Research summary
AI-generated

Jennifer A. Johnson works in astronomy and astrophysics, focusing on the study of stars and galaxies, including how the composition and formation of stars relate to the structure and history of the Milky Way galaxy. Recent work involves large sky-survey projects that map stars with low metal content (early-generation stars with fewer heavy elements) and study how the distribution of stellar masses varies depending on chemical composition. This research helps build a picture of how our galaxy formed and evolved over cosmic time.
