Stellar Archaeology Constraints on the First Stars

Explore stellar archaeology constraints on the first stars in this 39-minute conference talk by Alex Ji from the University of Chicago. Delve into the exciting field of cosmic dawn research as part of the "Cosmic Dawn Revealed by JWST: The Physics of the First Stars, Galaxies, and Black Holes" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Discover how observations from JWST and other facilities provide a unique "stress test" for new theoretical models of galaxy formation. Learn about the nature of the first stars and black hole seeds, stellar populations in early galaxies, and the key physical processes shaping the evolution of these cosmic structures. Gain insights into connecting near-field and deep field observations to build a comprehensive understanding of the early universe. Engage with cutting-edge research that brings together theorists and observers to unravel the mysteries of cosmic dawn and the formation of the first celestial objects.
