Self-consistent modelling of the Milky Way's Nuclear Stellar Disc
Mattia C. Sormani, Jason L. Sanders, Tobias K. Fritz +14
The Nuclear Stellar Disc (NSD) is a flattened high-density stellar structure that dominates the gravitational field of the Milky Way at Galactocentric radius $30\lesssim R\lesssim…
A wind-blown bubble in the Central Molecular Zone cloud G0.253+0.016
J. D. Henshaw, M. R. Krumholz, N. O. Butterfield +16
G0.253+0.016, commonly referred to as "the Brick" and located within the Central Molecular Zone, is one of the densest ( cm) molecular clouds in the Galaxy…
A proper motion catalogue for the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc
B. Shahzamanian, R. Schoedel, F. Nogueras-Lara +5
We present the results of a large-scale proper motion study of the central ~36'x16' of the Milky Way, based on our high angular resolution GALACTICNUCLEUS survey (epoch 2015) combi…
Radio observations of massive stars in the Galactic centre: The Quintuplet cluster
A. T. Gallego-Calvente, R. Schoedel, A. Alberdi +4
We present high-angular-resolution radio continuum observations of the Quintuplet cluster, one of the most emblematic massive clusters in the Galactic centre. Data were acquired in…
GALACTICNUCLEUS: A high-angular-resolution imaging survey of the Galactic centre. IV. Extinction maps and de-reddened photometry
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Nadine Neumayer
The extreme extinction (\,mag) and its variation on arc-second scales towards the Galactic centre hamper the study of its stars. Their analysis is restricted to the near…
Distance and extinction to the Milky Way spiral arms along the Galactic centre line of sight
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Nadine Neumayer
The position of the Sun inside the Milky Way's disc hampers the study of the spiral arm structure. We aim to analyse the spiral arms along the line-of-sight towards the Galactic ce…
The nuclear star cluster and nuclear stellar disc of the Milky Way: Different stellar population and star formation history
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Nadine Neumayer
The Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc (NSD) and nuclear star cluster (NSC) are the main features of the Galactic centre. Nevertheless, their observation is hampered by the extreme s…
The Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc: A dynamically cool and metal-rich component formed from the Central Molecular Zone?
M. Schultheis, T. K. Fritz, G. Nandakumar +10
The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is, together with the nuclear star cluster (NSC) and the central massive black hole, one of the main components in the central parts of our Milky Way…
Distance to three molecular clouds in the central molecular zone
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Nadine Neumayer +1
The determination of absolute and relative distances of molecular clouds along the line-of-sight towards the central molecular zone (CMZ) is crucial to infer its orbital structure,…
