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 Hidden Life of Stars: Embedded Beginnings to AGB Endings in the PHANGS-JWST Sample. I. Catalog of Mid-IR Sources
Hamid Hassani, Erik Rosolowsky, Adam K. Leroy +28
We present a multiwavelength catalog of mid-infrared-selected compact sources in 19 nearby galaxies, combining JWST NIRCam/MIRI, HST UV-optical broadband, H narrow-band, and AL…
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…
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…
Cloud-scale gas properties, depletion times, and star formation efficiency per free-fall time in PHANGS--ALMA
Adam K. Leroy, Jiayi Sun, Sharon Meidt +31
We compare measurements of star formation efficiency to cloud-scale gas properties across PHANGS-ALMA. Dividing 67 galaxies into 1.5 kpc scale regions, we calculate the molecular g…
