Willman 1 Revisited: The Kinematics, Chemistry, and Orbital Properties of a Potentially-Disrupting Dwarf Galaxy
Camille Chiu, Marla Geha, William Cerny +4
The ultra-faint Milky Way satellite Willman 1 (W1; ; pc) was the first stellar over-density found via resolved stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Surv…
Constraints on asteroid-mass primordial black holes in dwarf galaxies using Hubble Space Telescope photometry
Nicolas Esser, Carrie Filion, Sven De Rijcke +4
Primordial black holes (PBHs) in the asteroid-mass range remain a viable and until now unconstrained dark matter (DM) candidate. If such PBHs exist, they could be captured by stars…
Understanding Stellar Mass-Metallicity and Size Relations in Simulated Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies
Minsung Go, Myoungwon Jeon, Yumi Choi +7
Reproducing the physical characteristics of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) in cosmological simulations is challenging, particularly with respect to stellar metallicity and galax…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program VII. Stress Testing the NIRCam Exposure Time Calculator
A. Savino, M. Gennaro, A. E. Dolphin +19
We empirically assess estimates from v3.0 of the JWST NIRCam Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) using observations of resolved stars in Local Group targets taken as part of the Resolve…
The Low-Mass Stellar Initial Mass Function in Nearby Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxies
Carrie Filion, Rosemary F. G. Wyse, Hannah Richstein +3
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) describes the distribution of stellar masses that form in a given star formation event. The long main-sequence lifetimes of low-mass stars m…
Deep Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of LMC and Milky Way Ultra-Faint Dwarfs: A careful look into the magnitude-size relation
Hannah Richstein, Nitya Kallivayalil, Joshua D. Simon +16
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry of ten targets from Treasury Program GO-14734, including six confirmed ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs), three UFD candidat…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program V. DOLPHOT Stellar Photometry for NIRCam and NIRISS
Daniel R. Weisz, Andrew E. Dolphin, Alessandro Savino +38
We present NIRCam and NIRISS modules for DOLPHOT, a widely-used crowded field stellar photometry package. We describe details of the modules including pixel masking, astrometric al…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program VI. Identifying Evolved Stars in Nearby Galaxies
Martha L. Boyer, Giada Pastorelli, Léo Girardi +20
We present an investigation of evolved stars in the nearby star-forming galaxy WLM, using NIRCam imaging from the JWST resolved stellar populations early-release science (ERS) prog…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program IV: The Star Formation History of the Local Group Galaxy WLM
Kristen. B. W. McQuinn, Max J. B. Newman, Alessandro Savino +23
We present the first star formation history (SFH) and age-metallicity relation (AMR) derived from resolved stellar populations imaged with the JWST NIRCam instrument. The target is…
The Impact of Patchy Reionization on Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies
Jaeeun Kim, Myoungwon Jeon, Yumi Choi +3
We investigate how patchy reionization affects the star formation history (SFH) and stellar metallicity of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs). Patchy reionization refers to varying…
NANCY: Next-generation All-sky Near-infrared Community surveY
Jiwon Jesse Han, Arjun Dey, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +206
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is capable of delivering an unprecedented all-sky, high-spatial resolution, multi-epoch infrared map to the astronomical community. This oppor…
Inhomogeneous Galactic Chemical Evolution: Modelling Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies of the Large Magellanic Cloud
R. K. Alexander, F. Vincenzo, A. P. Ji +3
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are among the oldest and most metal-poor galaxies in the cosmos, observed to contain no gas and a high dark matter mass fraction. Understanding the chemi…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program III: Photometric Star-Galaxy Separations for NIRCam
Jack T. Warfield, Hannah Richstein, Nitya Kallivayalil +15
We present criteria for separately classifying stars and unresolved background galaxies in photometric catalogs generated with the point spread function (PSF) fitting photometry so…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program II. Survey Overview
Daniel R. Weisz, Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Alessandro Savino +39
We present the JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science (ERS) science program. We obtained 27.5 hours of NIRCam and NIRISS imaging of three targets in the Local Grou…
