Observations with JWST in the F090W band provide a powerful tool for determining galaxy distances based on tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) measurements. It is a great convenienc…
To What Extent Are Star Cluster Ages Encoded in Their Environments? Exploring the Spatial Distribution of Age-Related Information with PHANGS-HST Imaging and Convolutional Neural Networks
Javier Viaña, Janice C. Lee, Andrew Vanderburg +12
The environments around star clusters evolve as stellar feedback reshapes the interstellar medium and dynamical processes reorganize the structure of the surrounding stellar field.…
The Progenitor of the Type II-Plateau SN 2025pht in NGC 1637: The Dustiest, Most Luminous Red Supergiant So Far?
