Early Disk-Galaxy Formation from JWST to the Milky Way (IAU S377)

Recent advancements in our understanding of galaxies have been made through the contributions of the Gaia spacecraft and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The launch of JWST has revealed high-redshift galaxies that challenge our expectations, highlighting the need for multi-wavelength observations, simulations, and theoretical models to resolve these mysteries. This volume, containing papers presented at IAU Symposium 377, showcases studies of galaxy formation, evolution, interaction, chemical abundances, and stellar populations from cosmic down to the Milky Way, providing an updated view of recent advances and current problems for researchers and graduate students.

In recent years, our understanding of the assembly and evolution of galaxies has undergone remarkable advancements. The Gaia spacecraft has provided invaluable insights into the formation of the Milky Way, while the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has ushered in a new era of exploration into galaxy evolution. Early discoveries made by JWST have challenged our preconceptions and revealed high-redshift galaxies that defy traditional understanding. To address these complex challenges, a multidisciplinary approach involving multi-wavelength observations, simulations, and theoretical models is essential. This volume, containing a selection of papers presented at IAU Symposium 377, held approximately two years after the JWST launch, showcases cutting-edge research on galaxy formation, evolution, interactions, chemical abundances, and stellar populations, ranging from cosmic scales to the Milky Way. These proceedings provide an up-to-date overview of recent developments and ongoing problems, making them valuable for both active researchers in the field and graduate students.
