Summary
Surveys of distant galaxies have challenged our understanding of the early phases of star and galaxy formation. These galaxies are brighter and more abundant than previously expected. Detailed studies have found further surprises: growing black holes, runaway star formation, quenched star formation, and even unusual stellar populations. A researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, will develop computational tools and models that can help explain these surprises in a rigorous way. As part of the project, research tutorials for local high school and undergraduate students will be
