Back First Light and Reionization: open questions in the post-JWST era

First Light and Reionization: open questions in the post-JWST era

Publication date: 15 November 2009

Authors: Stiavelli, M., et al.

Journal: JWST White Paper
Year: 0

The aim of this paper is to outline the expected JWST performance in addressing first light and reionization science questions that are found to be of interest today. These are some of the most challenging and interesting questions in modern astronomy, and are key drivers for the design of the JWST. Nevertheless, because these early epochs are difficult to observe, even JWST is unlikely to provide complete answers.
