Citizen Science Identification of Isolated Blue Stellar Systems in the Virgo Cluster

Citizen Science Identification of Isolated Blue Stellar Systems in the Virgo Cluster

We present a catalog of 34 new candidate (13 high confidence) isolated, young stellar systems within the Virgo galaxy cluster identified through a citizen science search of public optical and ultraviolet imaging. “Blue blobs” are a class of blue, faint, isolated, extremely low stellar mass, and meta...
