Identifying physical structures in our Galaxy with Gaussian Mixture Models: An unsupervised machine learning technique
M. Tiwari, R. Kievit, S. Kabanovic +14
We explore the potential of the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), an unsupervised machine learning method, to identify coherent physical structures in the ISM. The implementation we pr…
[CII] Spectral Mapping of the Galactic Wind and Starbursting Disk of M82 with SOFIA
Rebecca C. Levy, Alberto D. Bolatto, Elizabeth Tarantino +10
M82 is an archetypal starburst galaxy in the local Universe. The central burst of star formation, thought to be triggered by M82's interaction with other members in the M81 group,…
Structure of the W3A Low Density Foreground Region
Paul F. Goldsmith, William D. Langer, Youngmin Seo +5
We present analysis of OI 63 micron and CO = 5-4 and 8-7 multi-position data in the W3A region and use it to develop a model for the extended low-density foreground gas that pr…
Physics and Chemistry of Radiation Driven Cloud Evolution. [C II] Kinematics of IC 59 and IC 63
Miranda Caputo, Archana Soam, B-G Andersson +5
We used high-resolution [C II] 158 m mapping of two nebulae IC 59 and IC 63 from SOFIA/upGREAT in conjunction with ancillary data on the gas, dust, and polarization to probe the…
Ionized carbon as a tracer of the assembly of interstellar clouds
Nicola Schneider, Lars Bonne, Sylvain Bontemps +9
Molecular hydrogen clouds are a key component of the interstellar medium because they are the birthplaces for stars. They are embedded in atomic gas that pervades the interstellar…
