The Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN) DAWN is a collaboration between the Niels Bohr Institute (U. Cph) and DTU Space, dedicated to uncovering how the first galaxies, stars and black holes formed and evolved in the early Universe.
Just out: the #DeepDive survey; a new JWST program to uncover how massive galaxies quenched at z ~ 3–5.

The first results include spectra of 150 quiescent galaxies.

Big thanks to Danmark Frie Forsningsfond/Sapere Aude & @dg.dk for their support!

For instance, Shuntov et al. show how the galaxies' dark matter halos initially outpace galaxy assembly.

However, as accretion of gas and dark matter begins to slow down after some 1.5–2 billion years, halo growth stagnates while accumulated gas reservoirs keep star formation going.

Time for the annual followup meeting with our main funding body, the Danish National Research Foundation.

We're delighted to have this opportunity to discuss not only our own research, but also the Foundation's interests, as well as this year's focus: "Fair recognition of contributions to research"
