Resolving Multi-phase Outflow/Inflow via Gas Dynamics and Chemical Abundance Distribution in a Sub-L* Dwarf Galaxy at z=6.1 — This project will use JWST/NIRSpec to reveal how gas flows in and out of an early low-mass galaxy as well as mapping its chemical abundances to search for signs of proto-globular clusters or metal-free gas. By combining JWST’s unparalleled sensitivity with gravitational lensing and an advanced “MSA stepping” technique, this project will achieve ultra-efficient, spatially resolved spectroscopy down to star-cluster scales, at a depth that would otherwise be unfeasible.
