Detection of the Low-stellar-mass Host Galaxy of a z ∼ 6.25 Quasar with JWST
We characterize the stellar mass of J2239+0207, a z ∼ 6.25 sub-Eddington quasar ( M _1450 = −24.6), using dedicated JWST/NIRCam medium-band observations of a nearby point-spread function star to remove the central point source and reveal the underlying galaxy emission. We detect the host galaxy in t...
