Origins Space Telescope Mission Concept Study Report

M. Meixner, A. Cooray, D. Leisawitz +66

The Origins Space Telescope (Origins) traces our cosmic history, from the formation of the first galaxies and the rise of metals to the development of habitable worlds and present-…

Time-Domain Photometry of Protostars at Far-Infrared and Submillimeter Wavelengths

William J. Fischer, Michael Dunham, Joel Green +16

The majority of the ultimate main-sequence mass of a star is assembled in the protostellar phase, where a forming star is embedded in an infalling envelope and encircled by a proto…

Young massive star cluster formation in the Galactic Centre is driven by global gravitational collapse of high-mass molecular clouds

A. T. Barnes, S. N. Longmore, A. Avison +19

Young massive clusters (YMCs) are the most compact, high-mass stellar systems still forming at the present day. The precursor clouds to such systems are, however, rare due to their…

Astro2020 Science White Paper: What is the lifecycle of gas and stars in galaxy centers?

Adam Ginsburg, Elisabeth A. C. Mills, Cara D. Battersby +2

The closest galaxy center, our own Central Molecular Zone (CMZ; the central 500 pc of the Milky Way), is a powerful laboratory for studying the secular processes that shape galaxie…

Star Formation Rates of Massive Molecular Clouds in the Central Molecular Zone

Xing Lu, Qizhou Zhang, Jens Kauffmann +8

We investigate star formation at very early evolutionary phases in five massive clouds in the inner 500 pc of the Galaxy, the Central Molecular Zone. Using interferometer observati…

'The Brick' is not a brick: A comprehensive study of the structure and dynamics of the Central Molecular Zone cloud G0.253+0.016

J. D. Henshaw, A. Ginsburg, T. J. Haworth +19

In this paper we provide a comprehensive description of the internal dynamics of G0.253+0.016 (a.k.a. 'the Brick'); one of the most massive and dense molecular clouds in the Galaxy…
