Title: The Clustering of Young Stellar Clusters in Nearby Galaxies

Abstract:
We present measurements of clustering among star clusters for several galaxies drawn from the 
Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS), in order to establish whether the clustering strength 
depends on properties of the cluster population.  We use the two point autocorrelation function 
to study clustering as a function of spatial scale, age, concentration index (CI), and mass.  We 
separate the clusters into different classes, defined by their (a)symmetry and number of peaks, 
comparing the trends of the autocorrelation functions between all the cluster classes.  We find 
that, in general, younger and less concentrated star clusters are more strongly clustered, which 
is what is expected if star clusters disperse with ageing.  We also measure the power-law slope 
and amplitude of the autocorrelation functions and discuss the results.
