Just wanted to quickly advertise a really exciting new result just obtained by ALMA involving the detection (6.6 sigma) of the [OIII]88 line at z=14.1793 put together by an awesome PhD student in Leiden with the name of Sander Schouws. The [OIII]88 line detection was found by

The #ALMABO24 conference in Bologna kickstarts with a Local Galaxies session in the Giorgio Prodi lecture hall and just take in this view!😮

Are you an ECR? Do you like #JWST ? High-z galaxies/SMBHs? Skiing/curling/ice-skating in the Swiss Alps? Applications are now open for the 54th Saas-Fee Course on "Galaxies and Black Holes in the 1 Gyr as seen with the JWST" - Jan 27-31, 2025 - more info: https://t.co/NqH5vQ3KR5

Grant rejection, observing proposal rejections, and the childcare place suddenly closing down for good. And it's only Wednesday! 😭😭

Never complain again about JWST/ALMA being oversubscribed: "The number of hours requested by proposals in period 114 on UT4 amounted to 28.7 the available time" 🤯🤯🤯

A&A letter led by @aliceschimek: we explored FIR line ratios involving [CII]158, [OIII]88, [OIII]52, [NII] 122 and [NIII]57, detectable in the submm with @almaobs and @atlast_design at high z and potential diagnostics of ISM and CGM gas properties

Optical emission line diagnostics, which are a common tool to constrain the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies, become progressively inaccessible at higher redshifts for...

Dropped on arXiv today "The First Billion Years, according to JWST" a snapshot of the great progress made by JWST in the understanding of the early chapters of our cosmic history🎇 written by the attendees of the 2024 @ISSIBern Breakthrough Workshop.🤩 💫✨

Io, satellite of Jupiter, seen in visible band with an adaptive optics system on the Large Binocular Telescope located in Arizona. We can now say than AO on ground-based telescope is now better than space telescopes even in optical. https://t.co/D0OAbUnGCj

Let me finish this thread by thanking the FRESCO team without which this would not be possible, as well as everyone who has contributed and/or contributes to making JWST a phenomenal observatory for high-redshift science.

With a nominal escape fraction of ionising photons of 10%, we find that FRESCO detects (with spectroscopic redshifts!) galaxies accounting for ~10% of budget of reionisation. We are very close to finding the sources of reionisation!

There are many more things to discuss, but let's finish with a pet peeve of mine - reionisation. With the [OIII] and the negligible dust attenuation, we can compute directly the ionising emissivity of [OIII] detected by FRESCO. This bypasses the usual UVLF+xi_ion approach.

Another cool result comes when combining the slitless spectroscopy of FRESCO (F444W) with CONGRESS (F356) in GN. This gives the median-stacked rest-frame optical spectrum of these objects. We infer low metallicities, medium-high ionisation, and negligible dust attenuation.
