Sequential Star-Formation and the Near-Infrared Stellar Populations within N159

Nolan Habel, E. Sabbi, Peter Zeidler +19

We present the first results from a JWST/NIRCam study of the star-forming region N159, one of the richest H II complexes in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This region stretches over $…

The Stellar Population of NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud with JWST

J. Jaspers, P. Kavanagh, G. De Marchi +13

NGC 346 is a massive star-forming region located at a distance of 62 kpc, in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Due to its low metallicity (Z 1/5 Z), it is an…

The evolution of the mid-infrared spectrum of SN 1987A observed with the JWST/MIRI-MRS

P. J. Kavanagh, M. J. Barlow, C. Fransson +19

Supernova (SN) 1987A provides a unique laboratory for investigating many aspects of SN physics and evolution. An observation at Day 12927 (35.4 yr) since the explosion with the Mid…

A Mid-Infrared Spectroscopic Study of Young Stellar Objects in the SMC Region NGC 346: JWST Detects Dust, Accretion, Ices and Outflows

Nolan Habel, Omnarayani Nayak, Patrick J. Kavanagh +13

We present mid-infrared spectroscopic observations of intermediate- to high-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) in the low-metallicity star-forming region NGC 346 located within the…

First detection of ices in intermediate-mass young stellar objects beyond the Milky Way

Guido De Marchi, Nolan Habel, Margaret Meixner +15

Using NIRSpec on JWST, we studied a sample of 15 intermediate-mass (1.8-4.1 Msun) young stellar objects (YSOs) previously identified with MIRI photometry in the low-metallicity NGC…

Young Stellar Objects in NGC 346: A JWST NIRCam/MIRI Imaging Survey

Nolan Habel, Conor Nally, Laura Lenkic +17

We present a JWST imaging survey with NIRCam and MIRI of NGC 346, the brightest star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). By combining aperture and point spread func…
