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.

Data products public release

The eventual public release of joint HST-ALMA data products revealing the detailed properties of stellar clusters and gas clouds will be a key part of the PHANGS legacy and help lay the scientific groundwork for future facilities such as the James Webb Space Telescope.

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.
