Galactic Paleontology with JWST: Finding Living Fossils in the Ancient Universe
The James Webb Space Telescope lets us explore the farthest reaches of the universe, but you don't have to travel far for this lecture. Guests can attend at either Caltech's Beckman Auditorium, or from the comforts of their own home.
Since it began its scientific mission in July 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided the first detailed glimpses of the most distant reaches of the observable universe, when the first galaxies were emerging more than 13 billion years ago. History suggests that opening new observational windows leads to entirely unanticipated discoveries, and JWST has already begun to fulfill that promise.
In this lecture, Professor Chuck Steidel explores what enables the unprecedented power of JWST for studying galaxy formation in its infancy and what we can expect to learn from JWST images and spectra over the next several years.
This lecture is presented in a hybrid format, allowing for both virtual viewers and in-person attendees. No advance registration is required for either format but guests may sign up for reminders about this event.
The lecture is presented at 7:30pm Pacific (9:30pm Central, 10:30pm Eastern).
