Bursty Star Formation Naturally Explains the Abundance of Bright Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn

Recent discoveries of a significant population of bright galaxies at cosmic dawn $\left(z\gtrsim 10\right)$ have enabled critical tests of cosmological galaxy formation models. In particular, the bright end of the galaxys’ UV luminosity functions (UVLFs) appear higher than predicted by many models....
