Surveying Galaxies and Their Environments at Cosmic Dawn in the JWST Era

Explore the latest discoveries in cosmic dawn research through this 35-minute conference talk by Mark Dickinson from NOIRLab. Delve into the surveying of galaxies and their environments during the early universe, with a focus on insights gained from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Learn about the exciting advancements in understanding the first stars, galaxies, and black holes, and how JWST observations are challenging theoretical models of galaxy formation. Gain insights into key questions surrounding the nature of stellar populations in early galaxies, star formation and chemical enrichment histories, and the physical processes shaping galaxy and black hole evolution. Discover how researchers are connecting near-field and deep field observations to paint a comprehensive picture of the cosmic dawn era.
