Since the first release of data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in July 2022, we have witnessed a transformation in astronomy. VOSS 2025 will present a comprehensive overview of the major JWST results in its first three years (2022-2025), covering the four major scientific themes of JWST
The centres of galaxies are superb laboratories for studying the interplay between stellar dynamics, hydrodynamics, star formation, stellar feedback, and supermassive black holes.
As detectors become more sensitive, telescopes grow larger, and computers become ever more powerful, astronomical data has entered the petabyte domain. Major surveys such as Gaia, Pan-STARRS and Zwicky Transient Facility, have already measured billions of celestial sources; new surveys, such as Euclid and the Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time
