Colloquium Series: High-Redshift Galaxies and Quasars

February 17 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Abstract: This talk will present an overview of astronomical techniques for discovering and characterizing high-redshift galaxies and quasars with Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.  After describing recent highlights on galaxies and quasars at redshifts (z > 8), I will discuss the implications and applications to reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM), feedback from stars and quasars, and models for how galaxies form and grow in the first Gyr of the universe.

Speaker: Mike Shull, University of Colorado (and UNC Chapel Hill)
