Discovery of Metal-poor and Distant Pre–Main Sequence Candidates in WLM with JWST

We present the discovery of 12 metal-poor and ​​​distant pre–main sequence (PMS) candidates in the dwarf irregular galaxy Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte ∼968 kpc away, at a present-day metallicity of [Fe/H] ∼ –0.9. These candidates have masses between 1.25 and 5 M _⊙ , with ages <10 Myr, and exhibit signi...
