DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Janice Lee (Space Telescope Science Institute & Obse
 rvatoire Côte d'Azur)\n\nThe PHANGS-HST and JWST Treasury Programs have p
 roduced the most extensive inventories to date of optically visible and du
 st-obscured star clusters across nearby galaxies.\nA coherent picture is e
 merging of the earliest phases of star formation\, built from complementar
 y studies that consistently point to short dust-clearing timescales (~3 My
 r)\, in agreement with earlier optical studies. Together\, these results u
 nderscore the central role of early\, pre-supernova feedback in regulating
  the star formation cycle.\nDrawing on the statistical power of tens of th
 ousands of clusters spanning dozens of galaxies\, I will synthesize what P
 HANGS and related programs have revealed about cluster evolution\, feedbac
 k\, and the use of clusters as “clocks” for timing key phases of star 
 formation. Looking ahead\, I will highlight work on the Habitable Worlds O
 bservatory\, NASA’s next flagship astrophysics mission after Roman\, whi
 ch will operate as a true “Super-Hubble\,” with UV–optical capabilit
 ies to transform our understanding of star formation and fields across ast
 rophysics.\n\nhttps://indico.iparcos.ucm.es/event/55/
