The Milky Way's dark matter halo appears to be lopsided

Kanak Saha, Evan S. Levine, Chanda J. Jog +1

The atomic hydrogen gas (HI) disk in the outer region (beyond ~10 kpc from the centre) of Milky Way can provide valuable information about the structure of the dark matter halo. Th…

The Milky Way Rotation Curve and its Vertical Derivatives Inside the Solar Circle

E. S. Levine, Carl Heiles, Leo Blitz

We measure the Galactic rotation curve and its first two vertical derivatives in the first and fourth quadrants of the Milky Way using the 21 cm VGPS and SGPS. We find tangent velo…

The Dense Gas in the Central Kiloparsec of NGC 6946

E. S. Levine, Tamara T. Helfer, R. Meijerink +1

We present observations of the HCN and HCO+ J=1-0 transitions in the center of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946 made with the BIMA and CARMA interferometers. Using the BIMA SONG C…

The Warp and Spiral Arms of the Milky Way

E. S. Levine, Leo Blitz, Carl Heiles +1

We examine the outer Galactic HI disk for deviations from the b=0 plane by constructing maps of disk surface density, mean height, and thickness. We find that the Galactic warp is…

The Spiral Structure of the Outer Milky Way in Hydrogen

E. S. Levine, Leo Blitz, Carl Heiles

We produce a detailed map of the perturbed surface density of neutral hydrogen in the outer Milky Way disk demonstrating that the Galaxy is a non-axisymmetric multi-armed spiral. S…
