We present [O_ III] 88μm observations towards four Herschel-selected dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs; log_10 μL_ IR/L_⊙ = 13.5 - 14 at z = 2.9 - 4) using the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) in Bands 9 and 10. We detect [O_ III] emission in all four targets at >3σ, finding line luminosity ratios (L_ [O_ III] / L_ IR = 10^-4.2 to 10^-3) similar to local spiral galaxies, and an order of magnitude lower when compared with local dwarf galaxies as well as high-redshift Lyman-break galaxies. Using the short-wavelength capabilities of the ACA, these observations bridge the populations of galaxies with [O_ III] emission at low redshift from space missions and at high redshift from ground-based studies. The difference in [O_ III] emission between these DSFGs and other high-redshift galaxies reflects their more evolved stellar populations (> 10 Myr), larger dust reservoirs (M_ dust ∼ 10^9 - 11 M_⊙), metal-rich interstellar medium (Z ∼ 0.5 - 2 Z_⊙), and likely weaker ionization radiation fields. Ancillary [C_ II] emission on two targets provide L_[ O_ III] / L_[ C_ II] ratios at 0.3 - 0.9, suggesting that ionized gas represents a smaller fraction of the total gas reservoir in DSFGs, consistent with theoretical models of DSFGs as transitional systems between gas-rich, turbulent disks and more evolved, gas-poor galaxies. Expanding samples of DSFGs with [O_ III] emission will be key to place this heterogeneous, poorly-understood galactic phase in its astrophysical context.
The search for dark matter has been ongoing for decades within both astrophysics and particle physics. Both fields have employed different approaches and conceived a variety of methods for constraining the properties of dark matter, but have done so in relative isolation of one another. From an astronomer’s perspective, it can be challenging to interpret the results of dark matter particle physics experiments and how these results apply to astrophysical scales. Over the past few years, the ESCAPE Dark Matter Test Science Project has been developing tools to aid the particle physics community in constraining dark matter properties; however, ESCAPE itself also aims to foster collaborations between research disciplines. This is especially important in the search for dark matter, as while particle physics is concerned with detecting the particles themselves, all of the evidence for its existence lies solely within astrophysics and cosmology. Here, we present a short review of the progress made by the Dark Matter Test Science Project and their applications to existing experiments, with a view towards how this project can foster complementarity with astrophysical observations.
We present [Oiii] 88 mu m observations towards four Herschel-selected dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs; log(10) mu L-IR /L-circle dot = 13 . 5-14 at z = 2 . 9-4 ) using the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) in Bands 9 and 10. We detect [O iii ] emission in all four targets at > 3 sigma, finding line luminosity ratios (L-[OIII] /L-IR = 10(-4.2) to 10(-3)) similar to local spiral galaxies, and an order of magnitude lower when compared with local dwarf galaxies as well as high-redshift Lyman-break galaxies. Using the short-wavelength capabilities of the ACA, these observations bridge the populations of galaxies with [Oiii] emission at low redshift from space missions and at high redshift from ground-based studies. The difference in [Oiii] emission between these DSFGs and other high-redshift galaxies reflects their more evolved stellar populations ( > 10 Myr), larger dust reservoirs (M-dust similar to 10(9)-11 M-circle dot), metal-rich interstellar medium ( Z similar to 0.5-2 Z(circle dot)), and likelyweaker ionization radiation fields. Ancillary [Cii ] emission on two targets provide L-[O iii ] /L-[C ii ] ratios at 0.3-0.9, suggesting that ionized gas represents a smaller fraction of the total gas reservoir in DSFGs, consistent with theoretical models of DSFGs as transitional systems between gas-rich, turbulent disks and more evolved, gas-poor galaxies. Expanding samples of DSFGs with [Oiii] emission will be key to place this heterogeneous, poorly understood galactic phase in its astrophysical context.
Massive, star-forming clumps are regions of intensive star-formation that are commonly observed in high-redshift (z > 1) galaxies. Observations of low-redshift clumpy galaxy analogues are rare but the availability of wide-field galaxy survey data makes the detection of large clumpy galaxy samples much more feasible. We present a population of 12,790 star-forming clumps detected in a mass-complete sample of 5,395 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at redshifts z≤0.32, located in the XMM-LSS, E-COSMOS and DEEP2-3 fields observed by the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Survey (HSC-SSP) and CFHT Large Area U-band Deep Survey (CLAUDS). The clumps were detected using an improved version of our Deep Learning (DL)-based object detection framework which uses the ZOOBOT foundation DL-model as a 'backbone' feature extractor. We determined the fraction of star-forming galaxies hosting at least one off-centre clump (f_clumpy) based on a clump definition that requires a clump-galaxy flux ratio in the CLAUDS u-band of ≥8%. We estimate f_clumpy to decrease from ∼31% at z∼0.3 to ∼23% at z ∼ 0.1, which aligns well with a low-redshift extrapolation of the clumpy fraction that is measured using high-redshift observations. At fixed redshift, f_clumpy is negatively correlated with the stellar mass and positively correlated with the specific star-formation rate (sSFR) of the host galaxies. When the clump definition is changed to include only clumps with a stellar mass of M_cl≥ 10^7 M_⊙, we observe a highly increased clumpy fraction of ∼60% that tends to increase with the stellar mass of the host galaxies but does not show a dependence on the sSFR of the host galaxies.
Giant Star-forming Clumps (GSFCs) are kpc-scale regions of enhanced star-formation with stellar masses of 10^7 to 10^9 M_⊙ that are commonly observed in high-redshift galaxies but are rarely detected in low-redshift (z≲0.5) galaxy analogues. However, the availability of wide-field galaxy survey data makes it possible to identify potential star-forming clumps in large samples of low-redshift galaxies using object detection models that are based on Deep Learning (DL) techniques. We apply a novel DL-based object detection model to galaxies observed by the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Survey (HSC-SSP) and CFHT Large Area U-band Deep Survey (CLAUDS). Our model is based on the the Faster Region-Based Convolutional Neural Network (Faster R-CNN or FRCNN) object detection framework but expanded to process the six ugrizy filter band images simultaneously and identify not only clumps and their locations in the host galaxy but also additional contaminants. By adopting the Zoobot foundation DL-model as a feature extraction backbone, we also demonstrate one of the first applications of Zoobot in a downstream task for object detection. Our model achieves a detection completeness of ≳ 0.9 and purity of ≳ 0.8 which were validated on a large set of real galaxies into which simulated clumps were injected.
Aims. Dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) dominate the far-infrared (FIR) and sub-millimetre (sub-mm) number counts, but singledish surveys at these wavelengths suffer from poor angular resolution, making identifications of multi-wavelength counterparts difficult. Prior driven deblending techniques require extensive fine-tuning and struggle to process large fields. This work aims to develop a fast and reliable deep-learning-based deconvolution and denoising super-resolution (SR) technique. Methods. We employed a transformer neural network to improve the resolution of the Herschel /SPIRE 500 µm observations by a factor of 4.5, with input comprised of Spitzer /MIPS 24µm and Herschel /SPIRE 250, 350, 500 µm images. The network was trained on simulations from SIDES and SHARK. To mimic realistic observations, we injected instrumental noise into the input simulated images, while keeping the target images noise-free to enhance the de-noising capabilities of our method. We evaluated the performance of our method on simulated test sets and real JCMT/SCUBA-2 450 µm observations in the COSMOS field that have a superior resolution compared to Herschel . Results. Our SR method achieves an inference time of ∼1 s/deg 2 on consumer-grade GPUs, which is much faster than traditional deblending techniques. Using the simulation test sets, we show that fluxes of the extracted sources from the super-resolved image are accurate to within 5% for sources with an intrinsic flux ≳8 mJy, which is a substantial improvement compared to blind extraction on the native images. Astrometric error is low, at ≲1″ compared to the 12″ pixel scale. In terms of reliability and completeness, ≳90% of the extracted sources brighter than ∼3 mJy are reliable and more than 90% of the input sources with intrinsic fluxes ≳5 mJy are recovered. When applied to the real 500 µm observations, the fluxes of the extracted sources from the super-resolved map agree well with the SCUBA-2 measured fluxes (after converting the 450 µm fluxes to 500 µm using a correction factor of 0.84) for sources above ∼10 mJy. Our 500 µm number counts are also consistent with previous SCUBA-2 measurements. Thanks to its speed, our technique enables SR over hundreds of deg 2 without the need for fine-tuning, facilitating statistical analysis of DSFGs.
Despite the implied presence of dust through reddened UV emission in high-redshift galaxies, no dust emission has been detected in the (sub)millimetre regime beyond z > 8 . 3. This study combines around 200 h of Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) and Northern Extended Millimetre Array (NOEMA) observations on 10 z > 8 galaxies, revealing no significant dust emission down to a 1 Q of 2.0, 2.0, and 1 . 5 at rest-frame 158, 88 and across all the data, This constrains average dust masses to be below < 10( 5 )M(circle star) at 3 sigma and dust-to-stellar mass ratios to be below 3 . 7 x 10(-4 )(assuming T-dust = 50 K and beta(dust )= 2 . 0). Binning by redshift (8 < z < 9 . 5 and 9 . 5 < z < 15), UV-continuum slope (eUV less than or greater than -2), and stellar mass (log(10) M-*/ M-circle star less than or greater than 9) yields similarly stringent constraints. Combined with other studies, these results are consistent with inefficient dust build-up in the z > 8 Universe, likely due to inefficient supernova production, limited interstellar grain growth and/or ejection by outflows. We provide data and tools online to facilitate community-wide high-redshift dust searches.
Over the past two decades, internet-enabled citizen science research (CSR) has contributed to significant discoveries while involving millions of people in the research process. Our review highlights CSR in extragalactic radio astronomy and emphasises that such approaches will become increasingly relevant across radio astronomy in the era of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). As astronomical data volumes grow, CSR is converging with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), creating hybrid human-machine frameworks suited to big-data challenges. Two CSR platforms, Radio Galaxy Zoo and RAD@home, demonstrate success: the former excels in large-scale, web-based catalogue creation, while the latter combines structured training with collaborative discovery. Following this, we propose CSR with the SKA, namely SKA@home, with two modes: one purely web-based and the other in collaboratory mode with national training programmes. We argue that CSR can complement, and at times surpass, automated AI/ML pipelines, particularly in identifying rare, intricate, or unexpected features. Illustrative CSR discoveries include an episodic wide-angle-tailed radio galaxy, a jet-galaxy interaction, a collimated synchrotron thread, a twin-ring odd radio circle, and a large-scale shock ahead of a cluster-infalling galaxy. Consistent with the IAU's recognition of CSR as a driver of Astronomy for Development and the United Nations' affirmation of participation in science as a universal human right, both the SKA construction proposal and outreach strategies show commitment to enabling CSR with SKA. The proposed SKA@home would not only enhance the early discovery potential of SKA data but also initiate a deeper and more meaningful connection with society at large.

We present morphological classifications of over 41 000 galaxies out to z(phot) similar to 2.5 across 6 deg(2) of the Euclid Deep Field North (EDFN) from the Hawaii Twenty Square Degree (H20) survey, a part of the wider Cosmic Dawn survey. Galaxy Zoo citizen scientists play a crucial role in the examination of large astronomical data sets through crowdsourced data mining of extragalactic imaging. This iteration, Galaxy Zoo: Cosmic Dawn (GZCD), saw tens of thousands of volunteers and the deep learning foundation model Zoobot collectively classify objects in ultra-deep multiband Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) imaging down to a depth of m(HSC-i) = 21.5. Here, we present the details and general analysis of this iteration, including the use of Zoobot in an active learning cycle to improve both model performance and volunteer experience, as well as the discovery of 51 new gravitational lenses in the EDFN. We also announce the public data release of the classifications for over 45 000 subjects, including more than 41 000 galaxies (median z(phot) of 0.4 +/- 0.23), along with their associated image cut-outs. This data set provides a valuable opportunity for follow-up imaging of objects in the EDFN as well as acting as a truth set for training deep learning models for application to ground-based surveys like that of the Ultraviolet Near-Infrared Optical Northern Survey (UNIONS) collaboration and the newly operational Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
The Euclid Early Release Observations (ERO) showcase Euclid's capabilities in advance of its main mission by targeting 17 astronomical objects, including galaxy clusters, nearby galaxies, globular clusters, and star-forming regions. A total of 24 hours of observing time was allocated in the early months of operation, and the scientific community was engaged through an early public data release. We describe the development of the ERO pipeline to create visually compelling images while simultaneously meeting the scientific demands within months of launch by leveraging a pragmatic data-driven development strategy. The pipeline's key requirements are to preserve the image quality and to provide flux calibration and photometry for compact and extended sources. The pipeline's five pillars are removal of instrumental signatures, astrometric calibration, photometric calibration, image stacking, and the production of science-ready catalogues for both the VIS and NISP instruments. We report a point spread function (PSF) with a full width at half maximum of 0.'' 16 in the optical I-E-band and 0.'' 49 in the near-infrared (NIR) bands Y-E, J(E), and H-E. Our VIS mean absolute flux calibration is accurate to about 1%, and the accuracy is 10% for NISP due to a limited calibration set; both instruments have considerable colour terms for individual sources. The median depth is 25.3 and 23.2 AB mag with a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of ten for galaxies, while it is 27.1 and 24.5 AB mag at an S/N of five for point sources for VIS and NISP, respectively. Euclid's ability to observe diffuse emission is exceptional due to its extended PSF nearly matching a pure diffraction halo, the best ever achieved by a wide-field high-resolution imaging telescope. Euclid offers unparalleled capabilities for exploring the low-surface brightness (LSB) Universe across all scales, providing high precision within a wide field of view (FoV), and opening a new observational window in the NIR. Median surface-brightness levels of 29.5 and 27.9, AB mag arcsec(-2) are achieved for VIS and NISP, respectively, for detecting a 10 '' x 10 '' extended feature at the 1 sigma level.
This paper presents a search for high redshift galaxies from the Euclid Early Release Observations program `Magnifying Lens.' The 1.5\,$ area covered by the twin Abell lensing cluster fields is comparable in size to the few other deep near-infrared surveys such as COSMOS, and so provides an opportunity to significantly increase known samples of rare UV-bright galaxies at $z UV Beyond their still uncertain role in reionisation, these UV-bright galaxies are ideal laboratories from which to study galaxy formation and constrain the bright-end of the UV luminosity function. Of the sources detected from a combined and NISP detection image, 168 do not have any appreciable VIS/ flux. These objects span a range in spectral colours, separated into two classes: 139 extremely red sources; and 29 Lyman-break galaxy candidates. Best-fit redshifts and spectral templates suggest the former is composed of both $z dusty star-forming galaxies and $z quiescent systems. The latter is composed of more homogeneous Lyman-break galaxies at $z In both cases, contamination by L- and T-type dwarfs cannot be ruled out with images alone. Additional contamination from instrumental persistence is investigated using a novel time series analysis. This work lays the foundation for future searches within the Euclid Deep Fields, where thousands more $z Lyman-break systems and extremely red sources will be identified.
Studying the environments of dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) provides insight into whether these luminous systems are reliable signposts of large-scale overdensities. Evidence suggests that individual DSFGs can trace overdense environments, although this association may not be universal. To test this, we investigate the environments surrounding two luminous, gravitationally-lensed DSFGs (SDP.17b at z_spec = 2.3049 and HELMS-55 at z_spec = 2.2834). Using Gemini South Flamingos-2 (F2) K_s-band imaging together with ancillary Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam and Hubble Space Telescope multi-band photometry, we obtain photometric redshifts, z_phot, as well as star formation rates and stellar mass estimates for companion galaxies of the DSFGs. At least 5±2 and 15±3 companion galaxies exist with consistent z_phot (dz ≤ 0.2) within a projected separation of 5.5 cMpc of SDP.17b and HELMS-55, respectively. These correspond to galaxy overdensities of δ= 0.1 ± 0.2 and δ =1.0 ± 0.3, with significances of (0.2 ± 0.4)σ and (2.2 ± 0.6) σ, respectively. On the M_ H_2-overdensity-significance plane, HELMS-55 may follow the positive correlation between the gas mass and the overdensity significance, while SDP.17b lies well above the relation despite its large gas reservoir, making it a potential outlier. Based on this study of two DSFGs, our photometric analysis suggests that DSFGs can trace the outskirts of protoclusters or associated large-scale structures. However, our small sample prevents firm conclusions about their ability to pinpoint dense cluster cores. Future multi-object spectroscopic observations are required to confirm the membership and star formation properties of the companion galaxies.

We present the first analysis of the Early Release Observations (ERO) program that targets fields around two lensing clusters, Abell 2390 and Abell 2764. We use imaging data from the Visible instrument (VIS) and the Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) to produce photometric catalogs for a total of $ 500\,000$ objects. The imaging data reach a typical depth of $5\ in the range 25.1--25.4 AB in the NISP bands and 27.1--27.3 AB in the VIS band. Using the Lyman-break method in combination with photometric redshifts, we searched for high-redshift galaxies. We identified $30$ Lyman-break galaxy (LBG) candidates at $z>6$ and 139 extremely red sources (ERSs), most of which likely lie at lower redshift. The VIS imaging is deeper than the NISP imaging, which means that we can routinely identify high-redshift Lyman-break galaxies at about a magnitude of 3, which reduces contamination by brown dwarf stars and low-redshift galaxies. The difficulty of spatially resolving most of these sources in 0 $ imaging means that it is difficult to distinguish between galaxies and quasars. Spectroscopic follow-up campaigns of these bright sources will help us to constrain the bright end of the ultraviolet galaxy luminosity function and the quasar luminosity function at $z>6$, and it will constrain the physical nature of these objects. Additionally, we performed a combined strong- and weak-lensing analysis of A2390, and we show that will contribute to constraining the virial mass of galaxy clusters better. We also identify optical and near-infrared counterparts of known $z>0.6$ clusters in these data. These counterparts exhibit strong-lensing features. This establishes that can characterize high-redshift clusters. Finally, we provide a glimpse of the ability of to map the intracluster light out to larger radii than current facilities, which enables us to understand the cluster assembly history better and to map the dark matter distribution. This initial dataset illustrates the diverse spectrum of legacy science that is possible with the survey.
Like many areas of astrophysics and cosmology, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will be transformational for almost all the applications of strong lensing, thanks to the dramatic increase in the number of known strong lenses by two orders of magnitude or more and the readily available time-domain data for the lenses with transient sources. In this article, we provide an overview of the forecasted number of discovered lenses of different types and describe the primary science cases these large lens samples will enable. We provide an updated forecast on the joint constraint for the dark energy equation-of-state parameters, w_0 and w_a, from combining all strong lensing probes of dark energy. We update the previous forecast from the Rubin Observatory Dark Energy Science Collaboration's Science Review Document by adding two new crucial strong lensing samples: lensed Type Ia supernovae and single-deflector lenses with measured stellar kinematics. Finally, we describe the current and near-future activities and collaborative efforts within the strong lensing community in preparation for the arrival of the first real dataset from Rubin in early 2026.
We present predictions of the number and properties of strongly-lensed submillimetre galaxies, based on an adaption of the physically-motivated LensPop model covering galaxy-galaxy strong lensing by elliptical galaxies, which successfully predicted optical and near-infrared lenses. For submillimetre-luminous lensed galaxies, the most efficient observational selection identifies sources with high fluxes (S500um > 80 mJy), where lensed sources outnumber bright unlensed sources; several hundred candidates from Herschel surveys have been identified, and confirmed by follow-up observations. We have tested our model against these observations. The model predicts an all-sky number density of 0.09+/-0.05 deg-2 (in absolute numbers, 3,600+/-1,800) of bright lensed galaxies detectable by this method. Observations show considerable variation in sky density between fields, 0.08 - 0.31 deg-2. Predictions of redshift and magnification distributions are comparable to observations, although the model appears to under-predict lenses at the highest magnifications ( > 20). We predict that the apparent AB magnitudes at visible wavelengths of the foreground lenses will be as faint as 28, whereas observations typically reach ~ 23, implying that some apparently unlensed bright submillimetre galaxies may have lensing galaxies below this detection limit. For fainter lensed galaxies, the model predicts over 130,000 systems with flux S500um > 10 mJy across the sky, of which ~ 3,400 remain be be discovered in the Herschel catalogues. We also predict that Euclid should be able to detect some 25,000 lensed submillimetre galaxies that are VIS-band 'dropouts' - detectable in the near-infrared but not at optical wavelengths.
The current standard model of cosmology successfully describes a variety of measurements, but the nature of its main ingredients, dark matter and dark energy, remains unknown. Euclid is a medium-class mission in the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) that will provide high-resolution optical imaging, as well as near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy, over about 14,000 deg^2 of extragalactic sky. In addition to accurate weak lensing and clustering measurements that probe structure formation over half of the age of the Universe, its primary probes for cosmology, these exquisite data will enable a wide range of science. This paper provides a high-level overview of the mission, summarising the survey characteristics, the various data-processing steps, and data products. We also highlight the main science objectives and expected performance.
We investigated the ability of the Euclid telescope to detect galaxy-scale gravitational lenses. To do so, we performed a systematic visual inspection of the 0.7 deg(2) Euclid Early Release Observations data towards the Perseus cluster using both the high-resolution IE band and the lower-resolution Y-E, J(E), and H-E bands. Each extended source brighter than magnitude 23 in I-E was inspected by 41 expert human classifiers. This amounts to 12086 stamps of 10 '' x 10 ''. We found 3 grade A and 13 grade B candidates. We assessed the validity of these 16 candidates by modelling them and checking that they are consistent with a single source lensed by a plausible mass distribution. Five of the candidates pass this check, five others are rejected by the modelling, and six are inconclusive. Extrapolating from the five successfully modelled candidates, we infer that the full 14 000 deg(2) of the Euclid Wide Survey should contain 100 000( -30 000)(+70 000) galaxy-galaxy lenses that are both discoverable through visual inspection and have valid lens models. This is consistent with theoretical forecasts of 170 000 discoverable galaxy-galaxy lenses in Euclid. Our five modelled lenses have Einstein radii in the range 0.'' 68 < theta(E)< 1.'' 24, but their Einstein radius distribution is on the higher side when compared to theoretical forecasts. This suggests that our methodology is likely missing small-Einstein-radius systems. Whilst it is implausible to visually inspect the full Euclid dataset, our results corroborate the promise that Euclid will ultimately deliver a sample of around 105 galaxy-scale lenses.
The measurements of the number density of galaxy–galaxy strong lenses can be used to put statistical constraints on the foreground mass distributions. Dusty galaxies uncovered in submillimeter surveys are particularly useful in this regard because of the large volume probed by these surveys. Previous discoveries of strong galaxy–galaxy lensed dusty galaxies are predominantly the brightest in the sky discovered by Herschel, South Pole Telescope, and Planck. However, models have also predicted a nonnegligible fraction of strong galaxy–galaxy lensed faint dusty galaxies, which were difficult to confirm due to technical difficulties. Utilizing the deepest SCUBA-2 submillimeter survey, STUDIES, in both the COSMOS and the Ultra Deep Survey fields, together with a red JWST color selection method, we discover a population of 13 strong galaxy–galaxy lensed faint dusty galaxies. The rich ancillary data allow us to confirm their strongly lensed nature via estimates of redshifts and lens modeling. Our systematic search has allowed us to construct the 450 μ m number counts of strongly lensed sources down to the flux levels about an order of magnitude fainter than previous measurements. The measured lensing fractions of ∼1% are consistent with predictions from models that also successfully produce the number density of the strong galaxy–galaxy lensed bright dusty galaxies. Future searches from Euclid and Roman are expected to discover orders of magnitude more strongly lensed faint dusty galaxies.
