JWST's PEARLS: resolved study of the stellar and dust components in starburst galaxies at cosmic noon

Understand

Dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) contribute significantly to the stellar buildup at cosmic noon.

• Major mergers and gas accretion are often invoked to explain DSFGs' prodigious star-formation rates (SFRs) and large stellar masses.
• We conducted a spatially-resolved morphological analysis of the rest-frame UV/NIR emission in three DSFGs at z~2.5.
• Initially discovered as CO emitters by NOEMA observations of a bright Herschel source, we observed them with the JWST/NIRCam as part of the PEARLS program.
