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

Context. Theories of the formation and evolution of small bodies in planetary systems predict that they may escape into interstellar space at any time, leaked from extrasolar Oort clouds or ejected following close encounters with local planets or their host stars. After just two such interlopers – 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua) and 2I/Borisov – had been

We present new K-band spectroscopy for the giant elliptical galaxy M87 in the Virgo cluster, taken with the Large Binocular Telescope Utility Camera in the Infrared (LUCI) spectrograph at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). The new data are used to study line strengths of K-band absorption features from different chemical species, namely Fe, Mg
