PHANGS-HST


Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS

About PHANGS-HST

PHANGS (Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS) is the principal ALMA Large Program for nearby galaxies, which has obtained CO (2-1) maps for a complete sample of 74 spiral galaxies. PHANGS-HST will build the first astronomical dataset charting the connections between young stars and cold molecular gas throughout a diversity of galactic environments by imaging the 38 galaxies from PHANGS sample best suited for study of resolved stars, stellar associations, and star clusters.

NGC-7496 upcoming JWST observation

NEW !

 

NGC-7496 is the first PHANGS-JWST galaxy scheduled to be imaged by JWST under program 2107.                    

JWST Cycle 1 Treasury Program

A JWST Cycle 1 Treasury Program to image 19/38 galaxies with full coverage by ALMA/MUSE/HST with NIRCAM and MIRI has been approved. A January 2022 article entitled Capturing All That Glitters in Galaxies With NASA’s Webb provides an overview of the PHANGS-JWST survey understandable to the public.

PHANGS-CAT Data Release 1 (2022)

NEW !

 

PHANGS-CAT DR1 at MAST provides catalogs for compact clusters and a separate set of catalogs for multi-scale associations for five galaxies: NGC 1433, NGC 1566, NGC 1559, NGC 3351, and NGC 3627. Please see the PHANGS-CAT site at MAST for more information.

PHANGS-HST Data Releases 1 & 2 (2021)

 

PHANGS-HST DR1 & DR2 at MAST provides imaging for all 38 galaxies in the sample, as well as visualization tools, and neural network models for star cluster morphological classification. Please see the PHANGS HST site at MAST for more information.

Bokeh visualization tool

Here is the temporary link to the PHANGS-HST Bokeh visualization tool used to display the stellar cluster catalogues.

HST and ALMA: Probing the life-cycle of star formation regions

PHANGS-HST and PHANGS-ALMA observations of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC1559. The high angular resolution afforded by HST allows for the identification of individual young star clusters that have just emerged from their birth cloud as seen by ALMA.

The molecular gas distribution from ALMA is remarkably similar to the dust lanes seen in optical light.
