Composite Bulges. III. A Study of Nuclear Star Clusters in Nearby Spiral Galaxies

We present photometric and morphological analyses of nuclear star clusters (NSCs)—very dense, massive star clusters present in the central regions of most galaxies—in a sample of 33 massive disk galaxies within 20 Mpc, part of the “Composite Bulges Survey.” We use data from the Hubble Space Telescop...
