The HII Regions' Molecular Law of Star Formation
Daniela Calzetti, Drew Lapeer, Robert C. Kennicutt +28
We combine imaging data from the HST, JWST, and ground-based millimeter facilities to investigate the correlation between star formation rate (SFR) and molecular gas at the ~100 pc…
The emerging timescale of young star clusters regulated by cluster stellar mass
Alex Pedrini, Angela Adamo, Daniela Calzetti +23
Quantifying the timescales of star cluster emergence from their natal clouds remains one of the main challenges in understanding the star formation process. These timescales are fu…
Galaxy UV Legacy Project: Survey Description and First Insights Into NGC 4449 Recent History of Star Formation
E. Sabbi, B. Meena, P. Zeidler +18
The Galaxy UV Legacy Project (GULP) is a Cycle 28 Treasury program with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) designed to characterize resolved massive stars, OB associations, and young…
The Spatial Evolution of Star Clusters in NGC 628 with JWST
Anne S. M. Buckner, Ana Duarte-Cabral, Angela Adamo +23
We examine the spatial distribution of star clusters in NGC 628 using the statistical tool INDICATE to quantify clustering tendencies. Our sample, based on HST and JWST observation…
Ashes of Creation: JWST Uncovers Silicate Dust in Massive Star Clusters
Daniel Maschmann, Bradley C. Whitmore, David A. Thilker +35
Dust production is a fundamental aspect of the baryonic cycle of star formation. It is known that dust is injected into the interstellar medium during early star formation by super…
Isolated massive star candidates in NGC 4242 with GULP
Pietro Facchini, Eva K. Grebel, Anna Pasquali +16
There is considerable debate on how massive stars form, including whether a high-mass star must always form with a population of low-mass stars or whether it ca…
