The James Webb space telescope will launch at the end of 2017, providing a revolution in our understanding of the first galaxies within the first 500 Million years after the Big Bang. This update to the Hubble Space Telescope will allow us to probe the very first galaxies in a way that we are unable to do today. Nottingham is part of the team with guaranteed early data from JWST. The student hired for this project will at first lead some preparatory work using data we are acquiring with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile to determine the best targets for JWST. After launch the student will then take on a leadership role in investigating the stellar populations, ages, structure and star formation rates of the first galaxies. This will ultimately be interpreted in terms of theories of galaxies formation to test and exclude different ideas for how the first generations of galaxies and star formed.

詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜将于2017年底发射，为我们对大爆炸后第一个5亿年内的第一个星系的理解带来革命。哈勃太空望远镜的这次更新将使我们能够以一种我们今天无法做到的方式探测第一个星系。诺丁汉是球队的一部分，有保证的早期数据从JWST。该项目聘请的学生将首先使用我们在智利的甚大望远镜（VLT）获得的数据进行一些准备工作，以确定JWST的最佳目标。发射后，学生将在研究第一个星系的恒星数量、年龄、结构和星星形成率方面发挥领导作用。这最终将被解释为星系形成的理论，以测试和排除第一代星系和星星如何形成的不同想法。
