On the Nature of Disks at High Redshift Seen by JWST/CEERS with Contrastive Learning and Cosmological Simulations

Visual inspections of the first optical rest-frame images from JWST have indicated a surprisingly high fraction of disk galaxies at high redshifts. Here, we alternatively apply self-supervised machine learning to explore the morphological diversity at z ≥ 3. Our proposed data-driven representation s...
