Connecting Local Group Substructure with the First Galaxies Through Simulations
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Overview
Explore a conference talk on connecting Local Group substructure with the first galaxies through simulations. Delivered by Jenna Samuel from UT Austin at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this 19-minute presentation is part of the "Cosmic Dawn Revealed by JWST" conference. Dive into the exciting exploration of cosmic dawn, examining how JWST observations of first stars, galaxies, and black holes provide a unique "stress test" for new theoretical models of galaxy formation. Discover insights on key questions such as the nature of first stars and black hole seeds, stellar populations in early galaxies, and the connection between near-field and deep field observations. Gain valuable knowledge on star formation and chemical enrichment histories of early galaxies, as well as the physical processes shaping their evolution.
