Constraining the z ∼ 1 Initial Mass Function with HST and JWST Lensed Stars in MACS J0416.1−2403

Constraining the z ∼ 1 Initial Mass Function with HST and JWST Lensed Stars in MACS J0416.1−2403

Our understanding of galaxy properties and evolution is contingent on knowing the initial mass function (IMF), and yet to date the IMF is constrained only to local galaxies. Individual stars are now becoming routinely detected at cosmological distances, where luminous stars such as supergiants in ba...
