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-…
