Description

Speaker: Kevin Hainline (Associate Research Professor, Steward Observatory, The University of Arizona)

In its first three years, JWST has transformed our view of galaxy evolution. Among its most puzzling discoveries are the 'little red dots'—compact, distant sources scattered across the sky that continue to defy easy explanation. In this talk, Dr. Kevin Hainline (Associate Research Professor, Steward Observatory, University of Arizona) explores their discovery, the growing list of mysteries they present, and what they might reveal about the early universe.
