You are all invited to participate in the BiCoQ seminar “Unveiling the emergence of first galaxies and supermassive black holes with cosmological simulations in the JWST era“
Speaker: Professor Debora Sijacki (University of Cambridge, UK)
Abstract: In this talk I will review the state-of-the-art in our theoretical efforts to understand the physics governing the evolution of the very first cosmic structures from the time of the `Dark Ages’. I will discuss the complex interplay of galaxies and supermassive black holes in the early Universe, from the formation of dwarf galaxies hosting perhaps the elusive intermediate mass black holes, to the most massive proto-clusters harbouring ‘gargantuan’ black holes. I will emphasize what we can learn from the latest cosmological simulations of these objects in conjunction with the incoming JWST data. Finally, I will also discuss synergies of JWST with other upcoming space missions, such as Athena and LISA, which will fully unlock the multi-messenger view of our Universe.
