This paper is the second in a series presenting the catalogs and properties of the largest sample to date of ∼100,000 star clusters and compact associations, in 38 spiral galaxies observed by the PHANGS-HST Treasury survey. Here, we present spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting techniques used to compute the age, mass, and reddening for each

Massive young clusters with rich populations of high-mass stars are ideal laboratories to explore their evolutionary paths. Despite being the most prominent cluster in the Perseus-arm Cas OB8 association, NGC 663 remains comparatively little studied. We present a comprehensive investigation of its properties, integrating astrometric, photometric

The process of active galactic nuclei (AGN) fuelling relies on the transport of gas across several orders of magnitude in physical scale until the gas reaches the supermassive black hole at the centre of a galaxy. This work explores the role of kinematically misaligned gas in the fuelling of AGN in a sample of 4769 local galaxies from the Mapping

Luminous and ultraluminous IR galaxies are critical for investigating feedback mechanisms due to a combination of intense star formation episodes and active galactic nuclei (AGN), particularly in the context of complex galaxy interactions. We conduct a detailed analysis of the II ZW 096 merging system using the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer on

Ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are ideal for studying dark matter (DM) due to minimal baryonic effects. UFD observations suggest cored DM profiles. We find that the core radius–stellar mass scaling predicted by fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is at 6 . 1 σ tension with UFD observations. Combining observations from 27 UFDs, the required FDM mass m a = 3

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a Milky Way (MW) satellite that is massive enough to gravitationally attract the MW disc and inner halo, causing significant motion of the inner MW with respect to the outer halo. In this work, we probe this interaction by constructing a sample of 9866 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars with radial velocities
