Notes. Lifetimes were measured from when the H II region reached 100 au in size. The “UC” column is thus the time spent in both the hypercompact (HC) and ultracompact (UC) phases before exiting into the compact phase. The asterisk (*) indicates that the given threshold (e.g., passing from hypercompact to ultracompact) was never reached, so the lifetime of that phase was indefinite since it did not end.
