我们介绍宇宙演化早期发布科学（Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science，CEERS）巡天，这是一项时长77.2小时的主任酌情时间早期发布科学计划。CEERS利用JWST仪器套件开展协调、重叠的并行观测，展示、测试并验证高效的河外巡天，观测包括NIRCam和MIRI成像、NIRSpec低分辨率（R~100）和中分辨率（R~1000）光谱，以及NIRCam无缝棱栅（R~1500）光谱。CEERS以哈勃空间望远镜观测过的Extended Groth Strip（EGS）天区为目标，并得到丰富多波段数据的支持。CEERS促进了JWST河外核心科学驱动中“第一缕光”和“星系组装”两方面的即时社区科学，包括：1）在约90角分²的NIRCam成像中发现并表征z >~ 10的大样本星系，约束其丰度和物理性质；2）获得超过1000个星系的深光谱，其中包括数十个位于6<z<10的星系，从而能够测量红移，并通过谱线诊断约束恒星形成和黑洞增长的物理条件；3）定量刻画z>3时首批核球、棒和盘结构；以及4）利用MIRI表征星系中红外辐射，以研究z~1-3时被尘埃遮蔽的恒星形成和超大质量黑洞增长。作为面向社区的遗产产品，CEERS团队已提供若干次数据发布，并附有关于数据处理流程的详细说明和帮助实现可复现性的notebooks。除巡天概览和数据质量外，我们还给出使用CEERS数据前两年的科学亮点。
英文摘要：
We present the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey, a 77.2 hour Director's Discretionary Early Release Science Program. CEERS demonstrates, tests, and validates efficient extragalactic surveys using coordinated, overlapping parallel observations with the JWST instrument suite, including NIRCam and MIRI imaging, NIRSpec low (R~100) and medium (R~1000) resolution spectroscopy, and NIRCam slitless grism (R~1500) spectroscopy. CEERS targets the Hubble Space Telescope-observed region of the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) field, supported by a rich set of multiwavelength data. CEERS facilitated immediate community science in both of the extragalactic core JWST science drivers ``First Light" and ``Galaxy Assembly," including: 1) The discovery and characterization of large samples of galaxies at z >~ 10 from ~90 arcmin^2 of NIRCam imaging, constraining their abundance and physical nature; 2) Deep spectra of >1000 galaxies, including dozens of galaxies at 6<z<10, enabling redshift measurements and constraints on the physical conditions of star-formation and black hole growth via line diagnostics; 3) Quantifying the first bulge, bar and disk structures at z>3; and 4) Characterizing galaxy mid-IR emission with MIRI to study dust-obscured star-formation and supermassive black hole growth at z~1-3. As a legacy product for the community, the CEERS team has provided several data releases, accompanied by detailed notes on the data reduction procedures and notebooks to aid in reproducibility. In addition to an overview of the survey and quality of the data, we provide science highlights from the first two years with CEERS data.

The GLASS James Webb Space Telescope Early Release Science Program. I. Survey Design and Release Plans
GLASS James Webb空间望远镜早期释放科学（以下简称GLASS-JWST-ERS）计划将获得并公开提供ERS活动的最深河外数据。它主要是为了解决两个关键的科学问题，即“什么来源电离宇宙和什么时候？重子如何在星系中循环？“，同时也使各种各样的第一眼科学调查成为可能。在主模式下，它将获得由前景哈勃前沿场星系团Abell 2744透镜的星系的NIRISS和NIRSpec光谱。与此同时，它将使用NIRCam来观察两个偏离星团中心的视场，其中透镜放大率可以忽略不计，因此可以有效地将其视为空白视场。为了让社区做好准备，以获得这一前所未有的数据，我们描述了科学原理，调查设计（包括目标选择和观测设置），并提出了预期灵敏度的预调试估计。此外，我们还介绍了计划公开发布的高级别数据产品，供更广泛的天文学界使用。

极红类星体，其热光度超过$10^{47}$ erg s $^{-1}$，是一个迷人的高红移群体，在本地宇宙中不存在。它们是超大质量黑洞以爱丁顿极限或以上的速率吸积的最佳候选者，并且它们与迄今为止已知的最快速和最强大的电离气体流出有关。它们也是大质量星系的宿主。在这里，我们提出了第一个积分场单位（IFU）的观测高红移类星体的近红外光谱仪（NIRSpec）上的詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜（JWST），目标SDSSJ 165202.64 +172852.3，一个非常红的类星体在$z=2.94$。JWST观测揭示了扩展的电离气体-如[OIII] $λ$ 5007所追踪的-在类星体的宿主星系，其流出物和环星系介质中。复杂的形态学和运动学意味着类星体居住在一个非常密集的环境中，在10-15 kpc的投影距离内有几个相互作用的同伴星系。环境的高密度和伴随星系的大速度表明，这个系统可能代表了一个正在形成的星系团的核心。该系统是两个或多个暗物质晕合并的良好候选者，每个暗物质晕的质量为几个$10^{13}$ M $_\odot$，并可能追踪到$z\sim3$处的一个暗物质结。
