    The following data tables from the paper are available for downloading:

    • Full catalog of sources, in FITS or ASCII format. The ASCII versions have blank spaces where measurements are not present for objects. For the FITS files, a "-100" in the magnitude field indicates no data, and a value of -10 or 10 in the magnitude error field indicates no data. See Table 13 and 14 in the paper for a description of the table columns.
      • Full catalog of W51 sources, in FITS or ASCII format
      • Full catalog of W43 sources, in FITS or ASCII format
    • Table 6 - Properties of the Clusters in W51
    • Table 7 - Properties of the Clusters in W43
    • Table 10 - Physical Parameters of Massive YSO Candidates in W51
    • Table 11 - Physical Parameters of Massive YSO Candidates in W43
