DOI: 10.1088/1538-3873/aa65b0
Abstract: As we approach the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) era, several studies have emerged that aim to: 1) characterize how the instruments will perform and 2) determine what atmospheric spectral features could theoretically be detected… read more here.

How Dark the Sky: The JWST Backgrounds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific"
DOI: 10.1088/1538-3873/acbcf4
Abstract: We describe the sources of stray light and thermal background that affect JWST observations, report actual backgrounds as measured from commissioning and early-science observations, compare these background levels to prelaunch predictions, estimate the impact of… read more here.

On the stunning abundance of super-early, luminous galaxies revealed by JWST
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stad1095
Abstract: The earliest JWST observations have revealed an unexpected abundance of super-early (z > 10), massive ($M_*\, \approx 10^9 {\rm M}_{\odot }$ ) galaxies at the bright-end (MUV ≈ −21) of the ultraviolet luminosity function (UV… read more here.

The GREATS H β + [O iii] luminosity function and galaxy properties at z ∼ 8: walking the way of JWST
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"
DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz940
Abstract: The James Webb Space Telescope will allow to spectroscopically study an unprecedented number of galaxies deep into the reionization era, notably by detecting [O iii]λλ4959, 5007, and H β nebular emission lines. To efficiently prepare such observations,… read more here.
