A new View of Young galaxies with ALMA and JWST
The majority of the Universe’s star formation occurred shrouded in cosmic dust, making it extremely challenging—historically—to obtain a clear view of young (z≳2) galaxy assembly. While the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) has already enabled significant progress – including pioneering work by the PI to directly image this dusty star formation in early galaxies – their existing stellar populations remain obscured. At the same time, our understanding of the molecular gas fueling that star formation is still limited to unresolved detections and/or biased tracers. Fortunately, we are on the verge of a breakthrough with the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the imminent…
