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…
PHANGS-MUSE: Detection and Bayesian classification of ~40000 ionised nebulae in nearby spiral galaxies
Enrico Congiu, Guillermo A. Blanc, Francesco Belfiore +15
In this work, we present a new catalogue of >40000 ionised nebulae distributed across the 19 galaxies observed by the PHANGS-MUSE survey. The nebulae have been classified using a n…
Quantifying the energetics of molecular superbubbles in PHANGS galaxies
E. J. Watkins, K. Kreckel, B. Groves +26
Star formation and stellar feedback are interlinked processes that redistribute energy and matter throughout galaxies. When young, massive stars form in spatially clustered environ…
The PHANGS-MUSE Nebula Catalogue
B. Groves, K. Kreckel, F. Santoro +17
Ionized nebulae provide critical insights into the conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM). Their bright emission lines enable the measurement of physical properties, such as t…
Improving Star Cluster Age Estimates in PHANGS-HST Galaxies and the Impact on Cluster Demographics in NGC 628
Bradley C. Whitmore, Rupali Chandar, Janice C. Lee +29
A long-standing problem when deriving the physical properties of stellar populations is the degeneracy between age, reddening, and metallicity. When a single metallicity is used fo…
