summary and implications » UV luminosity functions (LFs) of galaxies at redshifts z~5-16 can be reproduced with regular galaxy formation physics when stochasticity of star formation rate (SFR) is explicitly modeled.

Ok, actual science results from Andrey Kravtsov and GRUMPY. You can use a model designed for nearby dwarf galaxies and use it to fit the earliest galaxies. It works really well, as long as you have random, "bursty" star formation (which is reasonable).
No new physics required; very ancient galaxies follow the same rules as nearby galaxies. JWST has not disproven the Big Bang. #JWSTYearOne
