| Abstract: |
We study the entire star cluster population in the disk of M51 by using radius measurements, and we see evidence for a universal preferred radius for both young and old cluster populations and for an increased cluster formation rate at a galactocentric distance of ∼6 kpc, which is similar to the corotation radius. |
