Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Overview
Explore insights into black hole growth in the early universe through a 17-minute conference talk delivered by Dale Kocevski from Colby College. 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 (KITP), this presentation delves into the latest discoveries made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Learn about the nature of the first stars and black hole seeds, the stellar populations in early galaxies, and the physical processes shaping the evolution of these cosmic structures. Gain a deeper understanding of how JWST observations are providing a unique "stress test" for theoretical models of galaxy formation and how they connect to near-field and deep field observations. Discover the exciting advancements in our exploration of cosmic dawn and the implications for our understanding of the early universe.
