Tracing the Ionization Structure of the Shocked Filaments of NGC 6240
Anne M. Medling, Lisa J. Kewley, Daniela Calzetti +14
We study the ionization and excitation structure of the interstellar medium in the late-stage gas-rich galaxy merger NGC 6240 using a suite of emission line maps at 25 pc res…
Massive Star Cluster Formation and Destruction in Luminous Infrared Galaxies in GOALS II: An ACS/WFC3 Survey of Nearby LIRGs
Sean Linden, Aaron Evans, Kirsten Larson +14
We present the results of a Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 near-UV and ACS/WFC optical study into the star cluster populations of 10 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (U/L…
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…
A Comparison between Nuclear Ring Star Formation in LIRGs and Normal Galaxies with the Very Large Array
Y. Song, S. T. Linden, A. S. Evans +16
Nuclear rings are excellent laboratories for studying intense star formation. We present results from a study of nuclear star-forming rings in five nearby normal galaxies from the…
PHANGS-HST: New Methods for Star Cluster Identification in Nearby Galaxies
David A. Thilker, Bradley C. Whitmore, Janice C. Lee +14
We present an innovative and widely applicable approach for the detection and classification of stellar clusters, developed for the PHANGS-HST Treasury Program, an -to- ban…
PHANGS-ALMA: Arcsecond CO(2-1) Imaging of Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies
Adam K. Leroy, Eva Schinnerer, Annie Hughes +69
We present PHANGS-ALMA, the first survey to map CO J=2-1 line emission at ~1" ~ 100pc spatial resolution from a representative sample of 90 nearby (d<~20 Mpc) galaxies that lie on…
Giant Molecular Cloud Catalogues for PHANGS-ALMA: Methods and Initial Results
Erik Rosolowsky, Annie Hughes, Adam K. Leroy +26
We present improved methods for segmenting CO emission from galaxies into individual molecular clouds, providing an update to the CPROPS algorithms presented by Rosolowsky & Leroy…
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…
The PHANGS-HST Survey: Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS with the Hubble Space Telescope
Janice C. Lee, Bradley C. Whitmore, David A. Thilker +51
The PHANGS program is building the first dataset to enable the multi-phase, multi-scale study of star formation across the nearby spiral galaxy population. This effort is enabled b…
