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…

The Stellar Initial Mass Function down to 0.16M Towards the Small Magellanic Cloud

Roger E. Cohen, Mario Gennaro, Matteo Correnti +2

The presence (and nature) of variations in the stellar initial mass function (IMF) at substantially sub-solar masses and metallicities (0.5M, [M/H]1) r…

Galaxy UV Legacy Project: Survey Description and First Insights Into NGC 4449 Recent History of Star Formation

E. Sabbi, B. Meena, P. Zeidler +18

The Galaxy UV Legacy Project (GULP) is a Cycle 28 Treasury program with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) designed to characterize resolved massive stars, OB associations, and young…

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…

Isolated massive star candidates in NGC 4242 with GULP

Pietro Facchini, Eva K. Grebel, Anna Pasquali +16

There is considerable debate on how massive stars form, including whether a high-mass star must always form with a population of low-mass stars or whether it ca…

Wide binaries in an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy: discovery, population modeling, and a nail in the coffin of primordial black hole dark matter

Cheyanne Shariat, Kareem El-Badry, Mario Gennaro +24

We report the discovery and characterization of a wide binary population in the ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Boötes I using deep JWST/NIRCam imaging. Our sample consists of 52 candidate…

GULP II: Hierarchical Distribution and Evolution of Young Stellar Structures in NGC 4449

Beena Meena, Elena Sabbi, Peter Zeidler +15

We investigate the hierarchical distribution and evolution of young stellar structures in the dwarf starburst galaxy NGC 4449 using data from the GULP survey. By analyzing the spat…

The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program. VIII. The Spatially Resolved Star Formation History of WLM

Roger E. Cohen, Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Alessandro Savino +17

We measure radial stellar age gradients in the relatively isolated gas-rich dwarf irregular WLM, combining JWST NIRCam and NIRISS imaging with six archival Hubble fields over semi-…

Measuring Resolved Star Formation Histories from High-Precision Color-Magnitude Diagrams with StarFormationHistories.jl

Christopher T. Garling, Nitya Kallivayalil, Kristen B. W. McQuinn +3

Understanding how and when galaxies formed stars over the history of the Universe is fundamental to the study of galaxy evolution. The star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies i…

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…

HST Survey of the Orion Nebula Cluster in ACS/Visible and WFC3/IR Bands. IV. A Bayesian multi-wavelength study of stellar parameters in the ONC

Giovanni M. Strampelli, Massimo Robberto, Laurent Pueyo +4

We have performed a comprehensive study of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) combining the photometric data obtained by the two \textit{HST} Treasury programs that targeted this regio…

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…

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey

M. G. Guarcello, E. Flaccomio, J. F. Albacete-Colombo +48

Context. With a mass exceeding several 10^4 solar masses and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters represent the most massive star-forming…

A HST Study of the Substellar Population of NGC 2024

Massimo Robberto, Mario Gennaro, Nicola Da Rio +6

We performed a HST/WFC3-IR imaging survey of the young stellar cluster NGC 2024 in three filters probing the 1.4~m HO absorption feature, characteristic of the population of…
