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…
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…
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…
The diffuse gamma-ray sky of a Milky Way analogue: Local diversity and global constraints
Karin Kjellgren, Philipp Girichidis, Maria Werhahn +8
Diffuse gamma-ray emission is a key tracer of cosmic rays (CRs) in galaxies, encoding information about their transport, energetics, and interactions with the interstellar medium.…
Surveying the Whirlpool at Arcseconds with NOEMA (SWAN). IV. Extent of active galactic nucleus feedback on the interstellar medium
Mallory D. Thorp, Antonio Usero, Frank Bigiel +19
Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are intertwined with galaxy evolution, injecting energy into the interstellar medium (ISM) that could regulate star formation as a galaxy evolves. Howe…
Reconciling 3D Models for the Central 10 parsecs of the Milky Way
Elisabeth A. C. Mills, Natalie O. Butterfield, Hauyu Baobab Liu +13
The construction of an accurate 3D model of the Milky Way center is necessary to understand inflow processes that drive its overall evolution, and to compare our Galactic nucleus t…
