JWST observations of Terzan 5 reveal multiple stellar populations with ages of 12.5 and 4.7 Gyr, plus hints of a 3.8 Gyr component, suggesting a multi-epoch formation history.

Planar very metal-poor stars exhibit chemical homogeneity and dwarf-galaxy-like abundance ratios, supporting origin from one ancient accreted system tentatively called Loki.
The MGCS releases official catalogs, completeness tests, and improved absolute proper motions (~3x better than Gaia) for 34 Galactic globular clusters, updating associations with galaxy progenitors for several systems.
RR Lyrae stars yield metallicity measurements for Milky Way halo substructures including Gaia Sausage/Enceladus at [Fe/H] = -1.57 dex, with some features like ED-1 showing disk contamination and others like Shiva and Shakti suggested as in-situ.
Simulations show negative metallicity gradients in all low-mass galaxies, U-shaped age profiles in most, and halo metallicity dispersion tied to the infall time of the dominant satellite.
Stellar halos act as transition regions between bright central galaxies and intracluster light, with strong mass correlations, similar colors that redden over time, and a shrinking metallicity gap from 0.4 dex at z=2 to 0.1 dex today.
