Metallicity Structure in Galactic Longitude-Velocity Diagrams of the Milky Way Disk and FIRE-2 Simulations
Victor Liu, Dana S. Balser, Trey V. Wenger
We investigate longitude-velocity (-) diagrams as a diagnostic tool to study the metallicity structure of the Milky Way (MW) disk. The present-day metallicity structure en…
The Flocculent Structure of the Inner Milky Way Disk
Dana S. Balser, W. B. Burton
Observations of HI published in 1957 by Westerhout and Schmidt were presented as showing a global face-on view of spiral structure in the Milky Way. Since then many studies have at…
Tracing Gas Kinematics and Interactions between H II Regions and Molecular Clouds using VLA Observations of Recombination Lines and Hydroxyl
E. Cappellazzo, J. R. Dawson, Mark Wardle +7
Observational studies of HII region-molecular cloud interactions constrain models of feedback and quantify its impact on the surrounding environment. A recent hypothesis proposes t…
The Most Sensitive Radio Recombination Line Measurements Ever Made of the Galactic Warm Ionized Medium
T. M. Bania, Dana S. Balser, Trey V. Wenger +3
Diffuse ionized gas pervades the disk of the Milky Way. We detect extremely faint emission from this Galactic Warm Ionized Medium (WIM) using the Green Bank Telescope to make radio…
The Metallicity-Electron Temperature Relationship in HII Regions
Dana S. Balser, Trey V. Wenger
HII region heavy-element abundances throughout the Galactic disk provide important constraints to theories of the formation and evolution of the Milky Way. In LTE, radio recombinat…
Methods for Averaging Spectral Line Data
L. D. Anderson, B. Liu, Dana S. Balser +5
The ideal spectral averaging method depends on one's science goals and the available information about one's data. Including low-quality data in the average can decrease the signal…
