Arxiv: JWST Reveals Bulge-dominated Star-forming Galaxies at Cosmic Noon Published: 9/12/2024 9:00:05 PM Updated: 10/16/2024 7:52:13 PM
Paper abstract: Hubble Space Telescope imaging shows that most star-forming galaxies atcosmic noon -- the peak of cosmic star formation history -- appeardisk-dominated, leaving the origin of the dense cores in their quiescentdescendants unclear. With the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST)high-resolution imaging to 5 {\mu}m, we can now map the rest-framenear-infrared emission, a much closer proxy for stellar mass distribution, inthese massive galaxies. We selected 70 star-forming galaxies with10
