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…
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…
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…
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}…
