Pushing HST to the limit: Detection completeness and morphology robustness of faint galaxies in the EGS field

Limin Lai, Zhao-Yu Li, Chao Ma +3

Reliable catalogs at the faint limit are essential for statistical studies of galaxy evolution. However, detection and structural measurements of faint galaxies remain challenging.…

Connections between star cluster populations and their host galaxy nuclear rings

Chao Ma, Richard de Grijs, Luis C. Ho

Nuclear rings are excellent laboratories for probing diverse phenomena such as the formation and evolution of young massive star clusters (YMCs), nuclear starbursts, as well as the…

The NGC 7742 star cluster luminosity function: A population analysis revisited

Richard de Grijs, Chao Ma

We re-examine the properties of the star cluster population in the circumnuclear starburst ring in the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 7742, whose young cluster mass function has been re…

Improved method to determine the integrated properties of nuclear rings: NGC 1512

Chao Ma, Richard de Grijs, Luis C. Ho

The integrated properties of nuclear rings are correlated with their host galaxy's secular evolution and its dynamics, as well as with the formation and evolution of the ring's sta…

Young star clusters in circumnuclear starburst rings

Richard de Grijs, Chao Ma, Siyao Jia +2

We analyse the cluster luminosity functions (CLFs) of the youngest star clusters in three galaxies exhibiting prominent circumnuclear starburst rings. We focus specifically on NGC…
