"Probing Dark Matter Theories with the James Webb Space Telescope"

An international team of astronomers led by UCLA’s Smadar Naoz is using simulations to study the role of dark matter in early galaxy formation, taking into account interactions between dark matter and hydrogen and helium gas. They believe that finding tiny, bright galaxies using the JWST could confirm the "cold dark matter" model and provide indirect evidence of dark matter's influence on the creation of galaxies. The extreme luminosity of these infant galaxies in the early Universe could offer an effective test for theories about dark matter and its role in shaping the first galaxies.
