Curtis-Lake et al. (2022; GS-z13 discovery in JWST data, no paywall) - arxiv.org/pdf/2212.04568.pdf
My video explaining the discovery of GS-z13 - youtube.com/watch?v=2VVVADtXNBE&t=1282s
00:00 - Introduction
00:48 - 28 billion light years (the Observable Universe)
02:29 - 93 billion light years - correcting for expansion
03:48 - An example with JWST galaxy GS-z13
05:25 - Comoving distance vs lookback distance
05:53 - We can't say the Universe is infinite
07:23 - Brilliant
08:46 - Bloopers
Correction: 04:20 I wasn't very careful with my words or graphics here. For those familiar, I made the decision to skip over the idea of "proper distance" for simplicity in this video. This is the distance between us and the object (in this case GS-z13) when the light was emitted, which at the time was actually 2.34 billion light years. The Universe's expansion means that the light travel time is then the further "lookback distance" of 13.48 billion light years.

👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
