The Sizes, Shapes, and Kinematics of Early Galaxies with JWST

Explore the latest findings on early galaxy formation in this 42-minute conference talk from the Cosmic Dawn Revealed by JWST conference. Delve into the sizes, shapes, and kinematics of early galaxies as observed by the James Webb Space Telescope. Learn about the unique "stress test" these observations provide for theoretical models of galaxy formation. Gain insights into the nature of first stars, black hole seeds, and stellar populations in early galaxies. Discover how JWST data is advancing our understanding of star formation and chemical enrichment histories in the early universe. Examine the key physical processes shaping the evolution of early galaxies and their black holes. Connect the perspectives from near-field and deep field observations to form a comprehensive picture of cosmic dawn.
