The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered a surprising population of bright galaxies in the very early universe (<500 Myrs after the Big Bang) that is hard to explain with conventional galaxy formation models and whose physical properties remain to be fully understood. Insight into their internal physics is best captured through nebular lines but, at these early epochs, the brightest of these spectral features are redshifted into the mid-infrared and remain elusive. Using the JWST Mid-Infrared Instrument, MIRI, here we present the first detection of H{\alpha} and doubly-ionized oxygen ([OIII]5007AA) at z>10. These detections place the bright galaxy GHZ2/GLASS-z12 at z=12.33+/-0.04, making it the most distant astronomical object with direct spectroscopic detection of these lines. These observations provide key insights into the conditions of this primeval, luminous galaxy, which shows hard ionizing conditions rarely seen in the local Universe likely driven by compact and young (~30Myr) burst of star formation. Its oxygen-to-hydrogen abundance is close to a tenth of the solar value, indicating a rapid metal enrichment. This study confirms the unique conditions of this remarkably bright and distant galaxy and the huge potential of mid-IR observations to characterize these objects.

Charting the expansion of the Universe from z$\sim$0 to z$\sim$14 with HII galaxies
Using the HII-galaxy luminosity–velocity-dispersion relation, the authors extend the Hubble diagram to z≈14 and derive h=0.725±0.040, Ωm=0.308, and w consistent with ΛCDM.

Deep Constraints on [CII]158$\mu$m in JADES-GS-z14-0: Further Evidence for a Galaxy with Low Gas Content at z=14.2
Deep ALMA observations fail to detect [CII] 158 μm emission from the z=14.18 galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0, indicating an [OIII]/[CII] ratio above 3.5 and extreme ISM conditions with low gas content.

Deep Spectroscopic Follow-Up of Maisie's Galaxy -- A Typical Galaxy in the Early Universe
Deep JWST spectroscopy of Maisie's Galaxy at z=11.4 reveals moderate star formation, metallicity, and ionization consistent with a typical galaxy on the early star-formation main sequence rather than an extreme source.

Quantifying the detection likelihood of faint peaks in interferometric data through jackknifing: Test application on finding $z>10$ galaxy candidates
Applying visibility jackknifing to ALMA data shows the tentative z>10 detections in GLASS-z12, GLASS-z10, and S5-z17-1 are consistent with noise, supporting a >5 sigma detection threshold in broad line searches.
