Early Disk-Galaxy Formation from JWST to the Milky Way (IAU S377) Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union Symposia and Colloquia Series

Our comprehension of the assembly and evolution of galaxies has witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years. While the Gaia spacecraft has provided unprecedented knowledge of the Milky Way's assembly, the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has propelled the study of galaxy evolution into an exciting new era. Early discoveries of JWST have revealed high-redshift galaxies that defy our expectations. These conundrums must be resolved through multi-wavelength observations, simulations, and theoretical models as emphasized in this volume, which contains a selection of papers presented at IAU Symposium 377, held about two years after the launch of JWST. These papers showcase studies of galaxy formation, evolution, interaction, chemical abundances and stellar populations from cosmic down to the Milky Way. These proceedings offer an updated view of recent advances and current problems and is suitable for both active researchers in the field and graduate students.
