Lensed object overlaps in JADES5 survay

Looking at the JADES5 survey this galaxy has a good gravitational lens I thought is was at a higher z value but it appears to only be at about z = 1.

See the JADES5 survey image here.

I don’t think that’s the right object you’re looking at – I wouldn’t expect to be able to see a z=14 object in our relatively shallow visible-light images.

That’s what I thought too, but no question it is the correct object. Not all the objects in that image are z = 14. Only the faintest objects there are z = 14. The one I am looking at is z = 1. So it is much closer. I have numbered 10 objects in the field so you can see them for yourself.

First go to

https://www.legacysurvey.org//viewer/?ra=53.1307&dec=-27.8888&layer=ls-dr9&zoom=16

Change the contrast to 1.3 and the brightness to 1.6 as is shown in the first image the brightest star I have labeled #1 for reference.

Then here are those same 10 numbered objects from the JADES5 image compared to the same 10 objects in the Legacy Survey image of the JADES5 field.

Pretty cool huh! So now you can now check and see that some of the foreground objects are at z~1.

Enjoy!

Ahh, I mis-read your message :slight_smile:

Yeah, I guess it would help if I wrote clearer the first time lol.

From the Jades5 field the lens is easier to see. I am actually not certain that it is a lens, but it looks like it. Here is a close up from the JWST.
