Programs

JWST observations of gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters

Our team is leading JWST programs in Cycles 1 and 2: 1433, 2282, 4412, 4246. (Other JWST programs observing lensing clusters include the ERO, GLASS, TEMPLATES, UNCOVER, CANUCS, PEARLS, MAGNIF, and GLIMPSE )

Sunrise Arc + Earendel

The most highly magnified galaxy observed in the first billion years, revealing parsec-scale star clusters and the individual star system Earendel.

Cosmic Gems Arc

The most highly magnified galaxy observed in the first 500 million years, also revealing parsec-scale star clusters, including some that likely persisted for over 13 billion years to remain as globular clusters in a modern-day galaxy.

MACS0647-JD

One of the most distant galaxies ever seen by Hubble (z = 10.17, observed 460 Myr after the Big Bang) and the brightest (AB mag 25) known at this distance. JWST revealed it to have two components as well as a companion galaxy, all likely destined to merge.
