Structure and Morphology of Galaxies During Early Stages of Evolution

Explore the structure and morphology of galaxies during their early evolutionary stages in this 38-minute conference talk by Andrey Kravtsov from the University of Chicago. 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, delve into the exciting phase of cosmic dawn exploration. Gain insights into JWST's discoveries and how they provide a unique "stress test" for new theoretical models of galaxy formation. Examine key questions about the nature of first stars, black hole seeds, and stellar populations in early galaxies. Investigate star formation and chemical enrichment histories, and explore the physical processes shaping the evolution of early galaxies and their black holes. Discover how near-field and deep field observations connect to form a comprehensive picture of the early universe.
