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.

摘要: We use the 21 cm emission line data from the DINGO-VLA project to study the atomic hydrogen gas H\,{\textsc i} of the Universe at redshifts $z<0.1$. Results are obtained using a stacking analysis, combining the H\,{\textsc i} signals from 3622 galaxies extracted from 267 VLA pointings in the G09 field of the Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey (GAMA). Rather than using a traditional one-dimensional spectral stacking method, a three-dimensional cubelet stacking method is used to enable deconvolution and the accurate recovery of average galaxy fluxes from this high-resolution interferometric dataset. By probing down to galactic scales, this experiment also overcomes confusion corrections that have been necessary to include in previous single dish studies. After stacking and deconvolution, we obtain a $30\sigma$ H\,{\textsc i} mass measurement from the stacked spectrum, indicating an average H\,{\textsc i} mass of $M_{\rm H\,{\textsc i}}=(1.674\pm 0.183)\times 10^{9}~{\Msun}$. The corresponding cosmic density of neutral atomic hydrogen is $\Omega_{\rm H\,{\textsc i}}=(0.377\pm 0.042)\times 10^{-3}$ at redshift of $z=0.051$. These values are in good agreement with earlier results, implying there is no significant evolution of $\Omega_{\rm H\,{\textsc i}}$ at lower redshifts.
