abstract

The recent JWST tentative discovery of a population of super-early (redshift $z> 10$), relatively massive (stellar mass $M_* = 10^{8-9} M_{\odot}$) and evolved (metallicity $Z \approx 0.1 Z_{\odot}$) galaxies, which nevertheless show blue ($\beta \simeq -2.6$) spectra, and very small dust attenuation ($A_{\rm V} \leq 0.02$), challenges our interpretation of these systems. To solve the puzzle we propose two solutions in which dust is either (a) ejected by radiation pressure, or (b) segregated with respect to UV-emitting regions. We clarify the conditions for which the two scenarios apply, and show that they can be discriminated by ALMA observations, such as the recent non-detection of the $88\mu m$ dust continuum in GHZ2 ($z\simeq 12$) favouring dust ejection.

  1. SCRIPT in the Cosmic Dawn: Distinguishing Redshift-Evolving Galaxy Populations with 21-cm Fluctuations

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The 21-cm power spectrum, not the sky-averaged signal alone, can distinguish a redshift-evolving galaxy population from a static one during the cosmic dawn.

  2. Bright Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn: A Cloud-Scale Star Formation Model Unifying Variable SFE, IMFs, and Stochasticity

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A cloud-based semi-analytic model shows that a top-heavy stellar initial mass function and a cloud-property-dependent star-formation efficiency, rather than cloud mass or density, most strongly shape the UV luminosity...
