The PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha Nebulae Catalogue

A. T. Barnes, R. Chandar, K. Kreckel +38

We present the PHANGS-MUSE/HST-Halpha nebulae catalogue, comprising 5177 spatially resolved nebulae across 19 nearby star-forming galaxies (< 20 Mpc), based on high-resolution Halp…

The PHANGS-MUSE Nebula Catalogue

B. Groves, K. Kreckel, F. Santoro +17

Ionized nebulae provide critical insights into the conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM). Their bright emission lines enable the measurement of physical properties, such as t…

Linking stellar populations to HII regions across nearby galaxies: I. Constraining pre-supernova feedback from young clusters in NGC1672

A. T. Barnes, R. Chandar, K. Kreckel +32

One of the fundamental factors regulating the evolution of galaxies is stellar feedback. However, we still do not have strong observational constraints on the relative importance o…

A physically motivated `charge-exchange method' for measuring electron temperatures within HII regions

K. Kreckel, O. Egorov, F. Belfiore +9

Aims: Temperature uncertainties plague our understanding of abundance variations within the ISM. Using the PHANGS-MUSE large program, we develop and apply a new technique to model…

The MUSE view of the Sculptor galaxy: survey overview and the planetary nebulae luminosity function

E. Congiu, F. Scheuermann, K. Kreckel +21

NGC 253, the Sculptor galaxy, is the southern, massive, star-forming disk galaxy closest to the Milky Way. In this work, we present a new 103-pointing MUSE mosaic of this galaxy co…

Quantifying the energetics of molecular superbubbles in PHANGS galaxies

E. J. Watkins, K. Kreckel, B. Groves +26

Star formation and stellar feedback are interlinked processes that redistribute energy and matter throughout galaxies. When young, massive stars form in spatially clustered environ…
