Scientific paper
One of the outstanding goals of cosmology is to understand how the universe was transformed from its simple state at the end of the Cosmic Dark Ages to the complex state that is observed at the end of reionization. I will discuss the emerging theoretical picture of how the first generations of stars form and how they, in turn, impact the formation of the earliest galaxies. An important task for the coming years is to connect this picture with the observational data, both direct and indirect, that are becoming available. Direct observations will be made with the James Webb Space Telescope, and indirect studies using stellar archaeology will be enhanced with surveys such as SEGUE. I will discuss current efforts to test our theoretical view of star formation in the early universe using these observations.
