The dawn of the first galaxies
Livia Vallini, Tanio Diaz Santos, Belen Alcalde Pampliega +55
Understanding how the first galaxies assembled their stellar mass at cosmic dawn is a central frontier of modern astrophysics. JWST has now revealed an unexpected population of ult…
ALMA2040: Understanding the Early Assembly of Galaxies - The Formation of Star-Forming Clumps and their Role in Shaping Galaxy Evolution
Anita Zanella, Andreas L. Faisst, Rodrigo Herrera-Camus +25
Astrophysics seeks to explain how galaxies form and evolve through the interplay of stars, gas, and dust. Giant molecular clouds (GMCs), the main reservoirs and sites of star forma…
Tracing small-scale structure formation through cosmic time with strong gravitational lensing: A case for a next-generation sub-millimetre/millimetre interferometer
Hannah R. Stacey, John P. McKean, Mamta Pandey-Pommier +12
The nature of dark matter and the growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) remain major open questions in modern astrophysics. Both leave a key signature in an overlapping, large…
Sub-kiloparsec Test of the Kennicutt-Schmidt Relation in a Strongly Lensed Dusty Star-Forming Galaxy at z~2.78
C. Cornil-Baïotto, J. Molina, G. Mahler +9
[abridged] Star formation is a key process driving galaxy evolution, but understanding how it proceeds within the interstellar medium (ISM) requires resolving cold molecular gas an…
