Identifying Compton-thick active galactic nuclei in the COSMOS. II. Searching among mid-infrared selected AGNs

Xiaotong Guo, Qiusheng Gu, Guanwen Fang +7

Compton-thick active galactic nuclei (CT-AGNs), defined by column density , are so heavily absorbed that their X-ray e…

The Starburst Acceleration of High-Velocity Clouds in the Galactic Center

Mengfei Zhang, Miao Li, Peixin Zhu

High-velocity clouds (HVCs) in the Galactic center have garnered significant attention due to their mysterious formation, potentially linked to starburst events or supermassive bla…

Chandra X-ray Measurement of Gas-phase Heavy Element Abundances in the Central Parsec of the Galaxy

Ziqian Hua, Zhiyuan Li, Mengfei Zhang +2

Elemental abundances are key to our understanding of star formation and evolution in the Galactic center. Previous work on this topic has been based on infrared (IR) observations,…

A Supernova-driven, Magnetically-collimated Outflow as the Origin of the Galactic Center Radio Bubbles

Mengfei Zhang, Zhiyuan Li, Mark R. Morris

A pair of non-thermal radio bubbles recently discovered in the inner few hundred parsecs of the Galactic center bears a close spatial association with elongated, thermal X-ray feat…

Extended radio AGN at z ~ 1 in the ORELSE survey: The confining effect of dense environments

Lu Shen, Guilin Liu, Mengfei Zhang +16

Recent hydrodynamic simulations and observations of radio jets have shown that the surrounding environment has a large effect on their resulting morphology. To investigate this we…

The Distance Measurements of Supernova Remnants in The Fourth Galactic Quadrant

Su-Su Shan, Hui Zhu, Wen-Wu Tian +3

We take advantage of the red clump stars to build the relation of the optical extinction (AV) and distance in each direction of supernova remnants (SNRs) with known extinction in t…

How does the stellar wind influence the radio morphology of a supernova remnant?

M. F. Zhang, W. W. Tian, D. Wu

We simulate the evolutions of the stellar wind and the supernova remnant (SNR) originating from a runaway massive star in an uniform Galactic environment based on the three-dimensi…

The gas-to-extinction ratio and the gas distribution in the Galaxy

Hui Zhu, Wenwu Tian, Aigen Li +1

We investigate the relation between the optical extinction () and the hydrogen column density () determined from X-ray observations of a large sample of Galactic sightlin…
