Two Remarkably Luminous Galaxy Candidates at z ≈ 10–12 Revealed by JWST (2022, methodology): “With the advent of JWST, we now have an unprecedented view of the Universe at ∼ 2−5 µm thanks to the extremely sensitive NIRCam instrument (see, e.g., Rieke et al. 2005).”
Galaxy Formation and Reionization: Key Unknowns and Expected Breakthroughs by the James Webb Space Telescope (2021, unknown): “The Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam; Rieke et al. 2005) features two HgCdTe detector modules with dichroics to expose short (λ0.”
The GLASS-JWST Early Release Science Program. I. Survey Design and Release Plans (2022, methodology): “With the above in mind, the GLASS-JWST-ERS program (JWST-ERS-1324: PI: Treu) will obtain the deepest ERS observations with NIRISS (Doyon et al. 2012), NIRSpec (Jakobsen et al. 2022), and NIRCam (Rieke et al. 2005).”
CEERS Epoch 1 NIRCam Imaging: Reduction Methods and Simulations Enabling Early JWST Science Results (2022, methodology): “The complete program involves imaging with the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam; Rieke et al. 2003, 2005; Beichman et al. 2012) short and long-wavelength channels in ten pointings, observed as coordinated parallels to primary observations with the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec; Jakobsen et al.…”
A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away: A Candidate z ∼ 12 Galaxy in Early JWST CEERS Imaging (2022, methodology): “Here we make use of the first four CEERS NIRCam pointings, obtained on 2022 June 21, known as CEERS1, CEERS2, CEERS3, and CEERS6.”
Spectroscopic confirmation of four metal-poor galaxies at z = 10.3–13.2 (2022, methodology): “The identification and photometric study of these candidates, based on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and NIRCam data 26 , is described in a companion paper 27 .”
A Comprehensive Study of Galaxies at z ∼ 9–16 Found in the Early JWST Data: Ultraviolet Luminosity Functions and Cosmic Star Formation History at the Pre-reionization Epoch (2022, methodology): “The ERO imaging data taken with the NIRCam (Rieke et al. 2005) are deep enough to detect high-redshift galaxies with depths of ∼30 mag, and multiband data covering 2 μm wavelengths allow us to detect galaxies at a previously unreachable redshift range of up to z∼ 20.”
