The Effects of Cosmic Ray Protons on Galactic Nonthermal Filaments
Mohan Richter-Addo, Roark Habegger, Ellen Zweibel +2
The Galactic Center (GC) contains a collection of filaments that are typically tens of parsecs in length, illuminated by synchrotron radiation from cosmic rays (CR). The origin of…
Analyzing PAHs as a Tracer of Anomalous Microwave Emission Near the Galactic Plane Using the COSMOGLOBE DIRBE Reduction
Dylan M. Pare, David T. Chuss, Danielle Sponseller +2
The physical mechanism producing Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) has been an unresolved puzzle for close to 30 years. One candidate mechanism is rotational emission from polycyc…
SOFIA Polarization Spectrum of Three Star-Forming Clouds
Erin G. Cox, Giles Novak, David T. Chuss +6
The dust emission polarization spectrum -- how the polarization percentage changes with wavelength -- serves as a probe of dust grain properties in star-forming regions. In this pa…
Statistical Analysis of PAHs as a Tracer of Anomalous Microwave Emission Using DIRBE Data
Danielle Sponseller, David T. Chuss, Brandon Hensley +1
We use archival data from the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) to map the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) 3.3 m emission feature and analyze its correlation…
The Complex Magnetic Field of the Extreme Galactic Center: PRIMA Science Potential
Dylan M. Paré, David T. Chuss, Kaitlyn Karpovich +4
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Galactic Center (GC) region of the Milky Way contains a substantial fraction of the molecular mass of the Galaxy >10e7 solar masses yet exhi…
Parallel Alignments between Magnetic Fields and Dense Structures in the Central Molecular Zone
Xing Pan, Qizhou Zhang, Keping Qiu +8
The recent Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large-Area Central Molecular Zone Exploration (FIREPLACE) survey with SOFIA has mapped plane-of-the-sky magnetic field orientations within the…
