Galaxies in the early universe with the James Webb Space Telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest spacetelescope ever launched, and it is a giant leap forward in our quest to understand the universe. The JWST has already opened a new discovery space in extragalactic astronomy by revealing hundreds of distant galaxies rich in stars and dust. The detection of dust is particularly important, as dust grains host the production of molecular hydrogen, the primary fuel for star formation. As many of these gigantic galaxies are observed within the first 700 million years after the Big Bang, their abundance challenges theoretical models and opens many questions on the formation of matter in the early universe. In this colloquium, I will overview the first results and big science questions related to the origin of the most distant galaxies observed with JWST.
