Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in Universe, comprising thousands of galaxies and pervaded by a diffuse, hot ``intracluster medium'' (ICM) that dominates baryonic content these systems. The formation evolution ICM across cosmic time is thought to be driven continuous accretion matter from large-scale filamentary surroundings dramatic merger events with other or groups. Until now, however, direct observations intracluster gas have been limited only mature...

Spatially resolved studies of the kinematics galaxies provide crucial insights into their assembly and evolution, enabling one to infer properties dark matter halos, derive impact feedback on interstellar medium (ISM), as well measure characterize outflow motions. To date, most kinematic at z = 0.5 − 3.5 have been obtained using emission lines tracing warm, ionized gas (e.g., H α , [OII], [OIII]).

Photometric redshifts are widely used in studies of dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs), but catastrophic photo-$z$ failure can undermine all redshift-dependent results. Here we report the spectroscopic redshift confirmation COSBO-7, a strongly lensed DSFG COSMOS-PRIMER field. Recently, photometric solution $z\gtrsim7.0$ was reported for COSBO-7 based on ten bands {\it James Webb} Space Telescope (JWST) NIRCam and MIRI imaging data. This $z$ value favored by four independent spectral energy...
