Detection of strong spectral features from asymptotic-giant-branch stars in distant quiescent galaxies
Nature Astronomy, Published online: 22 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02392-8
Using JWST, spectral features have been detected in the near-infrared emission of distant galaxies. The observations address a long-standing controversy about the contribution of thermally pulsing asymptotic-giant-branch stars to galaxy emission, with implications for the calculation of galaxy ages and stellar masses, and for models of stellar population synthesis.
