Comparing the pre-SNe feedback and environmental pressures for 6000 HII regions across 19 nearby spiral galaxies

A. T. Barnes, S. C. O. Glover, K. Kreckel +28

The feedback from young stars (i.e. pre-supernova) is thought to play a crucial role in molecular cloud destruction. In this paper, we assess the feedback mechanisms acting within…

ALMA observations of the Extended Green Object G19.010.03: I. A Keplerian disc in a massive protostellar system

Gwenllian M. Williams, Claudia J. Cyganowski, Crystal L. Brogan +6

Using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), we observed the Extended Green Object (EGO) G19.010.03 with sub-arcs…

Not the Birth Cluster: the Stellar Clustering that Shapes Planetary Systems is Generated by Galactic-Dynamical Perturbations

J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Steven N. Longmore, Mélanie Chevance +4

Recent work has demonstrated that exoplanetary system properties correlate strongly with ambient stellar clustering in six-dimensional stellar position-velocity phase space, quanti…

Exploring the link between star and planet formation with Ariel

Diego Turrini, Claudio Codella, Camilla Danielski +22

The goal of the Ariel space mission is to observe a large and diversified population of transiting planets around a range of host star types to collect information on their atmosph…

Stellar structures, molecular gas, and star formation across the PHANGS sample of nearby galaxies

M. Querejeta, E. Schinnerer, S. Meidt +32

We identify stellar structures in the PHANGS sample of 74 nearby galaxies and construct morphological masks of sub-galactic environments based on Spitzer 3.6 micron images. At the…

Star Cluster Classification in the PHANGS-HST Survey: Comparison between Human and Machine Learning Approaches

Bradley C. Whitmore, Janice C. Lee, Rupali Chandar +21

When completed, the PHANGS-HST project will provide a census of roughly 50,000 compact star clusters and associations, as well as human morphological classifications for roughly 20…

Dense molecular gas properties on 100 pc scales across the disc of NGC 3627

I. Bešlić, A. T. Barnes, F. Bigiel +29

It is still poorly constrained how the densest phase of the interstellar medium varies across galactic environment. A large observing time is required to recover significant emissi…

The centres of M83 and the Milky Way: opposite extremes of a common star formation cycle

Daniel Callanan, Steven N. Longmore, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +8

In the centres of the Milky Way and M83, the global environmental properties thought to control star formation are very similar. However, M83's nuclear star formation rate (SFR), a…

PHANGS-ALMA Data Processing and Pipeline

Adam K. Leroy, Annie Hughes, Daizhong Liu +65

We describe the processing of the PHANGS-ALMA survey and present the PHANGS-ALMA pipeline, a public software package that processes calibrated interferometric and total power data…

Star formation scaling relations at ~100 pc from PHANGS: Impact of completeness and spatial scale

I. Pessa, E. Schinnerer, F. Belfiore +31

Aims: The complexity of star formation at the physical scale of molecular clouds is not yet fully understood. We investigate the mechanisms regulating the formation of stars in dif…

New Constraints on the CO(2-1)/(1-0) Line Ratio Across Nearby Disc Galaxies

J. S. den Brok, D. Chatzigiannakis, F. Bigiel +18

Both the CO(2-1) and CO(1-0) lines are used to trace the mass of molecular gas in galaxies. Translating the molecular gas mass estimates between studies using different lines requi…

What to expect when using globular clusters as tracers of the total mass distribution in Milky Way-mass galaxies

Meghan E. Hughes, Prashin Jethwa, Michael Hilker +8

Dynamical models allow us to connect the motion of a set of tracers to the underlying gravitational potential, and thus to the total (luminous and dark) matter distribution. They a…

PHANGS-HST: Star Cluster Spectral Energy Distribution Fitting with CIGALE

Jordan A. Turner, Daniel A. Dale, Janice C. Lee +24

The sensitivity and angular resolution of photometric surveys executed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) enable studies of individual star clusters in galaxies out to a few tens…
