Circumgalactic Gas and the Precipitation Limit
G. M. Voit, A. Babul, Iu. Babyk +15
During the last decade, numerous and varied observations, along with increasingly sophisticated numerical simulations, have awakened astronomers to the central role the circumgalac…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: The Local Relics of of Supermassive Black Hole Seeds
Jenny E Greene, Aaron Barth, Andrea Bellini +18
We have compelling evidence for stellar-mass black holes (BHs) of ~5-80 M_sun that form through the death of massive stars. We also have compelling evidence for so-called supermass…
Twelve Decades: Probing the Interstellar Medium from kiloparsec to sub-AU scales
Dan Stinebring, Shami Chatterjee, Susan E. Clark +15
After a decade of great progress in understanding gas flow into, out of, and through the Milky Way, we are poised to merge observations with simulations to build a comprehensive pi…
Envisioning the next decade of Galactic Center science: a laboratory for the study of the physics and astrophysics of supermassive black holes
Tuan Do, Andrea Ghez, Jessica R. Lu +38
As the closest example of a galactic nucleus, the Galactic center (GC) presents an exquisite laboratory for learning about supermassive black holes (SMBH) and their environment. We…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Science at the edges: internal kinematics of globular clusters' external fields
A. Bellini, M. Libralato, J. Anderson +17
The outer regions of globular clusters can enable us to answer many fundamental questions concerning issues ranging from the formation and evolution of clusters and their multiple…
Testing stellar cusp formation theories with observations of the Milky Way nuclear star cluster
Tuan Do, Andrea M. Ghez, Mark R. Morris +5
(Abridged) We report on the structure of the nuclear star cluster in the innermost 0.16 pc of the Galaxy as measured by the number density profile of late-type giants. Using laser…
