A Novel Approach to 3D Dust Mapping of the Central Molecular Zone
Arianna Vasini, Mattia C. Sormani, Jason L. Sanders +12
The 3D distribution of dust and gas in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is key to understanding gas inflows toward the Galactic Centre (GC), the process of star formati…
Electron temperature and emission measure of HII regions in the central molecular zone (CMZ) from H40 αrecombination line and continuum emissions by ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey - ACES -
Yoshiaki Sofue, Steven N. Longmore, Daniel Walker +40
Star formation activity in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) directly manifests itself as radio continuum free-free emission (Bremsstrahlung) and radio recombination line emission f…
Simulations of gas inflow in the Milky Way I. Stellar-Feedback-Regulated Transport from the Central Molecular Zone to the Circumnuclear disk
Zi-Xuan Feng, Mattia C. Sormani, Robin G. Tress +18
We perform hydrodynamical simulations with radially varying resolution to study the effects of stellar feedback on the radial inflow of gas from the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ, $R…
Kinematic hints of a nuclear bar in the Milky Way
Karl Fiteni, Mattia C. Sormani, Victor P. Debattista +8
The Milky Way hosts a flattened nuclear stellar disc (NSD) that dominates the gravitational potential in the inner few hundred parsecs. Whether the NSD is purely axisymmetric or co…
Kinematic diagnostics for non-axisymmetry in the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc
Karl Fiteni, Xingchen Li, Mattia C. Sormani +8
There is now strong evidence that the Milky Way (MW) hosts a nuclear stellar disc (NSD). However, whether the NSD is purely axisymmetric or contains a nuclear bar remains unresolve…
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…
Rhea-RT: Dynamical impact of Central Molecular Zone conditions on the properties of the interstellar medium and stellar feedback coupling
R. G. Tress, N. Brucy, P. Girichidis +22
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is an extreme star formation environment, characterized by higher density, higher turbulence, stronger orbital shear, and stronger magnetic field s…
