Physics & Astronomy Colloquium - Professor Kristin McQuinn, Univ. of Rutgers

Title: "Resolved Stellar Populations Studies with the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes"

Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Arts and Sciences, Lectures & Seminars

Abstract: The study of resolved stellar populations in nearby galaxies was transformed by the high sensitivity and spatial resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and is now being transformed again with the more powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The results have far-reaching impacts, providing the most detailed and quantitative measures of the star formation histories of low-mass galaxies, insights into their growth across cosmic timescales, and constraints on the intersection of reionization and low-mass galaxy evolution. In this talk, I will highlight recent results from resolved star studies on very low-mass galaxies with HST data and present the first star formation histories derived from JWST data.
