Christa DeCoursey, on behalf of JADES report/s the discovery of a new astronomical transient.

IAU Designation: AT 2022aeiw
Discoverer internal name: jades-gs-2022e
Coordinates (J2000): RA = 03:32:37.537 (53.156404) DEC = -27:48:39.39 (-27.810942)
Discovery date: 2022-09-29 00:00:00.000 (JD=2459851.5)

Potential host galaxy: GALEXMSC J033237.52-274838.8
Host redshift: 0.665

Remarks: We report the detection of a transient in the GOODS-S field, observed by JWST NIRCam on September 29th, 2022. The candidate does not appear in the GOODS-S HST mosaic images (v2.0) distributed by the Hubble Legacy Fields (HLF) project (https://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/hlf), confirming its transient nature. The transient lies at RA 03:32:37.537, DEC -27:48:39.39, and its host galaxy is GALEXMSC J033237.52-274838.8 (z_spec = 0.665), as reported in the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database. We performed aperture photometry on the transient and measured the following AB magnitudes: F090W = 27.41 ± 0.49, F115W = 26.68 ± 0.37, F150W = 26.48 ± 0.42, F200W = 26.40 ± 0.64, F277W = 26.83 ± 1.13, F335M = 27.32 ± 1.64, F356W = 27.22 ± 1.37, F410M = 27.48 ± 1.35, and F444W = 27.59 ± 1.56.
