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…

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and CO(2-1) Emission at 50-150 pc Scales in 70 Nearby Galaxies

Ryan Chown, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +44

Combining Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array CO(2-1) mapping and JWST near- and mid-infrared imaging, we characterize the relationship between CO(2-1) and polycyclic aro…

PHANGS-HST: Globular Cluster Systems in 17 Nearby Spiral Galaxies

Matthew Floyd, Rupali Chandar, Bradley C. Whitmore +18

We present new catalogs of likely globular clusters (GCs) in 17 nearby spiral galaxies studied as part of the PHANGS-HST Treasury Survey. The galaxies were imaged in five broad-ban…

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…

ALMA-LEGUS II: The Influence of Sub-Galactic Environment on Molecular Cloud Properties

Molly K. Finn, Kelsey E. Johnson, Remy Indebetouw +24

We compare the molecular cloud properties in sub-galactic regions of two galaxies, barred spiral NGC 1313, which is forming many massive clusters, and flocculent spiral NGC 7793, w…

ALMA-LEGUS I: The Influence of Galaxy Morphology on Molecular Cloud Properties

Molly K. Finn, Kelsey E. Johnson, Remy Indebetouw +24

We present a comparative study of the molecular gas in two galaxies from the LEGUS sample: barred spiral NGC 1313 and flocculent spiral NGC 7793. These two galaxies have similar ma…

PHANGS-JWST: Data Processing Pipeline and First Full Public Data Release

Thomas G. Williams, Janice C. Lee, Kirsten L. Larson +55

The exquisite angular resolution and sensitivity of JWST is opening a new window for our understanding of the Universe. In nearby galaxies, JWST observations are revolutionizing ou…

Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351

Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38

We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
