Probing the ISM at Cosmic Dawn: Insights from Observations and Simulations

Explore the interstellar medium (ISM) during the cosmic dawn era through a 20-minute conference talk delivered by Harley Katz from the University of Chicago. Delve into cutting-edge observations and simulations that provide insights into the early universe. 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 presentation contributes to discussions on key questions surrounding the nature of first stars, galaxies, and black holes. Gain valuable knowledge about the latest discoveries from JWST and their implications for theoretical models of galaxy formation. Examine the star formation and chemical enrichment histories of early galaxies, and understand the physical processes shaping their evolution. Connect the findings from near-field and deep field observations to form a comprehensive picture of the cosmic dawn era.
