Unveiling the 3D structure of the central molecular zone from stellar kinematics and photometry: The 50 and 20 km/s clouds

Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Ashley T. Barnes, Jonathan D. Henshaw +25

The central molecular zone (CMZ), surrounding the Galactic centre, is the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy. Despite its relative proximity, the 3D structure o…

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…

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…

The Galactic-Centre Arms inferred from ACES (ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey)

Y. Sofue, Tomo. Oka, S. N. Longmore +44

Analyzing longitude-velocity diagrams (LVDs) in the CS(J=2-1) and H13CN(J=1-0) molecular lines from the internal release data of the ALMA Central-Molecular-Zone Exploration Survey…

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…
