abstract
The first generation of stars in the Universe is yet to be observed. There are two leading theories for those objects that mark the beginning of the cosmic dawn: hydrogen burning Population~III stars and Dark Stars, made of hydrogen and helium but powered by Dark Matter heating. The latter can grow to become supermassive ($M_\star\sim 10^6\Msun$) and extremely bright ($L\sim 10^9L_\odot$). We show that each of the following three objects: JADES-GS-z13-0, JADES-GS-z12-0, and JADES-GS-z11-0 (at redshifts $z\in[11,14]$) are consistent with a Supermassive Dark Star interpretation, thus identifying, for the first time, Dark Star candidates.

Complementary Planetary Spectroscopy Probes of Dark Matter
Dark matter annihilation energy deposited in planetary atmospheres and interiors, compared against existing UV airglow and heat flow measurements, yields new sub-GeV scattering constraints and long-lived mediator reach.

Early Galaxies from Rare Inflationary Processes and JWST Observations
Rare Poisson processes during inflation can seed dense regions that collapse into massive galaxies at redshifts where standard cosmology predicts almost none, and JWST could detect them.
