Tracing the earliest stages of star and cluster formation in 19 nearby galaxies with PHANGS-JWST and HST: compact 3.3 m PAH emitters and their relation to the optical census of star clusters
M. Jimena Rodríguez, Janice C. Lee, Remy Indebetouw +25
The earliest stages of star and cluster formation are hidden within dense cocoons of gas and dust, limiting their detection at optical wavelengths. With the unprecedented infrared…

PHANGS-HST catalogs for 100,000 star clusters and compact associations in 38 galaxies: I. Observed properties
Daniel Maschmann, Janice C. Lee, David A. Thilker +24
We present the largest catalog to-date of star clusters and compact associations in nearby galaxies. We have performed a V-band-selected census of clusters across the 38 spiral gal…
