Rotation and stability of the circumnuclear gas disk in the Galactic Center potential by the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES)
Yoshiaki Sofue, Steven N. Longmore, Daniel Walker +26
We investigated the gravitational potential and mass distribution in the Galactic Center by examining the morphology and kinematics of the circumnuclear gaseous disk revealed by th…
The Emergence of Prebiotic Chemistry in the ISM
Izaskun Jimenez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino, Francisco Montenegro-Montes +22
Contrary to popular belief, the interstellar medium (ISM) is not empty; it is filled with atoms, dust particles, and molecules. Some of these molecules may have been the very build…
Mass Assembly and Chemical Complexity in the Milky Way
Pamela Klaassen, David Eden, Alessio Traficante +13
(Sub-)millimeter spectral lines can be used not only to understand the chemical complexity and enrichment history of an observed portion of our Galaxy, but with spectrally resolved…
The role of supernova remnants for the emergence of pre-biotic chemistry in molecular clouds
Giuliana Cosentino, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Laura Colzi +11
There is growing evidence that the Sun might have formed within a nebula impacted by at least one SNR. In this scenario, ejecta and shocks from SNRs may have provided the elements…
ACES: The Magnetic Field in Large Filaments in the Galactic Center
Dylan M. Paré, Zi-Xuan Feng, Yue Hu +33
The Galactic Center (GC) is an extreme region of the Milky Way that is host to a complex set of thermal and non-thermal structures. In particular, the GC contains high-density gas…
A detection of sulfur-bearing cyclic hydrocarbons in space
Mitsunori Araki, Miguel Sanz-Novo, Christian P. Endres +13
Molecules harbouring sulfur are thought to have played a key role in the biological processes of life on Earth, and thus, they are of much interest when found in space. Here we rep…
Nonthermal Pressures: Key to Energy Balance and Structure Formation Near Sgr A* in the Milky Way
Farideh Mazoochi, Fatemeh S. Tabatabaei, Ashley T. Barnes +14
The circumnuclear region of the Galactic Center offers a unique laboratory to study energy balance and structure formation around Sgr A. This work investigates thermal and n…
High-energy interstellar isomers: cis-N-methylformamide in the G+0.693-0.027 molecular cloud
S. Zeng, V. M. Rivilla, M. Sanz-Novo +8
Isomerism in complex organic molecules provides key insights into the formation mechanisms and physical conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM). Among the CHNO isomers,…
Measuring metal sulfides in interstellar dust with PRIMA
Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Shaoshan Zeng, Yao-Lun Yang +5
Sulfur is known to undergo severe depletion when moving from diffuse clouds to the denser regimes of the interstellar medium in molecular clouds. The form in which sulfur gets depl…
CHEMOUT: CHEMical complexity in star-forming regions of the OUTer Galaxy. V. Chemical composition gradients as a function of the galactocentric radius
D. Gigli, F. Fontani, L. Colzi +4
The outer Galaxy is characterized by a lower metallicity than regions near the Sun, suggesting differences in the formation and survival of molecules in star-forming regions. To un…
The GUAPOS project. VI: the chemical inventory of shocked gas
Á. López-Gallifa, V. M. Rivilla, M. T. Beltrán +8
The study of the chemical composition of star-forming regions is key to understanding the chemical ingredients available during the formation of planetary systems. Because the chem…
Chemical templates of the Central Molecular Zone. Shock and protostellar object signatures under Galactic Center conditions
Katarzyna M. Dutkowska, Gijs Vermariën, Serena Viti +21
(Abridged) The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way exhibits extreme conditions, including high gas densities, elevated temperatures, enhanced cosmic-ray ionization rates,…
CHemical Evolution in MassIve star-forming COres (CHEMICO). I. Evolution of the temperature structure
F. Fontani, V. M. Rivilla, E. Roueff +8
Increasing evidence shows that most stars in the Milky Way, including the Sun, are born in star-forming regions containing also high-mass stars, but due to both observational and t…
Circum-nuclear eccentric gas flow in the Galactic Center revealed by ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES)
Yoshiaki Sofue, Tomoharu Oka, Steven N. Longmore +41
We analyze the CS (J=2-1) line cube from the internal data release obtained by the large-scale program "ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES)" to investigate the kinematic structure o…
PRODIGE - envelope to disk with NOEMA: V. Low 12C/13C ratios for CH3OH and CH3CN in hot corinos
L. A. Busch, J. E. Pineda, O. Sipilä +15
The 12C/13C isotope ratio has been derived towards numerous cold clouds (20-50 K) and a couple protoplanetary disks and exoplanet atmospheres. However, direct measurements of this…
The Galactic-Centre Arms inferred from ACES (ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey)
Y. Sofue, Tomo. Oka, S. N. Longmore +44
Analyzing longitude-velocity diagrams (LVDs) in the CS(J=2-1) and H13CN(J=1-0) molecular lines from the internal release data of the ALMA Central-Molecular-Zone Exploration Survey…
Complex Organic Molecules towards the central molecular zone of NGC 253
M. Bouvier, S. Viti, J. G. Mangum +9
Interstellar complex organic molecules (iCOMs) may have a link to prebiotic species, key building blocks for life. In Galactic star-forming (SF) regions, spatial variations of iCOM…
