Abstract

Stellar Populations with JWST

Julianne Dalcanton (University of Washington)

Resolved stars are a superb tool for untangling the history of galaxy formation and the timescales and energetics of stellar feedback. JWST's combination of high resolution and large aperture will take such studies into new regimes, by resolving stars to greater depth and in dustier environments. I will review the potential of resolved stellar population studies in general, highlighting areas where JWST is likely to have the largest imact.
