We apply the angular two-point correlation function (TPCF) to the spatial distribution of young star clusters (YSCs) in four nearby star forming galaxies (NGC 628, NGC 4449, M51, and M83) in order to investigate their underlying…

We use the angular Two Point Correlation Function (TPCF) to investigate the hierarchical distribution of young star clusters in 12 local (3--18 Mpc) star-forming galaxies using star cluster catalogues obtained with the \textit{Hubble Space…

We present a study of the hierarchical clustering of the young stellar clusters in six local (3--15 Mpc) star-forming galaxies using Hubble Space Telescope broad band WFC3/UVIS UV and optical images from the Treasury Program LEGUS (Legacy…

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 star clusters (YSCs) in 26 nearby star-forming galaxies.…

We present a new catalog and results for the cluster system of the starburst galaxy NGC 4449 based on multi-band imaging observations taken as part of the LEGUS and Halpha-LEGUS surveys. We improve the spectral energy fitting method used to…

Hierarchical structure in young star fields has been demonstrated in a variety of ways, including two point correlation functions (TPCFs) that are power laws for spatial scales up to at least several hundred parsecs. As the stars age, this…
