Spatial distribution of young clusters (﹩\mathrm{log}\,[ \mathrm{age}\,\ ( \mathrm{yr}\,) ] < 8.0﹩) in M51 from our sample (open circles) and intermediate‐age clusters (﹩\mathrm{log}\,[ \mathrm{age}\,\ ( \mathrm{yr}\,) ] \geq 8.0﹩; open squares). For clusters in field 5 for which only V and I filters are available, we show clusters with ﹩V-I< 0.7﹩ in blue and those with ﹩V-I\geq 0.7﹩ in red. The crosses show H II regions on the spiral arm (Rand 1992), and dots mark the locations of H II regions in the center of NGC 5194 from Scoville et al. (2001). The open star marks the location of the center of NGC 5195. Note that the portions that only show H II regions and no apparent clusters are due to gaps in the coverage of the WFPC2 pointings (see Fig. 1 for the WFPC2 pointings used in this work).
