In 3<z<8 galaxies, 12 of 26 systems with significant [OIII]/Hβ peaks show spatial offsets between the ionization peak and the stellar continuum center, consistent with—but not uniquely proving—off-center or wandering black holes.

JWST measurements of pitch angles in 593 spiral galaxies to z=3.5 show no overall redshift evolution but reveal correlations with mass and sSFR only below z=1.25, implying a transition from locally driven to globally regulated spiral arms.
Clumps in high-redshift spiral galaxies are smaller than commonly reported, spatially concentrated toward spiral arms, smaller but brighter inside arms than between them, with similar colors, suggesting arms stimulate clump formation but do not alter their star formation properties.
The clumpy-galaxy fraction rises from ~20% at z>6.5 to ~80% at z~2.75 in a 9,121-galaxy JWST sample, higher than HST-based values because JWST detects fainter clumps.
Observational analysis of 86 z~1 galaxies shows winds correlate with galaxy-wide SFR and Σ_SFR, not compact regions, implying distributed star formation drives outflows.
Clumpy galaxies at cosmic noon show systematically lower metallicities than the mass-metallicity relation, with clump properties indicating metal-poor gas accretion as the driver rather than mergers.
Multi-band imaging and Keck spectroscopy identify a z=0.92 galaxy pair as a physical merger at ~5 kpc projected separation with merger-induced star formation.

Hunting Wandering 3<z<8 Black Holes: Spatial Offsets in Ionization Ratio and Continuum Emission
In 3<z<8 galaxies, 12 of 26 systems with significant [OIII]/Hβ peaks show spatial offsets between the ionization peak and the stellar continuum center, consistent with—but not uniquely proving—off-center or wandering black holes.

Spiral arms across cosmic time: JWST measurements of the pitch angles of spiral galaxies at $z<3.5$
JWST measurements of pitch angles in 593 spiral galaxies to z=3.5 show no overall redshift evolution but reveal correlations with mass and sSFR only below z=1.25, implying a transition from locally driven to globally regulated spiral arms.

Clumps in spiral galaxies at $z \lesssim 3$: Disentangling two spatial modes of star formation
Clumps in high-redshift spiral galaxies are smaller than commonly reported, spatially concentrated toward spiral arms, smaller but brighter inside arms than between them, with similar colors, suggesting arms stimulate clump formation but do not alter their star formation properties.

The Fraction of Clumpy Galaxies in JADES Over $2<z<9$
The clumpy-galaxy fraction rises from ~20% at z>6.5 to ~80% at z~2.75 in a 9,121-galaxy JWST sample, higher than HST-based values because JWST detects fainter clumps.
