About Me
Hi, my name is Pablo. I am an astrophysicist from a wonderful city in the southern coastline of Spain called Málaga, currently living in Washington DC, where I work for the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).My scientific research is mainly focused on the study of galaxy formation and evolution in the very early Universe, for which I use the NASA/ESA/CSA's James Webb Space Telescope, whose unmatched capabilities allow me to analyze some of the most distant galaxies observed to date.Apart from a cosmos wonderer, I am also a persistent lifter, an avid reader, a board games enthusiast and a relentless optimistic.
Sobre mí
Hola, soy Pablo, un astrofísico procedente de una maravillosa ciudad en la costa sur de España llamada Málaga, actualmente viviendo en Washington DC, donde trabajo para el Centro de Vuelo Espacial Goddard (GSFC) de la NASA.Mi trabajo de investigación está fundamentalmente enfocado en el estudio de la formación y evolución de galaxias en el universo primitivo, para lo cual utilizo el telescopio espacial NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb, cuyas inigualables características me permiten analizar algunas de las galaxias más lejanas observadas hasta la fecha.Aparte de un curioso del cosmos, también soy un persistente levantador de pesas, un ávido lector, un entusiasta de los juegos de mesa y un optimista sin remedio.
Research
My scientific interests span a large variety of topics related with galaxy formation and evolution, protoclusters and structure formation, stellar population modeling, machine learning, data reduction, etc. But my recent work has been especially dedicated to the spectroscopic analysis of ultradistant galaxies in the very early Universe, many of them never seen before until the advent of the JWST.A large fraction of my recent scientific studies have been carried out in the frame of the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) project, one of the very first surveys of the deep universe observed with the JWST, for which I have lead the spectroscopic efforts with the NIRSpec instrument. Along the way we have provided pre-launch simulations, scientific products and tools to help the community with the data processing.Apart from my close involvement in CEERS, I am also the principal investigator of two other programs executed during the first year of observations with the JWST: one aiming to confirm some of the most promising ultradistant candidates found in the first deep imaging data, and another to study environmental effects on the largest observed galaxy overdensity at the end of the Epoch of Reionization.Among the most interesting results from my research is the confirmation of the first bright ultradistant galaxies at z > 11, including Maisie's Galaxy, only 390 million years after the Big Bang, when the Universe was less than 3% of its current age. It is important to make clear that there were already three more distant galaxies confirmed back then, but those in our work were the most distant bright (MUV < -20 AB) galaxies confirmed at the time. Additionally, our sample represented an important milestone, as one of the most surprising results found in the first JWST deep images is the overabundance of these bright ultradistant candidates, in stark disagreement with the predictions from the pre-JWST galaxy evolution models for the very early Universe.Moreover, in that same work we also refuted CEERS-93316, a very bright and controversial z ~ 16 candidate that would have set a new redshift record by a large margin and would have represented a serious challenge for our models to explain. We instead found that the object was at z = 4.912, an epoch a thousand million years later than the originally predicted based on the imaging data only. We showed that, under peculiar circumstances (including a combination of strong reddening and emission lines at that specific redshift), that source mimics the emission pattern of an ultradistant galaxy in the imaging data. This finding was very educational as it made the high-z community aware of the existence of this rare but possible type of interlopers at very high redshifts.
Investigación
Mis intereses científicos abarcan una gran variedad de materias relacionadas con la formación y evolución de galaxias, protocúmulos y formación de estructuras, ajuste de poblaciones estelares, machine learning, reducción de datos, etc. Pero mi trabajo reciente ha estado especialmente dedicado al análisis espectroscópico de galaxias ultralejanas en el universo muy temprano, muchas de ellas nunca vistas antes hasta la llegada del JWST.Gran parte de mis estudios recientes han sido llevados a cabo en el marco del proyecto CEERS (Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science), uno de los primerísimos cartografiados del universo profundo observados con el JWST, para el cual he liderado los esfuerzos dedicados a la espectroscopía con el instrumento NIRSpec. Durante este proceso hemos proporcionado simulaciones, productos científicos y herramientas para ayudar a la comunidad con el procesamiento de datos.Aparte de mi fuerte implicación en CEERS, también soy el investigador principal de otros dos programas ejecutados durante el primer año de observaciones con el JWST: uno enfocado a intentar confirmar algunos de los candidatos más prometedores a galaxias ultralejanas en los primeros datos de imagen profunda, y otro para estudiar los efectos del ambiente en el mayor protocúmulo de galaxias observado al final de la Era de la Reionización.Entre los resultados más interesantes de mi investigación cabe destacar la confirmación de las primeras galaxias ultralejanas brillantes a z > 11, incluyendo Maisie's Galaxy, tan solo 390 millones de años después del Big Bang, cuando el universo tenía menos de un 3% de su edad actual. Es importante aclarar que ya había tres galaxias más lejanas confirmadas en ese momento, pero las presentadas en nuestro trabajo eran las galaxias más lejanas brillantes (MUV < -20 AB) y representaron un hito importante debido a que uno de los resultados más sorprendentes encontrados en las primeras imágenes profundas de JWST es la sobreabundancia de candidatos a galaxias brillantes ultralejanas, en desacuerdo con las predicciones para el universo primitivo de los modelos de evolución de galaxias pre-JWST.Además, en ese mismo trabajo también refutamos el objeto CEERS-93316, un controvertido candidato a z ~ 16 muy brillante que habría batido el récord de desplazamiento al rojo por mucho y habría supuesto un desafío serio para poder explicar su existencia dentro de nuestros modelos. En su lugar, nosotros encontramos que el objeto está realmente a z = 4.912, una época mil millones de años posterior a la originalmente predicha basándose solo en los datos de imagen. En nuestro trabajo mostramos que, bajo circustancias muy particulares (incluyendo la combinación de un fuerte enrojecimiento por polvo y fuertes líneas de emisión a ese desplazamiento al rojo en concreto), esta fuente imita el patrón de emisión de una galaxia ultralejana en los datos de imagen. Este hallazgo fue muy educativo, puesto que puso a la comunidad de alto z sobre aviso acerca de la existencia de este raro pero posible tipo de objetos intrusos en las muestras a muy alto desplazamiento al rojo.
