In Landau levels N > 1, the ground state of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a perpendicular magnetic field evolves from a Wigner crystal for small filling of the partially filled Landau level, into a succession of bubble states with increasing number of guiding centers per bubble as the filling increases, to a modulated stripe state near half filling. In this work, we show that these first-order phase transitions between the bubble states lead to measurable discontinuities in several physical quantities such as the density of states and the magnetization of the 2DEG. We discuss in detail the behavior of the collective excitations of the bubble states and show that their spectra have higher-energy modes besides the pinned phonon mode. The frequencies of these modes, at small wavevector k, have a discontinuous evolution as a function of filling factor that should be measurable in, for example, microwave absorption experiments.
