Discovering Subsolar Metallicity Brown Dwarf Candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud

We present the discovery of the first rich population of brown dwarf candidates (cBD) at subsolar metallicity, observed by JWST outside the Milky Way (MW) in the young SMC star cluster NGC 602. Located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) “wing,” in a very low-density environment (1.3 cm ^−3 ) and at...
