Neutral pion emission from accelerated protons in the supernova remnant W44
A. Giuliani, M. Cardillo, M. Tavani +41
We present the AGILE gamma-ray observations in the energy range 50 MeV - 10 GeV of the supernova remnant (SNR) W44, one of the most interesting systems for studying cosmic-ray prod…
Stochastic Acceleration of Cosmic Rays in the Central Molecular Zone of the Galaxy
Takanobu Amano, Kazufumi Torii, Takahiro Hayakawa +1
Particle acceleration in the inner ~ 200 pc of the Galaxy is discussed, where diffuse TeV gamma-rays have been detected by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) observation. T…
Processing of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in molecular-loop regions near the Galactic center revealed by AKARI
Hidehiro Kaneda, Daisuke Ishihara, Akio Mouri +7
We present the AKARI mid-infrared diffuse map of an area of about 4 deg x 3 deg near the Galactic center in the 9 um band. The band intensity is mostly attributed to the aromatic h…
The Magellanic Mopra Assessment (MAGMA). I. The Molecular Cloud Population of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Tony Wong, Annie Hughes, Jürgen Ott +15
We present the properties of an extensive sample of molecular clouds in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) mapped at 11 pc resolution in the CO(1-0) line. We identify clouds as regio…
Molecular clouds in the Trifid nebula M20; Possible evidence for a cloud-cloud collision in triggering the formation of the first generation stars
K. Torii, R. Enokiya, H. Sano +14
A large-scale study of the molecular clouds toward the Trifid nebula, M20, has been made in the J=2-1 and J=1-0 transitions of 12CO and 13CO. M20 is ionized predominantly by an O7.…
Toward Understanding the Cosmic-ray Acceleration at Young Supernova Remnants Interacting with Interstellar Clouds: Possible Applications to RX J1713.7-3946
Tsuyoshi Inoue, Ryo Yamazaki, Shu-ichiro Inutsuka +1
Using three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulations, we investigate general properties of a blast wave shock interacting with interstellar clouds. The shock-cloud interaction…
A 100-parsec elliptical and twisted ring of cold and dense molecular clouds revealed by Herschel around the Galactic Center
S. Molinari, J. Bally, A. Noriega-Crespo +38
Thermal images of cold dust in the Central Molecular Zone of the Milky Way, obtained with the far-infrared cameras on-board the Herschel satellite, reveal a 3x10^7 solar masses rin…
Molecular and Atomic Gas toward HESS J1745-303 in the Galactic Center: Further Support for the Hadronic Scenario
Takahiro Hayakawa, Kazufumi Torii, Rei Enokiya +2
We have compared the TeV gamma-rays with the new 12CO J=2-1 data toward HESS J1745-303 in the Galactic center and confirmed that the molecular gas MG358.9-0.5 toward (l, b)=(358.9,…
Molecular Clouds as Cosmic Ray Laboratories
Sabrina Casanova, Felix A. Aharonian, Yasuo Fukui +9
We will here discuss how the gamma-ray emission from molecular clouds can be used to probe the cosmic ray flux in distant regions of the Galaxy and to constrain the highly unknown…
Spitzer Characterization of Dust in the Ionized Medium of the Large Magellanic Cloud
Deborah Paradis, Roberta Paladini, Alberto Noriega-Crespo +4
A systematic investigation of dust emission associated with the ionized gas has so far been performed only in our Galaxy and for wavelengths longer than 60 μm. Newly available Spit…
The Galactic Census of High- and Medium-mass Protostars. I. Catalogues and First Results from Mopra HCO+ Maps
Peter J. Barnes, Yoshinori Yonekura, Yasuo Fukui +10
The Census of High- and Medium-mass Protostars (CHaMP) is the first large-scale, unbiased, uniform mapping survey at sub-parsec scale resolution of 90 GHz line emission from massiv…
A Pan-Carina YSO Catalog: Intermediate-Mass Young Stellar Objects in the Carina Nebula Identified Via Mid-Infrared Excess Emission
Matthew S. Povich, Nathan Smith, Steven R. Majewski +11
We present a catalog of 1439 young stellar objects (YSOs) spanning the 1.42 deg^2 field surveyed by the Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP), which includes the major ionizing clu…
Source Contamination in X-ray Studies of Star-Forming Regions: Application to the Chandra Carina Complex Project
Konstantin V. Getman, Patrick S. Broos, Eric D. Feigelson +6
We describe detailed simulations of X-ray-emitting populations to evaluate the levels of contamination by both Galactic and extragalactic X-ray sources unrelated to a star-forming…
The CO-to-H2 Conversion Factor From Infrared Dust Emission Across the Local Group
Adam K. Leroy, Alberto Bolatto, Karl Gordon +8
We estimate the conversion factor relating CO emission to H2 mass, alpha_CO, in five Local Group galaxies that span approximately an order of magnitude in metallicity - M31, M 33,…
