GOALS-JWST: Constraining the Emergence Timescale for Massive Star Clusters in NGC 3256

GOALS-JWST: Constraining the Emergence Timescale for Massive Star Clusters in NGC 3256

We present the results of a James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam and NIRSpec investigation into the young massive star cluster (YMC) population of NGC 3256, the most cluster-rich luminous infrared galaxy in the Great Observatories All Sky LIRG Survey. We detect 3061 compact YMC candidates with a signal...
