Clumps in high-redshift spiral galaxies are smaller than commonly reported, spatially concentrated toward spiral arms, smaller but brighter inside arms than between them, with similar colors, suggesting arms stimulate clump formation but do not alter their star formation properties.

Morphological metrics in galaxy images suffer systematic biases from resolution, depth, and noise that can be quantified and corrected empirically, with new metrics proposed to reduce those effects.
Clumpy galaxies at cosmic noon show systematically lower metallicities than the mass-metallicity relation, with clump properties indicating metal-poor gas accretion as the driver rather than mergers.

Clumps in spiral galaxies at $z \lesssim 3$: Disentangling two spatial modes of star formation
Clumps in high-redshift spiral galaxies are smaller than commonly reported, spatially concentrated toward spiral arms, smaller but brighter inside arms than between them, with similar colors, suggesting arms stimulate clump formation but do not alter their star formation properties.

Metal-Poor Gas Accretion Drives Giant Clump Formation at 0.6 < z < 2.6
Clumpy galaxies at cosmic noon show systematically lower metallicities than the mass-metallicity relation, with clump properties indicating metal-poor gas accretion as the driver rather than mergers.
