3-D CMZ II: Hierarchical Structure Analysis of the Central Molecular Zone
Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley Barnes +16
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the way station at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy, connecting gas flowing in from Galactic scales with the central nucleus. Key open question…
3-D CMZ III: Constraining the 3-D structure of the Central Molecular Zone via molecular line emission and absorption
Daniel L. Walker, Cara Battersby, Dani Lipman +15
The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest concentration of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy, the structure of which is shaped by the complex interplay between Ga…
3-D CMZ I: Central Molecular Zone Overview
Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley Barnes +16
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy and is heavily obscured in the optical and near-IR. We present an overview of the far…
3-D CMZ IV: Distinguishing Near vs. Far Distances in the Galactic Center Using Spitzer and Herschel
Dani Lipman, Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker +15
A comprehensive 3-D model of the central 300 pc of the Milky Way, the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is of fundamental importance in understanding energy cycles in galactic nuclei, s…
Do stars still form in molecular gas within CO-dark dwarf galaxies?
David J. Whitworth, Rowan J. Smith, Simon C. O. Glover +6
In the Milky Way and other main-sequence galaxies, stars form exclusively in molecular gas, which is traced by CO emission. However, low metallicity dwarf galaxies are often `CO-da…
Self-consistent modelling of the Milky Way structure using live potentials
Eva Durán-Camacho, Ana Duarte-Cabral, Alex R. Pettitt +6
To advance our understanding of the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, numerical models of Milky Way (MW) type galaxies are widely used. However, most models…
Testing kinematic distances under a realistic Galactic potential
Glen H. Hunter, Mattia C. Sormani, Jan P. Beckmann +15
Obtaining reliable distance estimates to gas clouds within the Milky Way is challenging in the absence of certain tracers. The kinematic distance approach has been used as an alter…
Magnetic field morphology and evolution in the Central Molecular Zone and its effect on gas dynamics
R. G. Tress, M. C. Sormani, P. Girichidis +34
The interstellar medium in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is known to be strongly magnetised, but its large-scale morphology and impact on the gas dynamics are not we…
Cloud properties across spatial scales in simulations of the interstellar medium
Tine Colman, Noé Brucy, Philipp Girichidis +9
Molecular clouds (MC) are structures of dense gas in the interstellar medium (ISM), that extend from ten to a few hundred parsecs and form the main gas reservoir available for star…
Hidden Gems on a Ring: Infant Massive Clusters and Their Formation Timeline Unveiled by ALMA, HST, and JWST in NGC 3351
Jiayi Sun, Hao He, Kyle Batschkun +38
We study young massive clusters (YMCs) in their embedded "infant" phase with ALMA, HST, and JWST observations targeting the central starburst ring in NGC…
