Inadequate turbulent support in low-metallicity molecular clouds

Lingrui Lin, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +16

The dynamic properties of molecular clouds are set by the interplay of their self-gravity, turbulence, external pressure and magnetic fields. Extended surveys of Galactic molecular…

A new measurement of the Galactic C/C gradient from sensitive HCO absorption observations

Gan Luo, Laura Colzi, Tie Liu +4

We present a new constraint on the Galactic C/C gradient with sensitive HCO absorption observations against strong continuum sources. The new measurements suffer…

The CO-dark molecular gas in the cold HI arc

Gan Luo, Di Li, Zhi-yu Zhang +6

The CO-dark molecular gas (DMG), which refers to the molecular gas not traced by CO emission, is crucial for the evolution of the interstellar medium (ISM). While the gas propertie…

-enhanced Astrochemistry: the Carbon cycle in extreme galactic conditions

Thomas G. Bisbas, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Eda Gjergo +8

Astrochemistry has been widely developed as a power tool to probe physical properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) in various conditions of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy, and in ne…

An improved method to measure and abundance ratios: revisiting CN isotopologues in the Galactic outer disk

Yichen Sun, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +7

The variations of elemental abundance and their ratios along the Galactocentric radius result from the chemical evolution of the Milky Way disks. The ratio in p…

Properties of dense molecular gas along the major axis of M 82

Fei Li, Zhi-Yu Zhang, Junzhi Wang +6

Dense gas is important for galaxy evolution and star formation. Optically-thin dense-gas tracers, such as isotopologues of HCN, HCO+, etc., are very helpful to diagnose excitation…
