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…

JWST NIRCam and MIRI Reveal the Dust-Producing AGB Population of NGC 6822

Conor Nally, Olivia C. Jones, Laura Lenkić +9

We present a photometric catalogue of the Local Group dwarf galaxy NGC 6822 based on deep JWST observations obtained with the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrum…

The outer rings of SN 1987A from year 1994 to 2024: morphology, light curves, and optical to mid-infrared spectra

Sophie Rosu, Elko Gerville-Reache, Steven Thomas +14

The outer rings (ORs) of Supernova (SN) 1987A were ejected ~20000 years before the explosion. Their characterisation is crucial for constraining the properties of the progenitor of…

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…

Unraveling the Dusty Environment Around RT Vir

Michael D. Preston, Angela K. Speck, Beth Sargent +1

Infrared studies of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are critical to our understanding of the formation of cosmic dust. In this investigation, we explore the mid-to-far-infrared…

Imaging of I Zw 18 by JWST: II. Spatially resolved star formation history

Giacomo Bortolini, Göran Östlin, Nolan Habel +14

The blue compact dwarf galaxy I Zw 18 is one of the most metal-poor () star-forming galaxies in the local Universe. Its evolutionary status has sparked debate w…

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…

Imaging of I Zw 18 by JWST. I. Strategy and First Results of Dusty Stellar Populations

Alec S. Hirschauer, Nicolas Crouzet, Nolan Habel +16

We present a JWST imaging survey of I Zw 18, the archetypal extremely metal-poor, star-forming (SF), blue compact dwarf galaxy. With an oxygen abundance of only 3% $Z_{\odot}…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems IV: NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry Performance and Lessons Learned

Steph Sallum, Shrishmoy Ray, Jens Kammerer +120

We present a performance analysis for the aperture masking interferometry (AMI) mode on board the James Webb Space Telescope Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (JWST/NI…

JWST MIRI flight performance: The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer

Ioannis Argyriou, Alistair Glasse, David R. Law +22

The Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS) provides one of the four operating modes of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on board the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The MRS is a…
