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…

3D MC I: X-ray Tomography Begins to Unravel the 3-D Structure of a Molecular Cloud in our Galaxy's Center

Samantha W. Brunker, Cara Battersby, Danya Alboslani +5

Astronomers have used observations of the Galactic gas and dust via infrared, microwave, and radio to study molecular clouds in extreme environments such as the Galactic center. Mo…

3D MC II: X ray echoes reveal a clumpy molecular cloud in the CMZ

Danya Alboslani, Cara Battersby, Samantha Brunker +3

X-ray observations collected over the last decades have revealed a strongly variable X-ray signal within the Milky Way's Galactic center, interpreted as X-ray echoes from its super…

3-D CMZ II: Hierarchical Structure Analysis of the Central Molecular Zone

Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley Barnes +16

The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the way station at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy, connecting gas flowing in from Galactic scales with the central nucleus. Key open question…

3-D CMZ III: Constraining the 3-D structure of the Central Molecular Zone via molecular line emission and absorption

Daniel L. Walker, Cara Battersby, Dani Lipman +15

The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest concentration of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy, the structure of which is shaped by the complex interplay between Ga…

3-D CMZ I: Central Molecular Zone Overview

Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley Barnes +16

The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy and is heavily obscured in the optical and near-IR. We present an overview of the far…
