    H α fluxes and extinction distances for planetary nebulae in the IPHAS survey of the northern galactic plane
    We report H α filter photometry for 197 Northern hemisphere planetary nebulae (PNe) obtained using imaging data from the IPHAS survey. H α+[N II] fluxes were...

    H α morphologies of star clusters: a LEGUS study of H II region evolution time-scales and stochasticity in low-mass clusters
    The morphology of H II regions around young star clusters provides insight into the time-scales and physical processes that clear a cluster's natal gas. We...
