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.
