Modeling the Milky Way Circumnuclear Disk: Rosettes and Rings
Asad Ukani, Lena Murchikova, Mark D. Gorski
The Milky Way Galactic Center hosts a supermassive black hole (SMBH), Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). The dominant structures in its immediate vicinity are th…
The CO-to-H conversion factor in the Milky Way's central parsec
Mark Gorski, Lena Murchikova
Carbon monoxide (CO) emission is a widely used tracer of molecular hydrogen (H) in the interstellar medium (ISM), owing to its abundance, low excitation energy, and ease of det…
The Discovery of an Active Wind from the Milky Way's Black Hole
Mark D. Gorski, Elena Murchikova
Every large galaxy has a black hole in its center. The interaction between the black hole and its host profoundly shapes galactic evolution and the Universe as a whole. The key fea…
Observability of Isolated Stellar-mass Black Holes
Lena Murchikova, Kailash Sahu
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) represent the natural end states of massive stars. It is estimated that stellar-mass BHs are present in the Milky Way galaxy, a significant fr…
Detection Prospects of Electromagnetic Signatures from OGLE-2011-BLG-0462
Shigeo S. Kimura, Lena Murchikova, Kailash C. Sahu
Stellar-mass isolated black holes (IsoBHs) wandering in interstellar medium (ISM) are expected to be abundant in our Galaxy. Recently, an IsoBH, OGLE-2011-BLG-0462, was unambiguous…
