JWST Identification of Extremely Low C/N Galaxies with [N/O] ≳ 0.5 at z ∼ 6–10 Evidencing the Early CNO-cycle Enrichment and a Connection with Globular Cluster Formation

JWST Identification of Extremely Low C/N Galaxies with [N/O] ≳ 0.5 at z ∼ 6–10 Evidencing the Early CNO-cycle Enrichment and a Connection with Globular Cluster Formation

We present chemical abundance ratios of 70 star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 4–10 observed by the JWST/NIRSpec Early Release Observations, GLASS, and CEERS programs. Among the 70 galaxies, we have pinpointed two galaxies, CEERS_01019 at z = 8.68 and GLASS_150008 at z = 6.23, with extremely low C/N ([C/N]...
