Paschen-line Constraints on Dust Attenuation and Star Formation at z ∼ 1–3 with JWST/NIRSpec

Paschen-line Constraints on Dust Attenuation and Star Formation at z ∼ 1–3 with JWST/NIRSpec

We use medium-resolution JWST/NIRSpec observations from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey to place the first constraints on dust attenuation and star formation based on Paschen lines for a sizable sample of 63 galaxies at redshifts z = 1.0–3.1. Our analysis indicates strong correlati...
