The Extreme Environments of Luminous Quasars at z~6
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the extreme environments of luminous quasars at redshift z~6 in this 19-minute conference talk by Anna Christina Eilers from MIT. 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 cutting-edge research on early universe quasars. Gain insights into the nature of first stars, black hole seeds, and the evolution of early galaxies. Discover how JWST observations are revolutionizing our understanding of cosmic dawn and providing crucial tests for theoretical models of galaxy formation. Learn about the connections between near-field and deep field observations, and explore the star formation and chemical enrichment histories of the earliest galaxies in the universe.
