The First Photometric Evidence of a Transient/Variable Source at z > 5 with JWST

The First Photometric Evidence of a Transient/Variable Source at z > 5 with JWST

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered 79 transients out to z ∼ 4.8 through the JADES Transient Survey (JTS), but the JTS did not find any z > 5 transients. We present the first photometric evidence of a z > 5 transient/variable source with JWST. The source, AT 2023adya, resides in a...
