Fake Light Workshop

May 30, 2023, 8:30 AM → Jun 2, 2023, 6:00 PM America/New_York

17th Floor (Math for America)

With exciting new JWST data arriving every day, it is an ideal time to think about directly comparing galaxy formation models with JWST observations. This focused invitation-only workshop will bring together theorists who are working to predict JWST synthetic observables from hydrodynamical simulations and semi-analytic models, in addition to a few observers to provide guidance and motivation.
