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

NGC 346 is a massive star-forming region located at a distance of $\sim$62 kpc, in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC).

NGC 346 is a massive star-forming region located at a distance of $\sim$62 kpc, in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Due to its low metallicity (Z $\sim$1/5 Z$_{\odot}$), it is an ideal environment to study star formation and stellar population analogues to those at Cosmic Noon.…
