Stellar associations powering HII regions $\unicode{x2013}$ II. Escape fraction of ionizing photons

Fabian Scheuermann, Kathryn Kreckel, Jia Wei Teh +27

Newly formed stars have a profound impact on their environment by depositing energy and momentum into the surrounding gas. However, only a fraction of the stellar feedback is retai…

PAH Marks the Spot: Digging for Buried Clusters in Nearby Star-forming Galaxies

Gabrielle B. Graham, Daniel A. Dale, Chase L. Smith +39

The joint capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and JWST allow for an unparalleled look at the early lives of star clusters at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. We pre…

PHANGS-ML: the universal relation between PAH band and optical line ratios across nearby star-forming galaxies

Dalya Baron, Karin Sandstrom, Jessica Sutter +22

The structure and chemistry of the dusty interstellar medium (ISM) are shaped by complex processes that depend on the local radiation field, gas composition, and dust grain propert…

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…

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…

Star Cluster Classification using Deep Transfer Learning with PHANGS-HST

Stephen Hannon, Bradley C. Whitmore, Janice C. Lee +17

Currently available star cluster catalogues from HST imaging of nearby galaxies heavily rely on visual inspection and classification of candidate clusters. The time-consuming natur…

Stellar associations powering HII regions $\unicode{x2013}$ I. Defining an evolutionary sequence

Fabian Scheuermann, Kathryn Kreckel, Ashley T. Barnes +30

Connecting the gas in HII regions to the underlying source of the ionizing radiation can help us constrain the physical processes of stellar feedback and how HII regions evolve ove…

Multi-Scale Stellar Associations across the Star Formation Hierarchy in PHANGS-HST Nearby Galaxies: Methodology and Properties

Kirsten L. Larson, Janice C. Lee, David A. Thilker +18

We develop a method to identify and determine the physical properties of stellar associations using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) NUV-U-B-V-I imaging of nearby galaxies from the PHA…

H Morphologies of Star Clusters: A LEGUS study of HII region evolution timescales and stochasticity in low mass clusters

Stephen Hannon, Janice C. Lee, B. C. Whitmore +25

The morphology of HII regions around young star clusters provides insight into the timescales and physical processes that clear a cluster's natal gas. We study ~700 young clusters…
