The CMDs/TRGB (Color-Magnitude Diagrams/Tip of the Red Giant Branch) section of the Extragalactic Distance Database contains a compilation of observations of nearby galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope. Approximately 250 (and increasing) galaxies in the Local Volume have CMDs and the stellar photometry tables used to produce them available through the web. Various stellar populations that make up a galaxy are visible in the CMDs, but our primary purpose for collecting and analyzing these galaxy images is to measure the TRGB in each. We can estimate the distance to a galaxy by using stars at the TRGB as standard candles. In this paper we describe the process of constructing the CMDs and make the results available to the public.

Unveiling Metal Mixing in a Grand-Design Spiral: A UV-optical multiphase spatially resolved study of M83
Multiphase abundance mapping of M83 reveals a persistent roughly 1.5 dex nitrogen excess in ionized gas relative to neutral gas around young clusters, indicating slow metal mixing in a massive spiral.

Exploring the synergies of $[\mathrm{O\,II}]\lambda 3727$ with MUSE spectroscopy in PHANGS H II regions
Combining [O II] doublet data with MUSE spectra creates a homogeneous H II region catalog and compares strong-line metallicity calibrations, showing low scatter in radial gradients and [S III]/[S II] as a robust ioniz...
