A JWST Project on 47 Tucanae: NIRSpec Spectroscopy of Multiple Populations among M Dwarfs

We present the first spectroscopic estimates of the chemical abundance of M dwarf stars in a globular cluster (GC), namely 47 Tucanae. By exploiting NIRSpec on board the James Webb Space Telescope, we gathered low-resolution spectra for 28 stars with masses in the range ∼0.4–0.5 M _⊙ . The spectra a...
