Wednesday 19th June at 3.45pm, C12 Physics – Astronomy Seminar
Adam Carnall (Edinburgh)
The Origins of Massive Galaxies

Since its launch in December 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope has begun to deliver on its promise of revolutionising our understanding of the first billion years of cosmic history. In this seminar I will review the progress that has been made in understanding the earliest stages of massive galaxy formation, from the first seeds at z=12-14, through to the first massive objects and luminous AGN at z~10, and the first quiescent systems at z~5.

Tom de Lisle

Investigating Post-Starburst Galaxies with JWST: The Missing Link?



I will present new ultra-deep imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which we are using to answer the question of how and why star formation shuts off in galaxies. To do this, we study a class of galaxies that recently underwent this transformation, known as post-starburst galaxies (PSBs). Previous research has found an excess of low mass PSBs at z < 1.5, believed to be caused by environmental quenching, however this excess has yet to be seen at higher redshifts. With the increased depth of JWST, we can extend our analysis to unprecedentedly lower masses across cosmic time, allowing us to determine whether the upturn at the low mass end of the PSB mass function occurs exclusively at lower redshifts. In this talk I will present preliminary mass functions made using JWST data for star-forming, quiescent and PSB populations, in addition to exploring what this could mean for the quenching routes and timescales of PSBs.
