Abstract:
We report the discovery of 17 transient sources likely at redshifts z = 0.520-2.325, each discovered in the GOODS-North (GOODS-N) field using the 9-band JWST/NIRCam imaging data obtained by the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). These transients appear as point sources in the NIRCam Short-Wavelength (SW) images but are not seen in any of the archived GOODS-S HST images over the same wavelength range.

The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) obtained Cycle-1 NIRCam images of the GOODS-N field using 4 short-wavelength (SW) filters (F090W, F115W, F150W, and F200W) and 5 long-wavelength (LW) filters (F277W, F335M, F356W, F410M, and F444W). The data were taken February 3-7, 2023. Seventeen transients were detected with the data set with respect to the GOODS-N HST mosaic images (v2.5) distributed by the Hubble Legacy Fields (HLF) project (https://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/hlf).  The transients were discovered via either visual inspection or PSF-matched image subtraction. Below we list the position, photometry and redshift information for each of these sources. The information on the host galaxies were obtained either from NED, SIMBAD, or SED modeling using the code EAZY (Brammer et al. 2008) or BAGPIPES (Carnall et al. 2018), and all the reported magnitudes are in AB. We attempted to classify each transient using the model fittiing feature of the open source SNCosmo package and obtained strongly-preferred models (>90% likelihood) for 5 of the transients.
