We report integral field spectroscopy observations with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph on board JWST targeting the 60 kpc environment surrounding the most luminous obscured quasar known at $z=4.6$. We detect ionized gas filaments on 40 kpc…

Gamma-ray bursts have the potential to produce the particle energies (up to $10^{21}$ eV) and the energy budget ($10^{44} \rm{erg yr^{-1} Mpc^{-3}}$) to accommodate the spectrum of the highest energy cosmic rays; on the other hand, there is…
