First JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy of O Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

First JWST/NIRSpec Spectroscopy of O Stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud

Determining how much mass is removed by stellar winds is crucial to understanding massive star evolution and feedback. However, traditional spectroscopic diagnostics in the UV and optical are not sensitive enough to characterize weak stellar winds of OB stars in low-metallicity environments. A new t...
