The Oldest Starlight
What if some of JWST’s most extreme high-redshift galaxy candidates aren’t galaxies at all, but the explosive deaths of the very first stars?

Today we interview Dr. James Binney, a faculty at Oxford University, and a plenary speaker at #AAS247
Simulating an entire galaxy is not easy if you want your result sometime this century. But today’s paper brings us a neat trick that might just help speed things up.
Studying dwarf galaxies provides unique insights to galaxy evolution. Today’s paper explores how resolving stellar populations of isolated galaxies allows us to determine their star formation history!
These galaxies are on the brink of entering their “quiet” phase.
JWST reveals galaxies that built up heavy elements at record speed, reaching near-modern metallicities only a billion years after the Big Bang.
