Clumpiness of galaxies revealed in the near-infrared with COSMOS-Web: Substructures at 1 < z < 4 and their link to stellar mass and star formation
Context. Clumps in the rest-frame UV emission of galaxies at z ≲ 3 have been observed for decades. Since the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a large population is detected in the rest-frame near-infrared (NIR), raising questions about their formation mechanism. Aims. We investigate the presence and properties of NIR overdensities
