Abstract

The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has ignited a revolution in our understanding of the early universe. Its exquisite infrared capabilities have allowed observers to find galaxies at higher redshifts than before and to measure their stellar masses. I will describe how we can use these observations to shed light on the nature of dark matter. For the JWST galaxies to form they ought to reside in dark-matter halos, allowing us to measure the clustering of dark matter in an unexplored region. I will discuss the JWST observations of ultra-massive galaxies recently argued to “break LCDM”, and how we recently disfavored a cosmological solution using HST data at the same redshifts. If time allows, I will review the path forward to measuring dark-matter clustering down to the first galaxies through 21-cm observations.
