Physical Properties of Molecular Clouds in the Overlap Region of the Merging Antennae Galaxies

Grace Krahm, Molly K. Finn, Remy Indebetouw +3

As the closest major galaxy merger and home to thousands of super star clusters (SSCs), the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 and NGC 4039) are an important location to study the molecul…

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…

How Informal Science Education Influences Elementary Students' Perceptions of Science and Themselves

Molly K Finn, Renato Mazzei, Blake Drechsler +4

Underrepresentation in STEM fields starts early, with elementary students already showing differences based on gender and race in their interest in science, belief in their ability…

Sequential Star Formation in the Young SMC Region NGC 602: Insights from ALMA

Theo J. O'Neill, Remy Indebetouw, Karin Sandstrom +7

NGC 602 is a young, low-metallicity star cluster in the "Wing" of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We reveal the recent evolutionary past of the cluster through analysis of high-resolut…

Structural and Dynamical Analysis of the Quiescent Molecular Ridge in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Molly K. Finn, Remy Indebetouw, Kelsey E. Johnson +9

We present a comparison of low-J 13CO and CS observations of four different regions in the LMC -- the quiescent Molecular Ridge, 30 Doradus, N159, and N113, all at a resolution of…

Embedded Young Massive Star Clusters in the Antennae Merger

Hao He, Christine Wilson, Nathan Brunetti +3

The properties of young massive clusters (YMCs) are key to understanding the star formation mechanism in starburst systems, especially mergers. We present ALMA high-resolution ($\s…

Towards a More Complex Understanding of Natal Super Star Clusters with Multiwavelength Observations

Allison H Costa, Kelsey E. Johnson, Remy Indebetouw +3

Henize 2-10 (He 2-10) is a nearby (D = 9 Mpc) starbursting blue compact dwarf galaxy that boasts a high star formation rate and a low luminosity AGN. He 2-10 is also one of the fir…

Physical Conditions in the LMC's Quiescent Molecular Ridge: Fitting Non-LTE Models to CO Emission

Molly K. Finn, Remy Indebetouw, Kelsey E. Johnson +8

The Molecular Ridge in the LMC extends several kiloparsecs south from 30 Doradus, and it contains ~30% of the molecular gas in the entire galaxy. However, the southern end of the M…

Looking for obscured young star clusters in NCG 1313

M. Messa, D. Calzetti, A. Adamo +7

Using recently acquired HST NIR observations (J, Pa and H bands) of the nearby galaxy NGC1313, we investigate the timescales required by a young star cluster to emerge from its…

The formation of young massive clusters triggered by cloud-cloud collisions in the Antennae Galaxies NGC 4038/NGC 4039

Kisetsu Tsuge, Yasuo Fukui, Kengo Tachihara +5

The formation mechanism of super star clusters (SSCs), a present-day analog of the ancient globulars, still remains elusive. The major merger, the Antennae galaxies is forming SSCs…

New Insights into the Physical Conditions and Internal Structure of a Candidate Proto-Globular Cluster

Molly K. Finn, Kelsey E. Johnson, Crystal L. Brogan +5

We present 0.1" resolution (10 pc) ALMA observations of a molecular cloud identified in the merging Antennae galaxies with the potential to form a globular cluster, nic…
