[Kathryn Grasha]

Dear ASA members,

Second and final reminder that abstract submission and registration will close on 1 March 2024 for IAU Symposium #391: The first chapters of our cosmic history with JWST<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/__aiCmO5glupn45PgFGMzqT?domain=jadc.swin.edu.au>

The symposium will be held between 6-9th of August 2024 during the IAU General Assembly in Cape Town<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/CvAbCnx1jniXoBG3PCJ2zTl?domain=astronomy2024.org>.

Registration: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/IoguCoV1kpfDzWXPgSViU9z?domain=astronomy2024.org
Abstract and Grant submission: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/ZsgECp81lrt986zOVTGZ0tW?domain=astronomy2024.org

Both above needs to be done separately by the deadline of 1 March 2024.


VISION
To foster a dynamic exchange of innovative scientific ideas of the early cosmos through the lens of JWST and ignite a passion for space among the Africa's next generation of scientists.

KEY SCIENTIFIC THEMES
- Uncovering the physical and chemical properties of first galaxies in the Universe with JWST.
- Determining the role of first stars, galaxies, AGN, and quasars in reshaping the first billion years of the Universe.
- Revealing the rapid mass and dust build up pathways of the first massive galaxies in the early Universe with JWST.
- The abundance and quenching mechanisms of the first massive quiescent galaxies in the Universe.
- The large scale structures of the early Universe uncovered by JWST.
- Simulating the first chapters of our cosmic history with new observational constraints from JWST.
- JWST observatory updates: what have we learnt about the facility in the first 2 years.
- Utilizing JWST effectively with strengths of Hubble and other ground based facilities.
- Addressing critical science that has not been covered with JWST by Cycle 3.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
