A New Era for Emission-line Probes of Star-forming Galaxies back to Cosmic Dawn

Explore a 20-minute conference talk by Alice Shapley from UCLA on emission-line probes of star-forming galaxies extending back to cosmic dawn. Delve into the exciting phase of cosmic dawn exploration, focusing on new discoveries from JWST observations of the first stars, galaxies, and black holes. Gain insights into the nature of stellar populations in early galaxies, their star formation and chemical enrichment histories, and the key physical processes shaping their evolution. Understand the connection between near-field and deep field observations in this cutting-edge research. Recorded as part of the "Cosmic Dawn Revealed by JWST: The Physics of the First Stars, Galaxies, and Black Holes" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this talk brings together theoretical and observational perspectives on the early universe.
