abstract

In this paper we describe the survey design for the Ultradeep NIRSpec and NIRCam ObserVations before the Epoch of Reionization (UNCOVER) Cycle 1 \JWST Treasury program, which executed its early imaging component in November 2022. The UNCOVER survey includes ultradeep ($\sim29-30\mathrm{AB}$) imaging of $\sim$45 arcmin$^2$ on and around the well-studied Abell 2744 galaxy cluster at $z=0.308$ and will follow-up ${\sim}500$ galaxies with extremely deep low-resolution spectroscopy with the NIRSpec/PRISM during the summer of 2023, with repeat visits in summer 2024. We describe the science goals, survey design, target selection, and planned data releases. We also present and characterize the depths of the first NIRCam imaging mosaic, highlighting previously unparalleled resolved and ultradeep 2-4 micron imaging of known objects in the field. The UNCOVER primary NIRCam mosaic spans 28.8 arcmin$^2$ in seven filters (F115W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F356W, F410M, F444W) and 16.8 arcmin$^2$ in our NIRISS parallel (F115W, F150W, F200W, F356W, and F444W). To maximize early community use of the Treasury data set, we publicly release full reduced mosaics of public JWST imaging including 45 arcmin$^2$ NIRCam and 17 arcmin$^2$ NIRISS mosaics on and around the Abell 2744 cluster, including the Hubble Frontier Field primary and parallel footprints.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Fine-structure absorption lines in a z=9.3 galaxy yield the first direct electron-density measurement of a high-redshift outflow, giving a mass-loading factor among the highest ever measured.

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Faint broad-line AGN at redshift 4 to 5 appear to live in low-mass galaxies of about 50 million solar masses, implying black holes that are an order of magnitude heavier than their host stellar mass.

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

    Only 0.08% of low-redshift broad-line objects have SEDs resembling high-redshift Little Red Dots, yielding nine candidates, one of which is the known analogue 'The Egg'.

    UNCOVER 3686 at z = 9.31 has a star-formation efficiency of 20–60%, 2–6 times above empirical models and consistent with the feedback-free starburst scenario.

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

    Excess Na I D absorption, interpreted as neutral-gas outflows, is detected in 20 of 811 galaxies at z>3 and rises steeply with stellar mass and quiescence.

    LRDs transition from underdense low-halo-mass environments at z>4 to typical galaxy conditions by z~3.5, with halo growth leading to larger sizes and SED changes that explain their disappearance at lower redshifts.

    astro-ph.CO 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Magnification bias analysis of Hubble Frontier Field cluster images indicates that roughly half of the z~4-5 photometric candidates are misidentified low-redshift cluster members.
