Series: Astronomy Colloquium
Date: Wednesday 26-Mar-2025

Title: Studying high redshift galaxies with the James Webb Space Telescope
I will provide a brief overview of origin and status of the James Webb Space Telescope project. I will then move to describe the results we obtained on the properties of high redshift galaxies focusing in particular on the chemical abundances measured in these objects and what they tell us about their evolution. I will conclude with some considerations on the future directions of the search of primordial galaxies.
In-person colloquia are usually preceded by espresso and ice cream at 1:45 pm outside room PSC 1150 and are followed by an informal reception at 5:15 pm in that room. Anyone interested in talking with the speaker, or being added to the colloquium announcement email list, should contact the colloquium organizer Dr. Richard Mushotzky. Lunch will normally be reserved for the speaker to talk to graduate students. Anyone asking a question during a talk is asked to raise their hand and be acknowledged before speaking. Contact Dr. Richard Mushotzky for details.
