EIGER. II. First Spectroscopic Characterization of the Young Stars and Ionized Gas Associated with Strong Hβ and [O iii] Line Emission in Galaxies at z = 5–7 with JWST

EIGER. II. First Spectroscopic Characterization of the Young Stars and Ionized Gas Associated with Strong Hβ and [O iii] Line Emission in Galaxies at z = 5–7 with JWST

We present emission-line measurements and physical interpretations for a sample of 117 [O iii ] emitting galaxies at z = 5.33–6.93, using the first deep JWST/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopic observations. Our 9.7 hr integration is centered upon the z = 6.3 quasar J0100+2802—the first of six...
