EPOCHS IX. When cosmic dawn breaks: Evidence for evolved stellar populations in galaxies from PEARLS GTO and public NIRCam imaging

James A. A. Trussler, Christopher J. Conselice, Nathan Adams +28

The presence of evolved stars in high-redshift galaxies can place valuable indirect constraints on the onset of star formation in the Universe. Thus we use PEARLS GTO and public NI…
