摘要： The massive galaxy cluster El Gordo ($z=0.87$) imprints multitudes of gravitationally lensed arcs onto James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) images. Eight bands of NIRCam imaging were obtained in the Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science (PEARLS) program (GTO #1176). PSF-matched photometry across a suite of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and NIRCam filters gives new photometric redshifts. We confirm 54 known image multiplicities and find two new ones and construct a lens model based on the light-traces-mass method. The mass within 500kpc estimated from the lens model is $\sim$$7.0\times10^{14}$M$_{\odot}$ with a mass ratio between the southeastern and northwestern components of $\sim$unity, similar to recent works. A statistical search for substructures recovers only these two components, which are each tightly bound kinematically and are separated in radial velocity by ~300 km s$^{-1}$. We identify a candidate member of a known 4-member $z=4.32$ galaxy overdensity by its model-predicted and photometric redshifts. These five members span a physical extent of $\sim$60 kpc and exhibit multiple components consistent with satellite associations. Thirteen additional candidates selected by spectroscopic/photometric constraints are small and faint, with a mean apparent brightness corrected for lensing magnification that is $\sim$2.2 mag fainter than M*. NIRCam imaging admits a wide range of brightnesses and morphologies for these candidates, suggesting a more diverse galaxy population may be underlying this rare view of a strongly-lensed galaxy overdensity.
