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…
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…
Constraining meV Axion Dark Matter with ALMA Observations of the Galactic Center Magnetar SGR 1745-2900
Javier De Miguel, Evanthia Hatziminaoglou, Frédéric Poidevin +4
We report a mm-wave search for axion dark matter from SGR 1745-2900, based on 4.8 h of ALMA observations. No candidate features are found between 133.99-135.78, 135.91-137.70, 145.…
JWST's first view of the most vigorously star-forming cloud in the Galactic center -- Sagittarius B2
Nazar Budaiev, Adam Ginsburg, Ashley T. Barnes +9
We report JWST NIRCAM and MIRI observations of Sgr B2, one of the most active sites of star formation in the Galaxy. These observations, using 14 filters spanning 1.5 to 25 microns…
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…
Mapping CO Ice in a Star-Forming Filament in the 3 kpc Arm with JWST
Savannah Gramze, Adam Ginsburg, Nazar Budaiev +14
CO gas emission is a fundamental tool for measuring column density, but in cold, dark clouds, much of the CO is locked away in ice. We present JWST results from observations of a s…
