This book takes the reader on an exploration of the structure and evolution of our universe.
This book offers a succinct and accessible primer at a time when breathtaking technological advances promise a wealth of new observational data on the first stars and galaxies.
Despite its importance, observations of reionization have been few, and their interpretation has been highly controversial. Fortunately, this is rapidly changing.
In this panoramic book, Werner and Eisenhardt take readers on a breathtaking guided tour of the cosmos in the infrared, beginning in our solar system and venturing ever outward toward the distant origins of the expanding universe.
This book provides a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to one of the most exciting frontiers in astrophysics today: the quest to understand how the oldest and most distant galaxies in our universe first formed.
Incorporating the very latest research into this branch of astrophysics, this book sheds light on this time of darkness, telling the story of these first stars, hundreds of times the size of the Sun and a million times brighter, lonely ...
It is this transformation — known to astronomers as the cosmic dawn, during which the first black holes and galaxies formed — that is now one of the final, and most fundamental, frontiers of cosmology. 6.2 The Hidden Cosmic Dawn So how ...
This is left as key science for future telecopes like the James Webb Space Telescope.
A large number of the theoretical challenges posed by the Science Frontiers Panels are of a scale and complexity that require sustained, multi-institutional collaborations of theorists, computational astrophysicists, observers, ...
