Abstract

I present the first results of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data. We obtained combined NIRSpec and NIRCam data of the GC 47 Tucanae to investigate the properties of the different stellar populations in the low-mass regime, down to ∼0.5 M⊙. Our analysis of both the photometric data and the spectra suggests that the multiple stellar populations among M dwarfs share similar properties of those extensively studied on bright red giant branch stars. The comparison between stellar populations’ properties at different stellar mass, e.g. at the red giants and M dwarfs’ phases, can potentially provide strong constraints to the formation scenarios of the still eluding phenomenon of the multiple populations in star clusters.
