Empirical SED Templates for Star Clusters Observed with HST and JWST: No Strong PAH or IR Dust Emission after Five Myr
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, Janice C. Lee +25
JWST observations, when combined with HST data, promise to improve age estimates of star clusters in nearby spiral galaxies. However, feedback from young cluster stars pushes out t…
The PHANGS-HST-Halpha Survey: Warm Ionized Gas Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS with the Hubble Space Telescope
Rupali Chandar, Ashley T. Barnes, David A. Thilker +36
The PHANGS project is assembling a comprehensive, multi-wavelength dataset of nearby (~5-20 Mpc), massive star-forming galaxies to enable multi-phase, multi-scale investigations in…
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…
