ALMA Observations of Massive Clouds in the Central Molecular Zone: External-Pressure-Confined Dense Cores and Salpeter-like Core Mass Functions
Zhenying Zhang, Xing Lu, Tie Liu +25
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 (1.3 mm) observations of dense cores in three massive molecular clouds within the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ)…
3-D CMZ II: Hierarchical Structure Analysis of the Central Molecular Zone
Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley Barnes +16
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the way station at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy, connecting gas flowing in from Galactic scales with the central nucleus. Key open question…
CO isotopologue-derived molecular gas conditions and CO-to-H conversion factors in M51
Jakob den Brok, María J. Jiménez-Donaire, Adam Leroy +24
Over the past decade, several millimeter interferometer programs have mapped the nearby star-forming galaxy M51 at a spatial resolution of pc. This study combines observ…
3-D CMZ III: Constraining the 3-D structure of the Central Molecular Zone via molecular line emission and absorption
Daniel L. Walker, Cara Battersby, Dani Lipman +15
The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest concentration of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy, the structure of which is shaped by the complex interplay between Ga…
3-D CMZ I: Central Molecular Zone Overview
Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker, Ashley Barnes +16
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the largest reservoir of dense molecular gas in the Galaxy and is heavily obscured in the optical and near-IR. We present an overview of the far…
3-D CMZ IV: Distinguishing Near vs. Far Distances in the Galactic Center Using Spitzer and Herschel
Dani Lipman, Cara Battersby, Daniel L. Walker +15
A comprehensive 3-D model of the central 300 pc of the Milky Way, the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is of fundamental importance in understanding energy cycles in galactic nuclei, s…
