Are Nucleosynthetic Yields Universal? Interpreting the Multi-Elemental Abundances of Quiescent Galaxies over Cosmic Time Using Milky Way Stars
Aliza G. Beverage, David H. Weinberg, Mariska Kriek +3
The detailed abundance patterns of quiescent galaxies offer powerful constraints on their formation and evolution. Yet physical insight remains elusive, as nucleosynthetic yields a…
Probing the IMF in the Early Universe -- Direct measurements in the Boötes I UFD with JWST/NIRCam
Keyi Ding, Mario Gennaro, Roberto J. Avila +20
The dependence of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) on star-formation environment, particularly at low metallicities and high redshifts, remains poorly constrained. Ultra-fai…
Unveiling Massive Main-Sequence Stars in Sextans A through Panchromatic Photometry
Maude Gull, Daniel R. Weisz, Yumi Choi +9
We present a study of the metal-poor (~6% Z_sun) massive (>8 M_sun) main-sequence star population in the star-forming dwarf galaxy Sextans A. By modeling near-UV to near-IR photome…

A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…
The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program. IX. The RR Lyrae Population in WLM with HST and JWST
Catherine M. Slaughter, Evan D. Skillman, Alessandro Savino +16
RR Lyrae stars are a common, dependable Population II distance indicator, and provide an independent tracer of early star formation. Here, we utilize archival HST/ACS and JWST/NIRC…
Hidden mass in early galaxies revealed by bottom-heavy initial mass functions
Chloe M. Cheng, Martje Slob, Mariska Kriek +21
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations have revealed that massive galaxies formed and evolved faster than predicted by galaxy formation models, with many having already ass…
