The Spatial Relation between Young Star Clusters and Molecular Clouds in M 51 with LEGUS
K. Grasha, D. Calzetti, A. Adamo +21
We present a study correlating the spatial locations of young star clusters with those of molecular clouds in NGC~5194, in order to investigate the timescale over which clusters se…
Connecting Young Star Clusters to CO Molecular Gas in NGC 7793 with ALMA-LEGUS
K. Grasha, D. Calzetti, L. Bittle +20
We present an investigation of the relationship between giant molecular cloud (GMC) properties and the associated stellar clusters in the nearby flocculent galaxy NGC 7793. We comb…
A comparison of young star properties with local galactic environment for LEGUS/LITTLE THINGS dwarf irregular galaxies
Deidre A. Hunter, Angela Adamo, Bruce G. Elmegreen +25
We have explored the role environmental factors play in determining characteristics of young stellar objects in nearby dwarf irregular and Blue Compact Dwarf galaxies. Star cluster…
Search For Star Cluster Age Gradients Across Spiral Arms of Three LEGUS Disk Galaxies
F. Shabani, E. K. Grebel, A. Pasquali +20
One of the main theories for explaining the formation of spiral arms in galaxies is the stationary density wave theory. This theory predicts the existence of an age gradient across…
The young star cluster population of M51 with LEGUS - II. Testing environmental dependencies
M. Messa, A. Adamo, D. Calzetti +16
It has recently been established that the properties of young star clusters (YSCs) can vary as a function of the galactic environment in which they are found. We use the cluster ca…
Extinction Maps and Dust-to-Gas Ratios in Nearby Galaxies with LEGUS
L. Kahre, R. A. Walterbos, H. Kim +44
We present a study of the dust-to-gas ratios in five nearby galaxies NGC 628 (M74), NGC 6503, NGC 7793, UGC 5139 (Holmberg I), and UGC 4305 (Holmberg II). Using Hubble Space Telesc…
Star Formation Histories of the LEGUS Dwarf Galaxies (I): recent History of NGC1705, NGC4449 and Holmberg II
M. Cignoni, E. Sacchi, A. Aloisi +19
We use HST observations from the Legacy Extragalactic UV Survey to reconstruct the recent star formation histories (SFHs) of three actively star-forming dwarf galaxies, NGC4449, Ho…
A study of two dwarf irregular galaxies with asymmetrical star formation distributions
Deidre A. Hunter, Samavarti Gallardo, Hong-Xin Zhang +23
Two dwarf irregular galaxies DDO 187 and NGC 3738 exhibit a striking pattern of star formation: intense star formation is taking place in a large region occupying roughly half of t…
The resolved stellar populations in the LEGUS galaxies
E. Sabbi, D. Calzetti, L. Ubeda +52
The Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) is a multiwavelength Cycle 21 Treasury program on the Hubble Space Telescope. It studied 50 nearby star-forming galaxies in five bands fr…
