The Universe at z>10: Predictions for JWST from the UniverseMachine DR1

Understand

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to observe galaxies at $z>10$ that are presently inaccessible.

• Here, we use a self-consistent empirical model, the UniverseMachine, to generate mock galaxy catalogues and lightcones over the redshift range $z=0-15$.
• These data include realistic galaxy properties (stellar masses, star formation rates, and UV luminosities), galaxy-halo relationships, and galaxy-galaxy clustering.
• Mock observables are also provided for different model parameters spanning observational uncertainties at $z<10$.
