The Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN)
Forskning
Research center dedicated to uncovering how and when the first galaxies, stars and black holes formed.
Om os
The Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN) is a new international research center of excellence, primarily funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. DAWN is located in Copenhagen at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, and at the Space division of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU-Space). The center is dedicated to uncovering how and when the first galaxies, stars and black holes formed, through observations with the prime telescopes of the next decade (ALMA, JWST, Euclid, E-ELT, HST) as well as through theory and simulations.

Earliest sign of the Universe becoming transparent discovered with #JamesWebb. Joris Witstok and collaborators detected the escape of your favorite UV light, Lyman α, the telltale signature of an ionized bubble around a galaxy, only 330 million years after the Big Bang. This is some 200 million earlier than hitherto seen. 🇬🇧 https://lnkd.in/dVXH4QsA 🇩🇰 https://lnkd.in/d6Tn_zQA

Marko Shuntov continues his quest for understanding the relationship between galaxies and their dark matter: https://lnkd.in/dZ6TuTBC
I'm happy to share that we have just submitted our paper to the arxiv! We investigated the connection between galaxies in dark matter halos in the early Universe, in particular the relationship between the luminosity of galaxies and their host dark matter halo masses. Constraining this relationship is crucial in understanding how was it possible to form the earliest and most luminous galaxies of the Universe that James Webb Space Telescope reveals. To unveil the responsible physical mechanisms, it is not only important how many galaxies there are in the early Universe, but also how they are spatially distributed. This is called clustering, and we measured it with the 2-point correlation function of line emitting galaxies from spectroscopic JWST surveys. We used this in combination with the UV luminosity function to constrain the early Universe star formation efficiency, the host dark matter halo masses and galaxy bias at 4<z<9. The theoretical framework and methodology that we developed for this work paves the way to more precise studies with larger datasets from JWST and Euclid space observatories. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/dKVRcCsT I lead this paper in collaboration with brilliant researchers at The Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN), University of Geneva and others throughout Europe and the US.

It's time for the annual followup meeting with our main funding body, Danmarks Grundforskningsfond / The Danish National Research Foundation. We're delighted to have this opportunity to discuss not only our own activities and research, but also the Foundation's interests, as well as a topic debated by all their centers — this year's focus is on "Fair recognition of contributions to research". - at Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen

The "Niels Bohr Lectures" are a recurring series of talks, given at a 1st-year university student level at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. Today, Desika Narayanan is talking about dust in the interstellar medium, successfully convincing the audience that dust is not so boring after all.

Master student Chamilla T. recently first-authored a paper on a peculiar galaxy in the early Universe which both emits and absorbs UV light. Tomorrow morning she'll be guesting TV 2 Danmark's Go' morgen Danmark, talking about the discovery. Camilla also featured a few days ago in this article from Politiken: https://lnkd.in/dzUrUrYS
