The programs and discoveries that define our group's science.

JWST Treasury · PI

VENUS

VENUS is the second largest JWST program, a multi-epoch treasury survey led by Seiji Fujimoto (PI) and Dan Coe (co-PI), targeting 60 massive galaxy clusters to capture the faintest galaxies, black holes, and supernovae at z~4–20 with unprecedented depth and spatial resolution.

Cosmic Grapes

The Cosmic Grapes is a remarkable lensed galaxy system at z=6.07, revealed by deep JWST, ALMA, and VLT/MUSE follow-up, allowing us to spatially resolve chemical enrichment, mass, and dynamics on <10 pc scales at cosmic dawn.

JWST PI

GNz7q

GNz7q is a rare hybrid system discovered at z=7.189 that bridges galaxies and quasars, providing the first glimpse of a growing black hole embedded in a dusty galaxy less than 800 million years after the Big Bang.

JWST PI

GLIMPSE-"D"

The GLIMPSE-"D" is the deep G395M follow-up program targeting a lensing cluster field, most deeply observed so far by JWST and HST to uncover the faintest and/or most distant galaxies at z>6, offering a new window onto the cosmic dawn.
