IRIS: Deciphering Spectral-Line Imagery of the Galactic Center by Machine-Learning on Simulations
B. L. DuBois, Cara Battersby, Jonah C. Baade +11
In understanding the 3D structure of the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), we are limited by our edge-on perspective. Towards addressing this problem, we introduce Imagery…
Mass Segregation in the CMZoom Survey
Stefania Schuler, Jen Wallace, Cara Battersby +5
We employ a Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) approach to characterize the spatial distribution and mass segregation of compact millimeter continuum sources within the Central Molecular…
ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES)-IV. Data of the two intermediate-width spectral windows
Xing Lu, Daniel L. Walker, Adam Ginsburg +61
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…
ALMA Central molecular zone Exploration Survey (ACES) III: Molecular line data reduction and HNCO and HCO data
Daniel L. Walker, Adam Ginsburg, Ashley T. Barnes +64
The ALMA Central molecular zone Exploration Survey (ACES) large program has observed the inner ~ 200 pc of the Milky Way at 3 mm (Band 3) using ALMA's 12m, 7m, and Total Power arra…
ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES) II: 3mm continuum images
Adam Ginsburg, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley T. Barnes +69
The ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey, ACES, has mapped square arcminutes at 3 mm toward the center of our Galaxy. ACES provides the first large-scale, h…
ALMA Central molecular zone Exploration Survey (ACES) VI: ALMA Large Program Reveals a Highly Filamentary Central Molecular Zone
Cara Battersby, Miriam G. Santa-Maria, Dani Lipman +44
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way is the way station that primarily controls how much gas flows from the disk of the Galaxy towards the central nucleus. While this…
3D MC I: X-ray Tomography Begins to Unravel the 3-D Structure of a Molecular Cloud in our Galaxy's Center
Samantha W. Brunker, Cara Battersby, Danya Alboslani +5
Astronomers have used observations of the Galactic gas and dust via infrared, microwave, and radio to study molecular clouds in extreme environments such as the Galactic center. Mo…
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…
SOFIA/FORCAST Galactic Center Source Catalog
Angela S. Cotera, Matthew J. Hankins, John Bally +12
The central regions of the Milky Way constitute a unique laboratory for a wide swath of astrophysical studies, consequently the inner 400 pc has been the target of numerous l…
CMZoom IV. Incipient High-Mass Star Formation Throughout the Central Molecular Zone
H Perry Hatchfield, Cara Battersby, Ashley T. Barnes +15
In this work, we constrain the star-forming properties of all possible sites of incipient high-mass star formation in the Milky Way's Galactic Center. We identify dense structures…
CMZoom III: Spectral Line Data Release
Daniel Callanan, Steven N. Longmore, Cara Battersby +21
We present an overview and data release of the spectral line component of the SMA Large Program, \textit{CMZoom}. \textit{CMZoom} observed CO(2-1), CO(2-1) and C$^{18…
