Ga-Nifs Science Workshop

The Physics of Galaxy Assembly: Spatially Resolved IFS Observations of High-Redshift Galaxies (GA-NIFS) survey is an ambitious project that aims to reveal the internal structure and environment of distant galaxies, as well as the properties of supermassive black holes at high redshift. It exploits observations obtained with the integral field spectroscopy (IFS) mode of the JWST/NIRSpec instrument and has been allocated over 300 hours of JWST prime observing time. GA-NIFS is one of the three major NIRSpec GTO high-redshift extragalactic surveys. Four years after the launch of JWST and the start of the GA-NIFS project, this workshop aims to discuss the scientific results obtained so far, their implications for our understanding of galaxy and black hole evolution, and to foster future collaborations across the extragalactic astronomy community.
