Universal Upper End of the Stellar Initial Mass Function in the Young and Compact LEGUS clusters

Dooseok Escher Jung, Daniela Calzetti, Matteo Messa +21

We investigate the variation in the upper end of stellar initial mass function (uIMF) in 375 young and compact star clusters in five nearby galaxies within Mpc. All the yo…

The X-ray Binary-Star Cluster Connection in Late-Type Galaxies

Qiana Hunt, Rupali Chandar, Elena Gallo +3

We conduct one of the largest systematic investigations of bright X-ray binaries (XRBs) in both young star clusters and ancient globular clusters (GCs) using a sample of six nearby…

A Tale of 3 Dwarfs: No Extreme Cluster Formation in Extreme Star-Forming Galaxies

Rupali Chandar, Miranda Caputo, Angus Mok +8

Nearly all current simulations predict that outcomes of the star formation process, such as the fraction of stars that form in bound clusters (Gamma), depend on the intensity of st…

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…

Arp 220: A Post-Starburst Galaxy With Little Star Formation Outside of It's Nuclear Disks

R. Chandar, M. Caputo, S. Linden +8

The ultra-luminous infrared galaxy Arp2 20 is a late-stage merger with several tidal structures in the outskirts and two very compact, dusty nuclei that show evidence for extreme s…

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…
