The extragalactic science of the KMOS VVVX-GalCen spectroscopic survey II: Discovery of a galaxy cluster at z = 0.089 behind the Galactic plane
E. O. Schmidt, C. Valotto, C. Villalon +33
The Zone of Avoidance (ZoA) continues to represent the most significant incompleteness in the extragalactic census of the Local Universe. It is evident that photometric surveys alo…
A Novel Approach to 3D Dust Mapping of the Central Molecular Zone
Arianna Vasini, Mattia C. Sormani, Jason L. Sanders +13
The 3D distribution of dust and gas in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is key to understanding gas inflows towards the Galactic Centre (GC), the process of star format…
ACES VIII: A Survey of Compact, High-Velocity Features Observed in CS(2-1)
Dani R. Lipman, Jakub Poznanski, Savannah R. Gramze +46
The extreme kinematics of the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) are influenced by processes such as dynamical shearing, cloud collisions, and stellar feedback. These events…
ACES VII. Compact Continuum Source Catalog of the Central Molecular Zone
Jennifer Wallace, Cara Battersby, Nazar Budaiev +58
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) resides in the inner few hundred parsecs of our Galaxy, and despite being the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Milky Way, it has a r…
Electron temperature and emission measure of HII regions in the central molecular zone (CMZ) from H40 αrecombination line and continuum emissions by ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey - ACES -
Yoshiaki Sofue, Steven N. Longmore, Daniel Walker +40
Star formation activity in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) directly manifests itself as radio continuum free-free emission (Bremsstrahlung) and radio recombination line emission f…
Constraining young massive cluster properties with radio-continuum observations: The Arches cluster
M. Cano-González, R. Schödel, A. Alberdi +4
The Arches cluster, located in the Galactic Centre (GC) is one of the best astrophysical laboratories to study the properties of massive stars and young massive clusters (YMCs). Ho…
The Nearest Galactic Nucleus: Studying the Galactic Centre with SKA-Mid
Rainer Schoedel, Antxon Alberdi, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +24
The Galactic Centre is the nearest nucleus of a galaxy and the most extreme environment that we can observe down to physical scales of a few hundred astronomical units. There is no…
Reconstructing the orbits of Milky Way dwarf galaxies: A Large Magellanic Cloud perspective
Alberto Manuel Martínez-García, Andrés del Pino, Roeland P. van der Marel +14
The orbital histories of the dwarf satellites of the Milky Way (MW) are key to understanding their evolution and placing their present-day properties in a dynamical context. We pre…
Kinematic hints of a nuclear bar in the Milky Way
Karl Fiteni, Mattia C. Sormani, Victor P. Debattista +8
The Milky Way hosts a flattened nuclear stellar disc (NSD) that dominates the gravitational potential in the inner few hundred parsecs. Whether the NSD is purely axisymmetric or co…
3D CMZ V: A new orbital model of our Galaxy's Center, informed by data across the electromagnetic spectrum
Dani R. Lipman, Cara Battersby, Daniel Walker +9
The 3D structure of The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) informs our understanding of star formation cycles, black hole accretion, and the evolution of galactic nuclei. How…
Kinematic diagnostics for non-axisymmetry in the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc
Karl Fiteni, Xingchen Li, Mattia C. Sormani +8
There is now strong evidence that the Milky Way (MW) hosts a nuclear stellar disc (NSD). However, whether the NSD is purely axisymmetric or contains a nuclear bar remains unresolve…
Reconciling 3D Models for the Central 10 parsecs of the Milky Way
Elisabeth A. C. Mills, Natalie O. Butterfield, Hauyu Baobab Liu +13
The construction of an accurate 3D model of the Milky Way center is necessary to understand inflow processes that drive its overall evolution, and to compare our Galactic nucleus t…

We release the intermediate-width spectral window data from the ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES) Large Program, which covers SiO(2-1), SO(2_2-1_1), H13CO+(1-0)…
ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES) I: Overview
Steven N. Longmore, John Bally, Ashley T. Barnes +95
The mass flows and energy cycles within the inner regions of galaxies exert a powerful influence on the evolution of the galaxy population. The centre of the Milky Way is the only…
