With excellent spectral and angular resolutions and, especially, sensitivity, the JWST allows us to observe infrared emission lines that were previously inaccessible or barely accessible. These emission lines are promising for evaluating the physical conditions in different galaxies. Based on MAPPINGS V photoionization models, we systematically

Motivated by the observation of extended stellar cores in dark matter (DM)-dominated dwarf galaxies, this study investigates a simple mechanism by which stellar cores can form as a result of DM halo expansion. Several non-CDM models predict that the DM distribution thermalizes over time, transforming initially cuspy halos into cores. This

We present a sample of six F200W and three F277W dropout sources identified as 16 < z < 25 galaxy candidates using the deepest JWST/NIRCam data to date (5σ depths ∼31.5 mag at ≥2 μm), provided by the MIRI Deep Imaging Survey and the Next Generation Deep Extragalactic Exploratory Public survey. We estimate ultraviolet (UV) luminosity functions and

The centaur (2060) Chiron has long been a candidate for hosting material in orbit, based on occultation and photometric and spectroscopic data. Here, we present a multichord stellar occultation observed on 2023 September 10 UT that reveals new and complex structures surrounding Chiron. High-cadence light curves show multiple secondary events that

The neutron star X-ray transient MAXI J1807+132 underwent outbursts in 2017, 2019, and 2023. We conducted an R-band time series photometry campaign using the Isaac Newton Telescope during the 2022 quiescent state. We detected a periodic variation in the light curve that is consistent with ellipsoidal modulation, which allowed us to determine an

Observations of some quiescent black hole X-ray binaries have revealed an excess of mid-infrared (MIR) emission above that expected from their donor stars. In one system, V404 Cygni, this excess has been variously suggested to arise from the accretion disk, circumbinary material, or a compact relativistic jet. Here we present simultaneous James
