Modeling the Milky Way Circumnuclear Disk: Rosettes and Rings
Asad Ukani, Lena Murchikova, Mark D. Gorski
The Milky Way Galactic Center hosts a supermassive black hole (SMBH), Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). The dominant structures in its immediate vicinity are th…
The Discovery of an Active Wind from the Milky Way's Black Hole
Mark D. Gorski, Elena Murchikova
Every large galaxy has a black hole in its center. The interaction between the black hole and its host profoundly shapes galactic evolution and the Universe as a whole. The key fea…
Stellar-wind Fueled Accretion onto Sagittarius A* in the Presence of a Nuclear Star Cluster
Edward Skrabacz, Lena Murchikova, Sean M. Ressler +2
The Milky Way's Galactic Center hosts the black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), which provides us with a close-up view into supermassive black hole accretion and feedback. Recent wor…
The CO-to-H conversion factor in the Milky Way's central parsec
Mark Gorski, Lena Murchikova
Carbon monoxide (CO) emission is a widely used tracer of molecular hydrogen (H) in the interstellar medium (ISM), owing to its abundance, low excitation energy, and ease of det…
Observability of Isolated Stellar-mass Black Holes
Lena Murchikova, Kailash Sahu
Stellar-mass black holes (BHs) represent the natural end states of massive stars. It is estimated that stellar-mass BHs are present in the Milky Way galaxy, a significant fr…
Detection Prospects of Electromagnetic Signatures from OGLE-2011-BLG-0462
Shigeo S. Kimura, Lena Murchikova, Kailash C. Sahu
Stellar-mass isolated black holes (IsoBHs) wandering in interstellar medium (ISM) are expected to be abundant in our Galaxy. Recently, an IsoBH, OGLE-2011-BLG-0462, was unambiguous…
