PHANGS: Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS

Star formation in galaxies is determined by the efficiency of the conversion of gas to stars and stellar feedback that shapes the reservoir of gas for future star formation. I will introduce the ALMA Large Program PHANGS (Physics at High ANgular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS) in this talk. The goal of PHANGS is to study the link between the small-scale (~100 pc) physics of star formation and their host-galaxy properties. This is done by sampling the full time sequence of star formation process in 74 local galaxies, from molecular gas (ALMA), to HII regions (VLT/MUSE, MPG2.2-m, and du Pont telescopes), and to young stellar clusters (HST). I will show some analysis efforts made by the team and data products soon to be released.
