Hvad?
JWST observations have led to several puzzling discoveries, including a high-redshift overabundance of bright galaxies, an overabundance of over-massive black holes before cosmic noon, and the mysterious little red dots with currently unknown nature.
Hvorfor?
Collectively, these highlight our incomplete understanding of baryonic physics regulating the formation and growth of galaxies and their supermassive black holes.
Hvordan?
I will develop an analytical parameterization of baryonic physics based on the results of hydrodynamical zoom-in and idealized simulations. To refine our theories of galaxy formation in light of these new data, I will construct the first data-driven picture of these mechanisms using the largest-ever compilation of observational data.
