Seeking the Growth of the First Massive Black Holes

Explore a 22-minute conference talk on the growth of the first massive black holes, presented by Alessandro Trinca from the University of Insubria. 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) in Santa Barbara, CA. Delve into the exciting phase of cosmic dawn exploration, focusing on discoveries made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Examine key questions about the nature of first stars, black hole seeds, and early galaxies. Gain insights into the star formation and chemical enrichment histories of early galaxies, and understand the physical processes shaping their evolution. Connect the perspectives from near-field and deep field observations to form a comprehensive picture of the early universe.
