The Milky Way Project and ATLASGAL: The distribution and physical properties of cold clumps near infrared bubbles

S. Kendrew, H. Beuther, R. Simpson +6

We present a statistical study of the distribution and physical properties of cold dense material in and around the inner Galactic Plane near infrared bubbles as catalogued by the…

A Uniform Catalog of Molecular Clouds in the Milky Way

Thomas S. Rice, Alyssa A. Goodman, Edwin A. Bergin +2

The all-Galaxy CO survey of Dame, Hartmann, & Thaddeus (2001) is by far the most uniform, large-scale Galactic CO survey. Using a dendrogram-based decomposition of this survey, we…

The Bones of the Milky Way

Alyssa A. Goodman, Joao Alves, Christopher N. Beaumont +8

The very long and thin infrared dark cloud "Nessie" is even longer than had been previously claimed, and an analysis of its Galactic location suggests that it lies directly in the…

The Milky Way Project: Leveraging Citizen Science and Machine Learning to Detect Interstellar Bubbles

Christopher Beaumont, Alyssa Goodman, Jonathan Williams +2

We present Brut, an algorithm to identify bubbles in infrared images of the Galactic midplane. Brut is based on the Random Forest algorithm, and uses bubbles identified by >35,000…

Quantifying Observational Projection Effects Using Molecular Cloud Simulations

Christopher N. Beaumont, Stella S. R. Offner, Rahul Shetty +2

The physical properties of molecular clouds are often measured using spectral-line observations, which provide the only probes of the clouds' velocity structure. It is hard, though…

The linewidth-size relationship in the dense ISM of the Central Molecular Zone

Rahul Shetty, Christopher N. Beaumont, Michael G. Burton +2

The linewidth (sigma) - size (R) relationship has been extensively measured and analysed, in both the local ISM and in nearby normal galaxies. Generally, a power-law describes the…
