The APEX project aims to detect the first stars and seed black holes formed in the early Universe using the James Webb Space Telescope. It will analyze the spectral signatures of these celestial objects to enhance our understanding of galaxy formation and the evolution of supermassive black holes.
The first stars must have started the generation of heavy elements and the formation of the first galaxies in the earliest phases of the Universe.
At the same epoch, the seeds of the supermassive black holes which are detected in the centres of all nearby massive galaxies, including our own Milky Way, must have formed.
While theoretically predicted, the detection of these first stars and seed black holes is an outstanding observational challenge in modern astronomy.
With the proposed APEX projec…
