“…We model the JWST and Hubble Space Telescope rest-UV and rest-optical photometry of galaxies with flexible star formation histories (SFHs) using BAGPIPES. We consider SFRs averaged from the SFHs over 10 Myr (SFR _10 ) and 100 Myr (SFR _100 ), where the photometry probes SFRs on these timescales, effectively tracing nebular emission lines in the rest-optical (on  ~10 Myr timescales) and the UV/optical continuum (on  ~100 Myr timescales). …”
