The Physical Conditions of Emission-Line Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn from JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy in the SMACS 0723 Early Release Observations
We present rest-frame optical emission-line flux ratio measurements for five
galaxies observed by the JWST Near-Infared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) in the
SMACS 0723 Early Release Observations. We add several quality-control and
post-processing steps to the NIRSpec pipeline reduction products in order to
ensure reliable relative flux calibration of emission lines that are closely
separated in wavelength, despite the uncertain \textit{absolute}
spectrophotometry of the current version of the reductions. Compared to
galaxies in the literature, the galaxies have similar
[OIII]5008/H ratios, similar [OIII]4364/H
ratios, and higher (0.5 dex) [NeIII]3870/[OII]3728
ratios. We compare the observations to MAPPINGS V photoionization models and
find that the measured [NeIII]3870/[OII]3728,
[OIII]4364/H, and [OIII]5008/H emission-line
ratios are consistent with an interstellar medium that has very high ionization
(, units of cm~s), low metallicity (), and very high pressure (, units of
cm). The combination of [OIII]4364/H and
[OIII](4960+5008)/H line ratios indicate very high electron
temperatures of , further implying metallicities of
with the application of low-redshift calibrations for
``-based'' metallicities. These observations represent a tantalizing new
view of the physical conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies at
cosmic dawn.Comment: Accepted for publication in AAS Journals. 14 pages, 6 figures, 3

Self-Concept Clarity as a Moderator of the Associations Between Self-Change and Adjustment
The self-concept changes in many ways, and significantly changes when an individual adds positive traits, adds negative traits, removes negative traits, or removes positive traits from their self-concept. These four types of changes or self-processes – self-expansion, self-adulteration, self-pruning, and self-contraction, respectively – provide benefits to the individual (from self-expansion and self-pruning) as well as detriments (from self-adulteration and self-contraction). High self-concept clarity, or how well an individual knows themselves, also provides benefits for the self-concept, such as increased psychological adjustment. We predicted that self-concept clarity would moderate the associations between the self-processes and psychological adjustment. In Study 1, we found support for this moderation for self-pruning and self-contraction, such that when self-concept clarity was high, self-pruning was associated with higher psychological adjustment, while self-contraction was associated with lower psychological adjustment. In Study 2, we found support for this moderation for self-pruning but not self-contraction. The results indicate that self-concept clarity may occasionally amplify the positive and negative effects of the self-processes on psychological adjustment
Self-Expansion Does a Mind Good: Types of Self-Expansion and the Self-Resources Model
Self-expansion, the addition of positive traits to an individual’s self-concept, has many benefits to individuals. This study examined if one type of self-expansion provided more benefits than others, while also examining the Self-Resources Model, which posits that self-expansion increases self-resources, which then help reduce the negative impact of stressors and improve well-being. Study 1 primed self-expansion in each setting and then measured self-resources and mood. This study indicated no difference in the types of self-expansion, but the relationship between self-expansion and mood supported the Self-Resources Model. Study 2 collected daily survey responses which measured each type of self-expansion, self-resources, and mood. One type of self-expansion did not lead to more self-resources above the other types, but general self-expansion supported the Self-Resources Model. When specific types of self-expansion were examined, some supported the Self-Resources Model while others did not, leading to further questions on the different types of self-expansion
The Physical Conditions of Emission-line Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn from JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy in the SMACS 0723 Early Release Observations
International audienceWe present rest-frame optical emission-line flux ratio measurements for five z > 5 galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) in the SMACS 0723 Early Release Observations. We add several quality-control and post-processing steps to the NIRSpec pipeline reduction products in order to ensure reliable relative flux calibration of emission lines that are closely separated in wavelength, despite the uncertain absolute spectrophotometry of the current version of the reductions. Compared to z ∼ 3 galaxies in the literature, the z > 5 galaxies have similar [O iii ] λ 5008/H β ratios, similar [O iii ] λ 4364/H γ ratios, and higher (∼0.5 dex) [Ne III ] λ 3870/[O II ] λ 3728 ratios. We compare the observations to MAPPINGS V photoionization models and find that the measured [Ne III ] λ 3870/[O II ] λ 3728, [O iii ] λ 4364/H γ , and [O iii ] λ 5008/H β emission-line ratios are consistent with an interstellar medium (ISM) that has very high ionization ( log ( Q ) ≃ 8 − 9 , units of cm s −1 ), low metallicity ( Z / Z ⊙ ≲ 0.2), and very high pressure ( log ( P / k ) ≃ 8 − 9 , units of cm −3 ). The combination of [O iii ] λ 4364/H γ and [O iii ] λ (4960 + 5008)/H β line ratios indicate very high electron temperatures of 4.1 < log ( T e / K ) < 4.4 , further implying metallicities of Z / Z ⊙ ≲ 0.2 with the application of low-redshift calibrations for “ T e -based” metallicities. These observations represent a tantalizing new view of the physical conditions of the ISM in galaxies at cosmic dawn
The Physical Conditions of Emission-line Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn from JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy in the SMACS 0723 Early Release Observations
Abstract
We present rest-frame optical emission-line flux ratio measurements for five z > 5 galaxies observed by the James Webb Space Telescope Near-Infared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) in the SMACS 0723 Early Release Observations. We add several quality-control and post-processing steps to the NIRSpec pipeline reduction products in order to ensure reliable relative flux calibration of emission lines that are closely separated in wavelength, despite the uncertain absolute spectrophotometry of the current version of the reductions. Compared to z ∼ 3 galaxies in the literature, the z > 5 galaxies have similar [O iii]λ5008/Hβ ratios, similar [O iii]λ4364/Hγ ratios, and higher (∼0.5 dex) [Ne III]λ3870/[O II]λ3728 ratios. We compare the observations to MAPPINGS V photoionization models and find that the measured [Ne III]λ3870/[O II]λ3728, [O iii]λ4364/Hγ, and [O iii]λ5008/Hβ emission-line ratios are consistent with an interstellar medium (ISM) that has very high ionization (
