The Large Magellanic Cloud through the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope: Binaries and the mass function in the galaxy's outskirts
M. V. Legnardi, F. Muratore, A. P. Milone +16
Nearby galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) offer an ideal laboratory to test the initial mass function under different physical conditions, but previous works have be…
A Cosmic Archipelago of lensed metal-poor galaxies at
A. Bolamperti, M. Messa, A. Zanella +21
The Cosmic Archipelago is an ensemble of galaxies, strongly lensed by the cluster MACSJ0416, showing extreme physical properties at . We combine JWST/NIRCam with deep VL…
Interstellar dust production, destruction and effects of dust depletion in galaxies
Francesco Calura
Despite its small mass fraction typically observed in the interstellar medium, dust plays a significant role as a key component of galaxies, affecting a wide range of properties. T…
A Pristine Star-Forming Complex at z=4.19
E. Vanzella, M. Messa, A. Zanella +14
We report the discovery of a faint (M_1700 ~ -12.2), oxygen-deficient strongly-lensed ionizing source -- dubbed LAP2 (Lensed And Pristine 2) -- at a spectroscopic redshift of z=4.1…
The z = 9.625 Cosmic Gems Galaxy was a "Compact Blue Monster" Propelled by Massive Star Clusters
E. Vanzella, M. Messa, A. Adamo +36
The recent discovery of five massive stellar clusters at z=9.625 in the Cosmic Gems has raised the question about the formation mechanism of star clusters in the first half Gyr aft…
The observed total star formation rate function up to z \sim 6: complementary UV and IR contributions and comparison with state-of-the-art galaxy formation models
A. Traina, C. Gruppioni, I. Delvecchio +21
We investigate how the obscured IR-derived and the dust-corrected UV star formation rate functions (SFRFs) compare with each other, and with predictions from state-of-the-art theor…
