Scientific paper
I will review recent theoretical predictions of the properties of the first stars, the first star clusters, the first galaxies, and the first active galactic nuclei, with an eye to their observability by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Very high redshift galaxies are the most promising for observation by JWST. This is not surprising, given that the sensitivity requirements for the mission were derived with such galaxies in mind. In general, I expect that gravitational lensing amplification of faint sources to either make them detectable in imaging or observable in spectroscopy will be a very important tool for JWST. Furthermore, for all these classes of objects, including galaxies, further theoretical progress would be required to fully predict and, after the launch of JWST, interpret the JWST observations.
