Rotation and stability of the circumnuclear gas disk in the Galactic Center potential by the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES)

Yoshiaki Sofue, Steven N. Longmore, Daniel Walker +26

We investigated the gravitational potential and mass distribution in the Galactic Center by examining the morphology and kinematics of the circumnuclear gaseous disk revealed by th…

ACES: The Magnetic Field in Large Filaments in the Galactic Center

Dylan M. Paré, Zi-Xuan Feng, Yue Hu +33

The Galactic Center (GC) is an extreme region of the Milky Way that is host to a complex set of thermal and non-thermal structures. In particular, the GC contains high-density gas…

Constraining meV Axion Dark Matter with ALMA Observations of the Galactic Center Magnetar SGR 1745-2900

Javier De Miguel, Evanthia Hatziminaoglou, Frédéric Poidevin +4

We report a mm-wave search for axion dark matter from SGR 1745-2900, based on 4.8 h of ALMA observations. No candidate features are found between 133.99-135.78, 135.91-137.70, 145.…

Nonthermal Pressures: Key to Energy Balance and Structure Formation Near Sgr A* in the Milky Way

Farideh Mazoochi, Fatemeh S. Tabatabaei, Ashley T. Barnes +14

The circumnuclear region of the Galactic Center offers a unique laboratory to study energy balance and structure formation around Sgr A. This work investigates thermal and n…

Mapping CO Ice in a Star-Forming Filament in the 3 kpc Arm with JWST

Savannah Gramze, Adam Ginsburg, Nazar Budaiev +14

CO gas emission is a fundamental tool for measuring column density, but in cold, dark clouds, much of the CO is locked away in ice. We present JWST results from observations of a s…

JWST's first view of the most vigorously star-forming cloud in the Galactic center -- Sagittarius B2

Nazar Budaiev, Adam Ginsburg, Ashley T. Barnes +9

We report JWST NIRCAM and MIRI observations of Sgr B2, one of the most active sites of star formation in the Galaxy. These observations, using 14 filters spanning 1.5 to 25 microns…

Circum-nuclear eccentric gas flow in the Galactic Center revealed by ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES)

Yoshiaki Sofue, Tomoharu Oka, Steven N. Longmore +41

We analyze the CS (J=2-1) line cube from the internal data release obtained by the large-scale program "ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES)" to investigate the kinematic structure o…

Dual-band Unified Exploration of Three CMZ Clouds (DUET). Cloud-wide census of continuum sources showing low spectral indices

Fengwei Xu, Xing Lu, Ke Wang +19

The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is measured to form stars 10 times less efficiently than in the Galactic disk, based on emission from high-mass stars. However, the CMZ…

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…
