[Astro] [CAPT] Astro seminar Wed 7th May 15:45 C4 -- Jim Dunlop (Edinburgh)

[Luke Conaboy]

Hi all,

this week our seminar is given by Jim Dunlop (Edinburgh), talking about early galaxy formation and growth. The seminar will be in C4.

Post-seminar refreshments will be wine and cheese.

Timings are as usual:

- lunch at Lakeside, leaving CAPT ~13:00 (subsidised for a limited number of students -- let me know before the end of the day tomorrow)
- meet the speaker for postgrads at 15:00, finishing at 15:30
- seminar at 15:45 in C5/C4
- post-seminar wine and cheese at 16:45

This seminar will be conducted in person only.

Best,
Jesse and Luke

Charting early galaxy formation and growth with JWST and ALMA

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is transforming our view of galaxy formation and evolution in the young Universe. I will provide an overview of the latest results from the PRIMER survey, the largest JWST Cycle-1 “Galaxies” programme which, in combination with other public JWST imaging, is now enabling us to chart the emergence of the galaxy population back to within ~300 million years of the Big Bang. Specifically, I will present and discuss the first robust determination of the evolving UV galaxy luminosity function extending out to redshifts z~13, as well as new measurements of the galaxy stellar mass function reaching out to z~9. I will then interpret these results in the context of our current understanding of the evolving dark matter halo mass function and the efficiency with which galaxies are able to convert their baryons into stars. Finally, I will discuss new results on the early growth of dust-enshrouded star formation, and the prospects for future progress exploiting the combined power of JWST and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA).
