Tools & techniques. 330 $aNew observations of the period between the cosmic recombination and the end of reionization are posing intriguing questions about where the first generations of stars were formed, how the first galaxies were assembled, whether these galaxies have low redshift counterparts, and what role the early galaxies played in the reionization process. Combining the new observational data with theoretical models can shed new light on open issues regarding the star formation process, its role in the reionization of the Universe, and the metal enrichment in galaxies at those early epochs. This volume brings together leading experts in the field to discuss our current level of understanding and what may come in the near future as our observational as well as theoretical tools improve. The book confronts the theory of how the first stars, black holes, and galaxies formed with current and planned observations. This synthesis is very timely, just ahead of the establishment of major new facilities, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a next-generation, millimeter/sub-millimeter observatory in the Atacama desert (ALMA), and ground-based Extremely Large Telescopes (ELT). Together, they will revolutionize the study of the most distant objects in the Universe. This volume is aimed at beginning graduate students but can also serve as a reference work for active researchers in the field. Apart from presenting the fundamental concepts involved, it also provides an introduction to the methods and techniques used. The book will also be useful to anyone with an astrophysical background who needs an effective starting point for learning about the first stars and galaxies. 410 0$aAstrophysics and Space Science Library,$x0067-0057 ;$v396 606 $aGalaxies$xFormation 606 $aStars$xFormation 606 $aEarly stars 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstronomy 615 0$aGalaxies$xFormation. 615 0$aStars$xFormation. 615 0$aEarly stars. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aAstronomy. 676 $a523.1 676 $a523.112 701 $aWiklind$b Tommy$01763752 701 $aMobasher$b Bahram$01763753 701 $aBromm$b Volker$01763754 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438108203321 996 $aThe first galaxies$94204357 997 $aUNINA
