The James Webb Space Telescope Mission
Jonathan P. Gardner, John C. Mather, Randy Abbott +1004
Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized…
The Hubble Space Telescope UV Legacy Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. XXIV. Differences in internal kinematics of multiple stellar populations
M. Libralato, E. Vesperini, A. Bellini +12
Our understanding of the kinematic properties of multiple stellar populations (mPOPs) in Galactic globular clusters (GCs) is still limited compared to what we know about their chem…
Timing the r-Process Enrichment of the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II
Joshua D. Simon, Thomas M. Brown, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil +65
The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II (Ret II) exhibits a unique chemical evolution history, with 72 +10/-12% of its stars strongly enhanced in r-process elements. We present d…
An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing
Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +90
We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry…
Star Formation Histories of Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies: environmental differences between Magellanic and non-Magellanic satellites?
Elena Sacchi, Hannah Richstein, Nitya Kallivayalil +18
We present the color-magnitude diagrams and star formation histories (SFHs) of seven ultra-faint dwarf galaxies: Horologium 1, Hydra 2, Phoenix 2, Reticulum 2, Sagittarius 2, Trian…
Relative Ages of Nine Inner Milky Way Globular Clusters from Proper Motion Cleaned Color-Magnitude Diagrams
Roger E. Cohen, Andrea Bellini, Luca Casagrande +3
Our picture of the age-metallicity relation for Milky Way globular clusters (MWGCs) is still highly incomplete, and the majority of MWGCs lack self-consistent age measurements. Her…
