The Nearest Galactic Nucleus: Studying the Galactic Centre with SKA-Mid
Rainer Schoedel, Antxon Alberdi, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra +24
The Galactic Centre is the nearest nucleus of a galaxy and the most extreme environment that we can observe down to physical scales of a few hundred astronomical units. There is no…
Ionized gas emission in protoplanetary disks with the SKAO
Greta Guidi, Christian Rab, Barbara Ercolano +20
Protoplanetary disks represent a crucial stage in the evolution of Young Stellar Objects towards the formation of fully formed planetary systems. While substantial progress has bee…
The 10-15 GHz radio continuum survey of the Galactic Plane with SKAO
A. Traficante, C. Mininni, F. Cavallaro +63
Star formation emerges from the complex interplay between gravity, turbulence, magnetic fields, and stellar feedback, all of which vary across spatial scales and Galactic environme…
Substructures in Planet-Forming Disks with the SKAO
Yinhao Wu, Jessica Speedie, Sebastián Pérez +33
Disks of gas and dust orbiting young stars are the arenas and material reservoirs for planet formation. Over the past decade, multiwavelength observations, from infrared to radio,…
Unveiling Complex Chemistry in Planet-forming Disks with the SKAO
Linda Podio, Lisa Giani, Catherine Walsh +38
The chemical composition of planets is inherited from that of the natal protoplanetary disk at the time of planet formation. In recent years, we have made huge progress in characte…
Chemical Complexity in the Early Stages of Star Formation in the SKAO Era
Eleonora Bianchi, Mathilde Bouvier, Claudio Codella +44
About 350 molecules have been identified in the interstellar medium (ISM), including complex molecules relevant to prebiotic chemistry. A remarkable level of molecular diversity ha…
Jets and Outflows in Young Stellar Objects with the SKAO
Giovanni Sabatini, Gemma Busquet, Carlos Carrasco-González +48
Jets and outflows are ubiquitous phenomena associated with the formation of young stellar objects (YSOs). They play a crucial role in removing angular momentum from the accreting s…
FAUST XXXI. Grain properties and variability of three sources in GSS 30
Q. Yang, H. Baobab Liu, S. Feng +55
To advance our understanding of dust properties in class 0/I young stellar objects, it is crucial to resolve their structures at multiple wavelengths and investigate how grain grow…
Aromatic rings in the Central Molecular Zone: Benzonitrile
V. M. Rivilla, D. San Andrés, M. Sanz-Novo +12
In recent years, several aromatic molecules (benzene-based rings) have been detected in the cold molecular cloud TMC-1, with its CN-derivative, benzonitrile (c-CHCN), also…
ALMA Central molecular zone Exploration Survey (ACES) V: CS(2-1), SO(2_3-1_2), CH3CHO(5_1,4-4_1,3), HC3N(11-10), and H40a lines data
Pei-Ying Hsieh, Daniel L. Walker, Adam Ginsburg +59
We present data from the ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES) Large Program, which provides broad spectral-line and 3 mm continuum coverage of the Central Molecula…
ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES) I: Overview
Steven N. Longmore, John Bally, Ashley T. Barnes +95
The mass flows and energy cycles within the inner regions of galaxies exert a powerful influence on the evolution of the galaxy population. The centre of the Milky Way is the only…
ALMA Central molecular zone Exploration Survey (ACES) III: Molecular line data reduction and HNCO and HCO data
Daniel L. Walker, Adam Ginsburg, Ashley T. Barnes +64
The ALMA Central molecular zone Exploration Survey (ACES) large program has observed the inner ~ 200 pc of the Milky Way at 3 mm (Band 3) using ALMA's 12m, 7m, and Total Power arra…
ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey (ACES) II: 3mm continuum images
Adam Ginsburg, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley T. Barnes +69
The ALMA Central Molecular Zone Exploration Survey, ACES, has mapped square arcminutes at 3 mm toward the center of our Galaxy. ACES provides the first large-scale, h…
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…
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…
SiO emission in the filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud G035.39-00.33: An ALMA view
Rong Liu, Izaskun Jiménez-Serra, Giuliana Cosentino +8
Filamentary infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are believed to represent the initial conditions for massive star and cluster formation. We investigate the IRDC G035.39-00.33 using SiO, H…
