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…

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…

Class I CH3OH Maser Emission from Bar-Driven Inflow Colliding with the Central Molecular Zone

V. S. Veena, W. -J. Kim, P. Schilke +9

The Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way is shaped by the interplay of bar-driven inflows, shocks, and star formation. At Galactic longitude l=1.3, gas inflowing along the near-…

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…

Simulations of gas inflow in the Milky Way I. Stellar-Feedback-Regulated Transport from the Central Molecular Zone to the Circumnuclear disk

Zi-Xuan Feng, Mattia C. Sormani, Robin G. Tress +18

We perform hydrodynamical simulations with radially varying resolution to study the effects of stellar feedback on the radial inflow of gas from the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ, $R…

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…
