Bright, Relatively Isolated Star Clusters in PHANGS-HST Galaxies: Aperture Corrections, Quantitative Morphologies, and Comparison with Synthetic Stellar Population Models

Sinan Deger, Janice C. Lee, Bradley C. Whitmore +14

Using PHANGS-HST NUV-U-B-V-I imaging of 17 nearby spiral galaxies, we study samples of star clusters and stellar associations, visually selected to be bright and relatively isolate…

Star Cluster Classification in the PHANGS-HST Survey: Comparison between Human and Machine Learning Approaches

Bradley C. Whitmore, Janice C. Lee, Rupali Chandar +21

When completed, the PHANGS-HST project will provide a census of roughly 50,000 compact star clusters and associations, as well as human morphological classifications for roughly 20…

PHANGS-ALMA: Arcsecond CO(2-1) Imaging of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies

Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +69

We present PHANGS-ALMA, the first survey to map CO J=2-1 line emission at ~1" ~ 100pc spatial resolution from a representative sample of 90 nearby (d<~20 Mpc) galaxies that lie on…
