The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program. VIII. The Spatially Resolved Star Formation History of WLM

Roger E. Cohen · Kristen B. W. McQuinn · Alessandro Savino · Max J. B. Newman · 2025 · The Astrophysical Journal

Radial stellar population gradients within dwarf galaxies provide a promising avenue for disentangling the drivers of galaxy evolution, including environment. Within the Local Volume, radial stellar age gradient slopes correlate with interaction history, contrary to model predictions, so dwarfs that are isolated provide a critical control sample. We measure radial stellar age gradients in the relatively isolated gas-…
