What is the role of distant galaxies in galaxy formation models and the epoch of reionization? What are the conditions in typical star-forming galaxies at redshifts >~4? Why is galaxy evolution dependent on environment? The Spitzer Space Telescope has been a crucial tool for addressing these questions. Accurate knowledge of stellar masses, ages and star formation rates requires measuring rest-frame optical (and ultraviolet) light, which only Spitzer can probe at high redshifts for a sufficiently large sample of typical galaxies. Many of these science goals are the main science drivers for the James Webb Space Telescope, and Spitzer afforded us their first exploration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-05-14T20:27:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high-redshift universe", "james webb space telescope", "galaxies start forming stars", "galaxy formation models", "galaxy evolution dependent" ], "tags": [ "review article", "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Nature" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
