This research aims to explore how early dark energy affects the formation of galaxies in the high-redshift universe, particularly addressing the Hubble tension.
Conducted large-scale cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of early dark energy models.
Analyzed the impact of modified pre-recombination expansion on structure formation.
Tested model predictions against JWST measurements of ultraviolet luminosity and stellar mass functions.
Simulations show excellent agreement with JWST measurements of UV brightness and stellar mass functions.
Increased number densities of disk galaxies by ~0.5 dex at z ≃ 6–7 due to higher abundance of massive galaxies.
Model predictions converge to ΛCDM at lower redshifts (z ≲ 3), preserving its successes.
