & A. Ferrara (2024). We note the metallicity for GN-z11 determined
by Z. Martinez et al. (2025) is consistent with a WC/WN ratio of ∼0.1–0.2 and the
metallicity for RXCJ2248-ID3 from the current work, which predicts a much lower
WC/WN ratio of ∼0.03–0.10. Therefore, very little carbon enrichment from WC stars
is expected for RXCJ2248-ID3.\r\n\r\nDownload figure:\r\n\r\nStandard imageHigh-resolution
image\r\nThe spectral features of RXCJ2248-ID3 support the picture of WN star feedback
at low metallicity. As shown in Figure 2, the He ii emission is moderately broadened,
the N iii λ4642 line in the blue bump is prominent, and there is no evidence for
the red bump C iv feature, all consistent with the presence of WN stars at low metallicity.
The weakness of the He ii emission in terms of both flux and velocity width is expected
for the low-metallicity environment of RXCJ2248-ID3 (∼10% Z⊙) due to reduced wind
velocities and mass-loss rates (e.g., A. A. C. Sander et al. 2020). Similarly weak
WN features have also been reported in the nearby metal-poor galaxy SBS 0335-052
(Y. I. Izotov et al. 2006) and, at cosmic noon, the z ∼ 2.37 lensed galaxy the Sunburst
Arc (T. E. Rivera-Thorsen et al. 2024) and the z ∼ 2.22 M4327 galaxy (M. Curti et
al. 2025b).\r\n\r\nWe plot the WR blue bump profile of RXCJ2248-ID3 relative to
the Sunburst Arc and M4327 in Figure 6. For ease of comparison, we convolve the
Sunburst Arc R ∼ 2700 JWST/NIRSpec G140H spectrum to the R ∼ 1000 resolution of
the RXCJ2248-ID3 spectrum. For M4327, we retrieved the G140M spectrum obtained as
part of the Measuring Abundance at High Redshift with the Te Approach Survey (MARTA;
E. Cataldi et al. 2025) from the Dawn JWST Archive (DJA; K. E. Heintz et al. 2024;
A. de Graaff et al. 2025). Both the Sunburst Arc and M4327 spectra were scaled to
similar He ii strengths as RXCJ2248-ID3. These spectra immediately reveal similar
profiles, but with three distinct differences: (1) RXCJ2248-ID3 exhibits higher
gas ionization, as evidenced by the strong [Ar iv] λλ4713,4741 emission; (2) the
He ii stellar wind feature is significantly broader in both the Sunburst Arc (FWHM
= 1370 km s−1) and M4327 (FWHM = 1460 km s−1) than RXCJ2248-ID3 (FWHM = 530 km s−1),
consistent with stronger stellar winds at the higher metallicities of the Sunburst
Arc: (or Z ∼ 0.7 Z⊙; Z. Martinez et al. 2025) and M4327: (or Z ∼ 0.3 Z⊙; M. Curti
et al. 2025b); and (3) the WR N iii λ4642 line is much stronger in RXCJ2248-ID3,
which lacks WR C iv λλ5803,5814 emission, while the Sunburst Arc and M4327 exhibit
both N iii and C iv emission. These differences support a scenario in which the
z ∼ 2 WR galaxies hosts both WC and WN stars, but the more metal-poor RXCJ2248-ID3
hosts a young population of WN stars with no or very little WC contribution.\r\n\r\nZoom

hand, the Sunburst Arc and M4327 show broader He ii emission, which is expected
for more metal-rich galaxies as stellar winds scale with metallicity.\r\n\r\nDownload

from WN Stars\r\nWith the highest redshift detection of WN stars to date, we now
explore their chemical yields as a source of the abundance pattern in RXCJ2248-ID3.
C. Charbonnel et al. (2023) performed a comparable analysis for the extreme N/O
ratio observed in GN-z11 and found that such rapid nitrogen enrichment could arise
from normal massive stars with M⋆ ∼ 20–120 M⊙ or from supermassive stars (M⋆ ≳ 1000
M⊙) in protoglobular cluster environments. Their results and those of R. Marques-Chaves
et al. (2024) further demonstrated that the short-lived WN-like phase can produce
large N/O ratios within a few megayears of the burst, consistent with the timescales
inferred here, but that the observed C/O ratios are only compatible over a very
short time interval. Building on this theoretical groundwork, C. Kobayashi & A.
Ferrara (2024) showed that a dual-burst chemical evolution model with a short WR-dominated
enrichment phase could also match GN-z11’s enrichment pattern. Similarly, R. Marques-Chaves
et al. (2024) used N yields from rotating massive stars to demonstrate that a young,
WR-dominated stellar population could reproduce the observed CNO enrichment pattern
in CEERS-1019.\r\n\r\nThe models above provide a valuable physical framework for
linking stellar yields to galaxy-scale abundance evolution at early times. To extend
the methodologies outlined by these works to RXCJ2248-ID3, we first examine the
dual-burst chemical evolution model of C. Kobayashi & A. Ferrara (2024), which was
fine-tuned to reproduce the enhanced N/O in GN-z11 (reported by R. Maiolino et al.
2024). This model invokes two bursts of star formation, where the second triggers
a narrow (≲1 Myr) phase of WR-dominated enrichment. While the model can easily reach
the N/O enrichment level of RXCJ2248-ID3, it was also designed to yield the higher
O/H and C/O abundances observed in GN-z11 than in RXCJ2248-ID3, which was achieved,
in part, by enrichment from WC stars. The updated O/H abundance for GN-z11 determined
by Z. Martinez et al. (2025) makes it consistent with some carbon enrichment from
WC stars, as shown in Figure 5. However, with a metallicity of only Z ∼ 0.10 Z⊙,
the WR population in RXCJ2248-ID3 is expected to consist of few WC stars, and so
an updated chemical evolution model is needed to match its unique CNO abundance
pattern.\r\n\r\nWe modify the C. Kobayashi & A. Ferrara (2024) dual-burst model
to be more appropriate for the metal-poor conditions in RXCJ2248-ID3. In particular,
the galactic chemical evolution (GCE) model uses the same star formation history
and the standard IMF (for 0.01–120 M⊙) as in the fiducial model in C. Kobayashi
& A. Ferrara (2024) but reduces the contribution from WC stars. C/O ratios of the
nucleosynthesis yields vary depending on the uncertain nuclear reaction rates (e.g.,
12C(α, γ)16O) and the treatment of convection and mass loss (C. Kobayashi et al.
2006). In the updated model, 12C and 16O yields are taken from C. Kobayashi et al.
(2020) for all mass ranges of stars but the contributions from the WC wind phase
is scaled to ∼15% in order to match the empirical trends and theoretical expectations
that most massive stars will have insufficient winds to remove their He envelopes
at such low metallicities.\r\n\r\nWe plot the updated metal-poor dual-burst model
in the bottom row of Figure 4 as a time-series of points that are color coded by
the age since the onset of the second burst. In this model, the observed N/O, O/H,
and C/O abundances of RXCJ2248-ID3 are reached simultaneously ∼4.2 Myr after the
onset of the second burst. This young age is consistent with enrichment from WN
stars and with the derived clump age of Myr (A. Claeyssens 2025). Thus, the N/O-enhanced
and relatively C/O-deficient conditions in RXCJ2248-ID3 are produced by a short-lived
evolutionary phase following intense, bursty star formation.\r\n\r\nWe note that
the duration and impact of the WN phase may be significantly extended if the stars
evolve in binary systems. In the M. Limongi & A. Chieffi (2018) single-star models,
the WN phase typically lasts ∼0.03–0.3 Myr and, due to the metallicity-dependent
winds, require high initial masses (∼40 M⊙) to expose the He- and N-rich layers.
However, in close binaries, envelope stripping via mass transfer or common-envelope
evolution can induce WR phases in lower-mass stars (20–30 M⊙), largely independent
of the stellar metallicity. This channel can significantly prolong the WN lifetime
(up to ∼1 Myr) depending on the binary mass ratio and separation (e.g., J. J. Eldridge
et al. 2017; Y. Götberg et al. 2019; D. R. Aguilera-Dena et al. 2022). As a result,
binary evolution may enhance both the frequency and duration of the chemically selective
N/O enrichment phase, such as that observed in RXCJ2248-ID. On the other hand, L.
Boco et al. (2025) successfully modeled observations of single WR stars in the SMC,
suggesting that binary stripping may not be required to produce WR stars at low
metallicity. Clearly, the frequency, lifetimes, and formation channels of WR stars
in low-metallicity environments are not yet well understood. Future work incorporating
current binary and single star WR pathways into chemical evolution models may, therefore,
be essential for capturing the full range of nitrogen feedback in low-metallicity
starbursts at high redshift.\r\n\r\nTaken together, the massive star enrichment
scenario presented here, and explored in C. Charbonnel et al. (2023), R. Marques-Chaves
et al. (2024), and C. Kobayashi & A. Ferrara (2024), demonstrates that selective
enrichment of nitrogen by WN-dominated feedback can naturally reproduce the observed
CNO abundance pattern in compact, low-metallicity starbursts such as RXCJ2248-ID3.
We can now paint a full picture of the ISM in RXCJ2248-ID3. The consistency of N/O
across ions spanning a wide range of ionization potentials suggests that the WN-enriched
material has been efficiently mixed throughout the ionized gas. This apparent chemical
homogeneity does not contradict the strong density and temperature stratification
inferred from our diagnostics: a clumpy or multiphase ISM can remain compositionally
uniform if the enriched ejecta are well dispersed. Given the extreme compactness
of RXCJ2248-ID3 (Re ≈ 20 pc), the characteristic dynamical and sound-crossing times
are only a few ×105 yr, comparable to or shorter than the duration of the WN phase
itself. Under such conditions, turbulent and radiative mixing can rapidly homogenize
the heavy-element yields, producing a chemically uniform yet physically structured
nebula.\r\n\r\n5.3. The N Mass Budget\r\nA crucial point of validation is whether
an intense burst of star formation so early in the Universe could have produced
the amount of N present in RXCJ2248-ID3. Similar to the analysis in R. Marques-Chaves
et al. (2024), we test this by first estimating the ionized nitrogen mass using\r\n\r\nwhere
the atomic mass ratio is mN/mH = 14 and N/H is the nitrogen abundance of the ionized
gas. The hydrogen gas mass MH is derived from the Hα luminosity as\r\n\r\nwhere
mH = 1.67 × 10−27 kg, h = 6.626 × 10−27 erg s−1, νHα is the frequency of the Hα
emission line, and cm3 s−1 is the Case B effective recombination coefficient for
Hα assuming a Te = 1.97 × 104 K. We estimate the Hα luminosity using a luminosity
distance of dL(z = 6.1025) =1.817 × 1029 cm, the collision-corrected narrow-component
Hα flux, and a magnification of μ = 6.8877 (L. Furtak et al. 2025) to be LHα = 1.20
× 1042 erg s−1. Combining this LHα with the equivalent width (EW)(Hα) = 1457 Å,
we derive the star formation rate (SFR) using the simulation-based SFR(Hα) calibration
from I. G. Kramarenko et al. (2026). This method was developed to be more appropriate
for the bursty conditions at high redshift than traditional calibrations and gives
SFR = 3.2 M⊙ yr−1, similar to the SED-derived SFRs assuming a constant SFH for 1
Myr () and 10 Myr (; see Table 1). Adopting a filling factor of ε = 0.01-0.10, assuming
a compact starburst (e.g., R. C. Kennicutt 1984; G. Stasińska & D. Schaerer 1997),
a density of 104 cm−3, and the measured N/H value, we calculate the ionized nitrogen
mass to be .\r\n\r\nWe then compute the total nitrogen mass that can be produced
by the recent burst of star formation using the integrated nitrogen yield produced
by the modified C. Kobayashi & A. Ferrara (2024) model for the SED-derived stellar
mass of assuming a continuous SFH over the duration of the second burst (∼4.2 Myr).
This results in a total N mass of 435 M⊙, implying that ∼% of the gas is retained
from the WN winds and ionized when matched to the expected ionized N mass (∼) from
the crudely calculated observed value. Thus, WN stars formed in a recent burst within
a compact, high-density, and very clumpy/inhomogeneous (low-filling-factor) environment
can plausibly explain the N mass in RXCJ2248-ID3, even at low metallicity (∼10%
Z⊙), without invoking a top-heavy IMF or exotic enrichment channels.\r\n\r\n5.4.
The Ephemeral Imprint of WN Star on High−z Galaxies\r\nThe prominence of N/O enhancement
at z ≳ 5 but relative rarity in local star-forming galaxies likely reflects a combination
of environmental conditions and evolutionary factors that are unique to the early
Universe. To examine the likely environments, we plot the SFR surface density (ΣSFR)
versus EW of Hβ in Figure 7 for both z ≳ 6 N emitters (RXCJ2248-ID3: M. W. Topping
et al. 2024, this work; GNz9p4: D. Schaerer et al. 2024; GN-z11, EW(Hβ) inferred

and local star-forming galaxies with enhanced SFRs from the COS Legacy Archive Spectroscopic
SurveY (CLASSY; B. L. James et al. 2021; D. A. Berg et al. 2022; N/O from K. Z.
Arellano-Córdova et al. 2025). The high-redshift galaxies, such as RXCJ2248-ID3,
exhibit compact morphologies (Re ≲ 102 pc) that lead to much higher SFR surface
densities than seen at z ∼ 0, as well as bursty star formation histories that favor
the rapid buildup of massive stars capable of entering the short-lived WN phases
(M⋆ > 20 M⊙). The high-redshift N emitters also have high Hβ EWs (>200 Å) that are
indicative of young current bursts of star formation (<5 Myr). This suggests that
compactness alone is not enough to observe enhanced N/O; we must also observe these
galaxies at the fleeting moments of very young bursts when WR stars are most active.\r\n\r\nZoom

similar to z ∼ 2–3 galaxies. High-redshift N emitters are only observed at young
ages (≲5 Myr), as indicated by the high Hβ EWs (EW> 200 Å), and in compact, dense
environments (ΣSFR > 10 M⊙ yr−1 kpc−1). Note that RXCJ2248-ID3 is plotted here using
the properties derived from M. W. Topping et al. (2024) for continuous star formation
to be consistent with the other N-emitter measurements.\r\n\r\nDownload figure:\r\n\r\nStandard
imageHigh-resolution image\r\nFigure 7 suggests a scenario of elevated N/O at low
metallicity being preferentially seen in galaxies with high SFR surface densities
and young stellar ages (e.g., D. Schaerer et al. 2024; M. W. Topping et al. 2024;
Z. Martinez et al. 2025). R. Marques-Chaves et al. (2024) also suggest that the
elevated N/O and high-ionization spectrum of CEERS-1019 trace a short evolutionary
window of a ≲5 Myr burst dominated by WN-like feedback. Furthermore, the theoretical
models of C. Charbonnel et al. (2023) predict that such phases are characteristic
of young, dense stellar systems, potentially analogous to protoglobular clusters,
reinforcing that our observed WN-driven enrichment is a natural outcome of clustered,
bursty star formation at early times.\r\n\r\nAt low metallicity, weaker stellar
winds require higher initial masses for stars to reach the WR phase, so a larger
total stellar mass must form in a burst to produce a detectable population of WN
stars. In compact galaxies beyond cosmic noon, this condition is naturally met in
systems with high SFR surface densities, which statistically sample the upper IMF
more fully and produce a detectable population of WN stars (e.g., J. Brinchmann
et al. 2008; M. Shirazi & J. Brinchmann 2012). Furthermore, the WR enrichment signature
is short-lived: it must be captured during the brief WN-dominated phase (tburst
≲ 5 Myr and ΔtWN ≲ 0.3 Myr), before dilution from WC stars, CCSNe, or delayed AGB
enrichment. These timing constraints imply that only a small fraction of the star-forming
galaxies in the distant Universe will be caught in this phase. The detection of
WR-driven N/O enhancement at high redshift thus reflects a brief evolutionary stage
where intense, rapid feedback from a large number of WN stars briefly imprints nonuniform
elemental enrichment patterns (i.e., elevated N/O), which are expected to be quickly
washed away. As soon as the system evolves beyond the WN phase, subsequent WC or
CCSN yields will rapidly dilute the N excess and alter the overall abundance patter
(e.g., increasing C/O, lowering N/C).\r\n\r\nRecently, M. W. Topping et al. (2025b)
showed that galaxies with significant N iv] emission (corresponding to extreme N/O
enhancement), are found exclusively among galaxies with extreme [O iii]+Hβ EWs of
2600–4200 Å. Galaxies with such high [O iii]+Hβ EWs are in the upper 2% tail of
the EW distribution at z ≳ 4 and are outliers at z ∼ 0. This strongly suggests that
high N/O outliers are confined to the youngest stellar populations undergoing their
most intense bursts of star formation in the early Universe (e.g., R. Endsley et
al. 2023, 2025; J. Matthee et al. 2023; M. W. Topping et al. 2025b).\r\n\r\nIn this
context, M. W. Topping et al. (2025b) found that 30% of galaxies with EW[O III]
+ Hβ > 2000 Å show strong nitrogen emission, corresponding to ∼0.6% of their UV-selected
parent population. If this 0.6% population corresponds to enhanced N/O during the
ΔtWN ∼ 0.3 Myr WN phase, it would imply a characteristic burst timescale of ∼50
Myr. A practical consequence is that young bursts substantially increase the light-to-mass
ratios and, thus, the likelihood of detection in flux-limited samples (e.g., C.
A. Mason et al. 2023; J. B. Muñoz et al. 2023; G. Sun et al. 2023). Therefore, the
observed frequency of strong nitrogen emitters at fixed MUV is likely biased high
relative to their intrinsic abundance (e.g., at fixed stellar mass). Given the detectability
bias toward burst phases, this tburst may represent a lower limit, with the true
interval plausibly longer. This timescale is supported by recent analyses of the
scatter in the star-forming main sequence and time-resolved SFR indicators at z
∼ 3–9 that suggest burst cycles of tens-of-megayear timescales (albeit with broad
distributions, e.g., C. Simmonds et al. 2025). Thus, the combination of extreme-EW
selection and N iv] frequency provides a novel timing argument that WN-driven enrichment
is tightly coupled to very young, transient starburst phases beyond cosmic noon.\r\n\r\nTaken
together, the arguments presented in this work suggest that nitrogen outliers are
not exotic exceptions, but rather a brief, WN-enriched phase that any high-redshift
galaxy with sufficiently high SFR surface density can pass through. In contrast,
numerous low-redshift WR galaxies exhibit young populations that include WN and
WC stars but show little or no N/O enhancement (e.g., Y. I. Izotov et al. 2006;
C. Kehrig et al. 2013). This difference underscores that similar stellar populations
do not guarantee the same chemical signatures; instead, the extreme densities, compactness,
and rapid mixing timescales of high-redshift starbursts likely make WN-driven enrichment
both more pronounced and more transient. In this view, N/O outliers in the early
Universe are not anomalies, but rather are the chemical fingerprints of galaxies
caught midburst, showing fleeting yet inevitable markers of early galaxy evolution.\r\n\r\n6.
Conclusions\r\nWe have presented a detailed enrichment scenario by WN stars that
explains the extreme nitrogen enrichment in the metal-poor (∼10% Z⊙), high surface-density
(1.34 × 103 M⊙ pc−2), high-redshift (z = 6.1025), lensed galaxy RXCJ2248-ID3. These
measurements were made possible by exceptionally deep JWST/NIRSpec medium-resolution
spectroscopy of RXCJ2248-ID3, obtained as part of the GLIMPSE-D survey. The unprecedented
depth and S/N of the GLIMPSE-D spectrum allow spectral measurements typically limited
to the nearby Universe, including consistent broad components in the Balmer series
and [O iii] λ4364 and λλ4960,5008 lines, faint [Ar iv] λλ4713,4741 emission, and
signatures of WR stars. Specifically, we detected the emission characteristic of
WN-type stars, including strong N iii λ4642 and broadened He ii λ1640 and λ4687
emission, marking RXCJ2248-ID3 as the most distant galaxy to date with spectroscopic
detections of WR stars.\r\n\r\nWe performed a detailed nebular analysis, self-consistently
measuring the reddening, high-ionization temperature (Te(O+2)), and densities from
five different diagnostics across a wide ionization range. We measure a low reddening
value of from the Hγ/Hβ ratio but find an excess in the Hα/Hβ ratio of 0.204 due
to collisional excitation of Hα. The measured densities span the range of 1.15 ×
103 cm−3 ≤ ne ≤ 2.65 × 105 cm−3 and show strong evidence for nebular density stratification,
with systematically higher densities in the highest-ionization gas and UV emission
tracing gas at higher densities than those traced by optical diagnostics. This structure
implies a highly clumpy, multiphase ISM. We note that such high-density, multiphase
gas leads to densities from optical diagnostics that are biased to the low end of
the density range due to their low critical densities. Therefore, we recommend using
UV density diagnostics because they are more robust in high-density environments:
ne(Si+2), ne(C+2), and ne(N+3) trace the densities in the low-, intermediate-, and
high-ionization gas, respectively. As a result, we measure a direct-method metallicity
of .\r\n\r\nUsing the full rest-UV+optical spectra, we present the first robust,
consistent measurements of N/O abundance in any galaxy using three ionization stages
of nitrogen (N+/O+, N+2/O+2, N+3/O+2). The uniformity of our N/O measurements suggests
that the N/O enrichment is spatially extended and well mixed throughout the ionized
ISM. Empirical trends suggest C/O should follow a similar trend as N/O, and thus
also be enhanced. In contrast, we find C/O to be significantly depleted relative
to N/O, suggesting nonuniform elemental enrichment likely driven by WN stars with
little to no contribution from WC stars.\r\n\r\nThe CNO abundance pattern is best
reproduced by a modified version of the dual-burst chemical evolution model from
C. Kobayashi & A. Ferrara (2024) that reduces the contribution from WC stars relative
to WN stars, as expected in metal-poor environments. The resulting short-lived WN
phase ejects N-rich, C-poor material. We use this chemical evolution model to assess
whether the observed N mass can plausibly arise from the recent star formation in
RXCJ2248-ID3 and estimate an ionized N mass of 435 M⊙. This value is consistent
with the N mass estimated from the observed emission lines of M⊙ if % of the N gas
is ionized.\r\n\r\nThese results demonstrate that standard stellar evolution models
can reproduce both the CNO pattern and the total nitrogen mass observed without
invoking an exotic IMF or enrichment channel. The uniform N/O ratios across multiple
ionization zones further suggest that the WN yields were rapidly mixed into a relatively
pristine ambient ISM, preserving the global enhancement observed in RXCJ2248-ID3.
Although RXCJ2248-ID3 exhibits strong density and temperature stratification, this
structural complexity does not necessarily imply chemical inhomogeneity. The consistent
N/O ratios across ions tracing vastly different physical conditions indicate that
the enriched material was efficiently dispersed throughout the multiphase ISM. In
such a compact (Re ≈ 20 pc), high-pressure environment, turbulent and radiative
mixing can homogenize the chemical composition on timescales comparable to, or shorter
than, the brief WN phase itself, yielding a chemically uniform yet physically clumpy
nebula.\r\n\r\nImportantly, the abundance pattern and physical conditions observed
in RXCJ2248-ID3 can only be explained if the galaxy is caught during a narrow evolutionary
window within a few megayears of a massive, compact starburst when WN stars dominate
chemical feedback. At low metallicity, stars require higher initial masses to reach
the WR phase, making such enrichment episodes rare and dependent on sufficiently
high SFRs to fully populate the upper IMF. Furthermore, the WN phase itself is extremely
short-lived (∼0.03–0.3 Myr) and easily masked by subsequent WC winds, CCSNe, or
AGB stars contributions. These timing and SFR constraints make WR-driven N/O enhancement
a rare phenomenon associated with extreme starburst conditions that are more common
in the early Universe, and which are scarce in the local Universe.\r\n\r\nOur results
suggest that the WN-driven N/O enrichment we observe is not a peculiar property
of a single system, but rather a brief phase that essentially all high-redshift
galaxies (z > 5) with sufficiently high SFR surface densities to produce significant
numbers of WN stars likely undergo. In particular, the work of M. W. Topping et
al. (2025b) can be used to link N/O outliers to the most extreme [O iii]+Hβ EWs.
The observed frequency of such EWs combined with the short lifetime of the WN phase
implies a burst cycle of order ∼50 Myr, consistent with galaxies repeatedly cycling
through short, bursty episodes of enrichment. Thus, the GLIMPSE-D spectrum of RXCJ2248-ID3
provides not only the first direct evidence of WN stars shaping the chemical evolution
of z > 5 galaxies but also a timing argument that situates N/O outliers as a natural,
fleeting, phase of high-redshift star formation.\r\n\r\nTaken together, our findings
are a glimpse into a short-lived phase of chemically selective enrichment from WN
stars at cosmic dawn, providing a physically self-consistent solution to the extreme
N/O enhancement and relative C/O depletion observed in RXCJ2248-ID3 and galaxies
like it. Thus, RXCJ2248-ID3 serves as a benchmark case for interpreting chemically
enriched, stratified, multiphase starbursts in the early Universe.\r\n\r\nAcknowledgments\r\nWe

text: We aim to characterise the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) and the 3D correlation
between the stellar mass, metallicity, and star formation rate (SFR) known as
the fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) for galaxies at 5 < z < 7. Using ∼800
[O III] selected galaxies from deep NIRCam grism surveys, we present our stacked
measurements of direct-Te metallicities, which we used to test recent strong-line
metallicity calibrations. Our measured direct-Te metallicities (0.1–0.2 Z⊙ for
M★ ≈ 5 × 107 − 9 M⊙, respectively) match recent JWST/NIRSpec-based results. However,
there are significant inconsistencies between observations and hydrodynamical
simulations. We observe a flatter MZR slope than the SPHINX20 and FLARES simulations,
which cannot be attributed to selection effects. With simple models, we show that
the effect of an [O III] flux-limited sample on the observed shape of the MZR
is strongly dependent on the FMR. If the FMR is similar to the one in the local
Universe, the intrinsic high-redshift MZR should be even flatter than is observed.
In turn, a 3D relation where SFR correlates positively with metallicity at fixed
mass would imply an intrinsically steeper MZR. Our measurements indicate that
metallicity variations at fixed mass show little dependence on the SFR, suggesting
a flat intrinsic MZR. This could indicate that the low-mass galaxies at these
redshifts are out of equilibrium and that metal enrichment occurs rapidly in low-mass
galaxies. However, being limited by our stacking analysis, we are yet to probe
the scatter in the MZR and its dependence on SFR. Large carefully selected samples
of galaxies with robust metallicity measurements can put tight constraints on
the high-redshift FMR and help us to understand the interplay between gas flows,
star formation, and feedback in early galaxies.

text: 'We prove that the average size of a mixed character sum (math. formular)
(for a suitable smooth function w) is on the order of √x for all irrational real
θ satisfying a weak Diophantine condition, where χ is drawn from the family of
Dirichlet characters modulo a large prime r and where x 6 r. In contrast, it was
proved by Harper that the average size is o(√x) for rational θ. Certain quadratic
Diophantine equations play a key role in the present paper. '

text: "1. Collective behaviours are a fascinating study area due to the emergent
properties that can only arise in groups of interacting individuals. However,
their quantitative study is often impaired by technical difficulties, creating
either low-quality and sparse data or impractical data amounts, particularly when
capturing large groups over long periods of time. Common challenges arise from
recording group members with as little obscuring of each other as possible, as
well as in generating manageable data amounts with as high as possible information
content.\r\n2. We here provide a multicomponent system that allows to record,
analyse and simulate the long-term spatiotemporal activity patterns of insect
collectives, especially ant colonies. Our Ant Observing System, ALTAA, comprises
a flat-nest design to prevent occlusion of individuals, a recording system running
on a low-power single-board-computer, and a set of computer programmes performing
quantitative analyses to guide the formation and validation of rules underlying
the observed collective patterns. Our system is scalable in that it allows parallel,
continuous observation of a high number of colonies using low memory space, with
colony maintenance requirements (e.g. feeding, nest humidity) being achieved at
lowest possible disturbance by the experimenter.\r\n3. We showcase the potential
of the system in a study using the black garden ant, Lasius niger, where we analyse
the spatiotemporal effects of different group sizes (1, 6, 10 ants), brood (larvae)
presence or absence, as well as of different nest geometries, over a period of
1 week. We show that the ants' motion activity has a weak periodicity in the range
of 20 to 120 min promoted by larval presence, and that ants are spatially attracted
to their larvae, the water source and the walls. We also find that the presence
of nestmates lowers an individual ant's motion activity. Observed data are compared
to simulations of the temporal activity of the ants.\r\n4. ALTAA provides a powerful
toolkit to quantify and interpret spatial and temporal collective activity patterns
in (social) insects over extended periods."

text: 'The Hα emission line in galaxies is a powerful tracer of their recent star
formation activity. With the advent of JWST, we are now able to routinely observe
Hα in galaxies at high redshift (z ≳ 3) and thus measure their star formation
rates (SFRs). However, using classical SFR(Hα) calibrations to derive the SFRs
leads to biased results because high-redshift galaxies are commonly characterized
by low metallicities and bursty star formation histories, affecting the conversion
factor between the Hα luminosity (LHα) and the SFR. We developed a set of new
SFR(Hα) calibrations that allowed us to predict the SFRs of Hα-emitters at z ≳ 3
with very little error. We used the SPHINX cosmological simulations to select
a sample of star-forming galaxies representative of the Hα-emitter population
observed with JWST. We then derived linear corrections to the classical SFR(Hα)
calibrations that took variations in the physical properties (e.g., stellar metallicities)
among individual galaxies into account. We obtained two new SFR(Hα) calibrations
that compared to the classical calibrations reduce the root mean squared error
(RMSE) in the predicted SFRs by ΔRMSE ≈ 0.04 dex and ΔRMSE ≈ 0.06 dex, respectively.
Using the recent JWST NIRCam/grism observations of Hα-emitters at z ∼ 6, we show
that the new calibrations affect the high-redshift galaxy population statistics:
(i) the estimated cosmic SFR density decreases by ΔρSFR ≈ 12%, and (ii) the observed
slope of the star formation main sequence increases by Δ∂logSFR/∂logM★ = 0.08 ± 0.02.'

text: 'Let G be a finite, connected metric graph and let X be a subset of G. If
X is sufficiently dense in G, we show that the Gromov-Hausdorff distance matches
the Hausdorff distance, namely d_GH(G,X) = d_H(G,X). When the metric graph is
the circle G = S¹ with circumference 2π, a recent study established the equality
d_GH(S¹,X) = d_H(S¹,X) whenever d_GH(S¹,X) < π/6. Our results relax this hypothesis
to d_GH(S¹,X) < π/3, and furthermore, we show that the constant π/3 is the best
possible. We lower bound the Gromov-Hausdorff distance d_GH(G,X) by the Hausdorff
distance d_H(G,X) via a simple topological obstruction: the existence of a possibly
discontinuous function f: G → X with too small distortion contradicts the connectedness
of G.'

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: 'When two insulating, neutral materials are contacted and separated, they
exchange electrical charge1. Experiments have long suggested that this ‘contact
electrification’ is transitive, with different materials ordering into ‘triboelectric
series’ based on the sign of charge acquired2. At the same time, the effect is
plagued by unpredictability, preventing consensus on the mechanism and casting
doubt on the rhyme and reason that series imply3. Here we expose an unanticipated
connection between the unpredictability and order in contact electrification:
nominally identical materials initially exchange charge randomly and intransitively,
but—over repeated experiments—order into triboelectric series. We find that this
evolution is driven by the act of contact itself—samples with more contacts in
their history charge negatively to ones with fewer contacts. Capturing this ‘contact
bias’ in a minimal model, we recreate both the initial randomness and ultimate
order in numerical simulations and use it experimentally to force the appearance
of a triboelectric series of our choosing. With a set of surface-sensitive techniques
to search for the underlying alterations contact creates, we only find evidence
of nanoscale morphological changes, pointing to a mechanism strongly coupled with
mechanics. Our results highlight the centrality of contact history in contact
electrification and suggest that focusing on the unpredictability that has long
plagued the effect may hold the key to understanding it.'

text: The Hα nebular emission line is an optimal tracer for recent star formation
in galaxies. With the advent of JWST, this line has recently become observable
at z > 3 for the first time. We present a catalog of 1050 Hα emitters at 3.7 < z < 6.7
in the GOODS fields obtained from a blind search in JWST NIRCam/grism data. We
made use of the FRESCO survey’s 124 arcmin2 of observations in GOODS-North and
GOODS-South with the F444W filter, probing Hα at 4.9 < z < 6.7, and the CONGRESS
survey’s 62 arcmin2 of observations in GOODS-North with F356W, probing Hα at 3.8 < z < 5.1.
We found an overdensity with 98 sources at z ∼ 4.4 in GOODS-N, and confirmed previously
reported overdensities at z ∼ 5.2 in GOODS-N and at z ∼ 5.4 and z ∼ 5.9 in GOODS-S.
We computed the observed Hα luminosity functions (LFs) in three bins centered
at z ∼ 4.45, 5.30, and 6.15, which are the first such measurements at z > 3 obtained
based purely on spectroscopic data, robustly tracing galaxy star formation rates
(SFRs) beyond the peak of the cosmic star formation history. We compared our results
with theoretical predictions from three different simulations and found good agreement
at z ∼ 4 − 6. The UV LFs of this spectroscopically confirmed sample are in good
agreement with pre-JWST measurements obtained with photometrically selected objects.
Finally, we derived SFR functions and integrated them to compute the evolution
of the cosmic SFR densities across z ∼ 4 − 6, finding values in good agreement
with recent UV estimates from Lyman-break galaxies, which imply a continuous decrease
in SFR density by a factor of three over z ∼ 4 to z ∼ 6. Our work shows the power
of NIRCam grism observations to efficiently provide new tests for early galaxy
formation models based on emission line statistics.

text: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the most common causative agents
of mammary gland infection and mastitis, but the specific role of S. aureus-derived
extracellular vesicles (SaEVs) in mastitis has been poorly studied to date. Here,
we aimed to investigate the response of bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (boMdM)
to SaEVs of the genotype B (GTB) mastitis-related strain M5512B. Specifically,
we evaluated the effects on the actin cytoskeleton, gene expression, and the SaEV
proteomic cargo. Furthermore, we assessed to what extent the cellular and molecular
response of boMdM to SaEVs differed from peripheral mononuclear blood cells (PBMCs)
used for in vitro derivation of the former. We observed that SaEVs induced morphological
changes in boMdM, leading to a pro-inflammatory and pyroptosis-related increased
gene expression. Additionally, our study revealed that boMdM and PBMCs exhibited
stimulus-specific differing responses. The proteomic analysis of SaEVs identified
clusters of proteins related to virulence and antibiotic resistance, supporting
the theory that S. aureus might use EVs to evade host defences and colonize the
mammary gland. Our results bring new insights into how SaEVs might impact the
host during an S. aureus infection, which can be useful for future S. aureus vaccine
development.

text: In the present study, the new ternary rare earth intermetallic compound PrNi6Si6
has been investigated. This work completes the study of the RNi6Si6 series (R = rare
earth). While the RNi6Si6 compounds for R = La and Ce adopt the CeNi6Si6-type
(tP52, P4/nbm, No. 125), surprisingly PrNi6Si6 crystallizes in the YNi6Si6 prototype
(tP52, P − 4b2, No. 117) as do all the heavier lanthanides (but Lu). The YNi6Si6-type
and its homolog CeNi6Si6 are two tetragonal ordered derivative of the cubic NaZn13-type
structure. Lattice parameters for PrNi6Si6 are a = 7.7846(1) Å, c = 11.2144(1)
Å, with a unit cell volume, Vobs = 679.585(5) Å3. The temperature dependence of
the inverse magnetic susceptibility χ−1(T) follows the Curie–Weiss law, with calculated
values of the effective magnetic moment (µeff) and Weiss temperature (Θpm) of
3.55 μB and − 4.5 K, respectively. While the observed µeff is very close to the
theoretical value of 3.58 µB for the free Pr3+ ions, a negative value of the Weiss
temperature suggests antiferromagnetic interactions in PrNi6Si6. Magnetization
measurements confirm that PrNi₆Si₆ orders antiferromagnetically (AFM) below a
Néel temperature (TN) of 9 K. The Ni atoms contribute negligibly to the magnetic
properties of this phase. The specific heat of PrNi₆Si₆ is approximately 0.42
J K − 1 g − 1. Measurements of electric and thermal transport reveal that PrNi₆Si₆
exhibits metallic behavior across a wide temperature range of 2–900 K, accompanied
by a relatively low thermal conductivity of around 6 W K − 1 m − 1 at room temperature.
Such properties, together with its high-temperature refractory behavior, make
PrNi₆Si₆ worthy of consideration in technological applications where fairly good
electrical conductivity should be accompanied by a limited thermal conductivity.

text: As the field of neural organoids and assembloids expands, there is an emergent
need for guidance and advice on designing, conducting and reporting experiments
to increase the reproducibility and utility of these models. In this Perspective,
we present a framework for the experimental process that encompasses ensuring
the quality and integrity of human pluripotent stem cells, characterizing and
manipulating neural cells in vitro, transplantation techniques and considerations
for modelling human development, evolution and disease. As with all scientific
endeavours, we advocate for rigorous experimental designs tailored to explicit
scientific questions as well as transparent methodologies and data sharing to
provide useful knowledge for current research practices and for developing regulatory
standards.

text: "We report the spectroscopic discovery of a massive quiescent galaxy at zspec
= 7.29 ± 0.01, just ∼700 Myr after the big bang. RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 was selected
from public JWST/NIRCam and MIRI imaging from the PRIMER survey and observed with
JWST/NIRSpec as part of RUBIES. The NIRSpec/PRISM spectrum reveals one of the
strongest Balmer breaks observed thus far at z > 6, with no emission lines but
tentative Balmer and Ca absorption features, as well as a Lyman break. Simultaneous
modeling of the NIRSpec/PRISM spectrum and NIRCam and MIRI photometry (spanning
0.9–18 μm) shows that the galaxy formed a stellar mass of\r\n(math. formular)
before z ∼ 8 and ceased forming stars 50–100 Myr prior to the time of observation,
resulting in log (sSFR/Gyr- 1) < -1 . We measure a small physical size of (math
formular) , which implies a high stellarmass surface density within the effective
radius of (math formular) comparable to the highest densities measured in quiescent
galaxies at z ∼ 2–5. The 3D stellar-mass density profile of RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 is
remarkably similar to the central densities of local massive ellipticals, suggesting
that at least some of their cores may have already been in place at z > 7. The
discovery of RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7 has strong implications for galaxy formation models:
the estimated number density of quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 7 is >100 × larger than
predicted from any model to date, indicating that quiescent galaxies have formed
earlier than previously expected. "

text: This summary of the second Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry
(TVLBAI) Workshop provides a comprehensive overview of our meeting held in London
in April 2024 (Second Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop,
Imperial College, April 2024), building on the initial discussions during the
inaugural workshop held at CERN in March 2023 (First Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline
Atom Interferometry Workshop, CERN, March 2023). Like the summary of the first
workshop (Abend et al. in AVS Quantum Sci. 6:024701, 2024), this document records
a critical milestone for the international atom interferometry community. It documents
our concerted efforts to evaluate progress, address emerging challenges, and refine
strategic directions for future large-scale atom interferometry projects. Our
commitment to collaboration is manifested by the integration of diverse expertise
and the coordination of international resources, all aimed at advancing the frontiers
of atom interferometry physics and technology, as set out in a Memorandum of Understanding
signed by over 50 institutions (Memorandum of Understanding for the Terrestrial
Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometer Study).

text: The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed low-luminosity active galactic
nuclei at redshifts of z ≳ 4–7, many of which host accreting massive black holes
(BHs) with BH-to-galaxy mass (MBH/M⋆) ratios exceeding the local values by more
than an order of magnitude. The origin of these overmassive BHs remains unclear
but requires potential contributions from heavy seeds and/or episodes of super-Eddington
accretion. We present a growth model coupled with dark matter halo assembly to
explore the evolution of the MBH/M⋆ ratio under different seeding and feedback
scenarios. Given the gas inflow rates in protogalaxies, BHs grow episodically
at moderate super-Eddington rates, and the mass ratio increases early on, despite
significant mass loss through feedback. Regardless of seeding mechanisms, the
mass ratio converges to a universal value ∼0.1–0.3, set by the balance between
gas feeding and star formation efficiency in the nucleus. This behavior defines
an attractor in the MBH–M⋆ diagram, where overmassive BHs grow more slowly than
their hosts, while undermassive seeds experience rapid growth before aligning
with the attractor. We derive an analytical expression for the universal mass
ratio, linking it to feedback strength and halo growth. The convergence of evolutionary
tracks erases seeding information from the mass ratio by z ∼ 4–6. Detecting BHs
with ∼105−6 M⊙ at higher redshifts that deviate from the convergence trend would
provide key diagnostics of their birth conditions.
