What Heats the Dense Gas in the Galactic Center?
Zhenyi Yue, Yiping Ao, Xindi Tang +3
Previous studies using p-HCO -- transitions at 218 GHz suggested widespread high-temperature gas exceeding 60 K and even 100 K in the CMZ, with heating mechanisms possi…
Examining Turbulence in Galactic Molecular Clouds - II: Continuity of Turbulence Cascading in a Portion of the Local Arm
Yuehui Ma, Miaomiao Zhang, Hongchi Wang +5
We use CO (J=1-0) MWISP data to study turbulence in a segment of the Local Arm. Velocity slices at different kinematic distances show similar spatial power spectra (SPSs) an…
Hierarchical Structure and Self-gravity in the Rosette Molecular Cloud
Suziye He, Yuehui Ma, Hongchi Wang +6
We analyze the hierarchical structure in the Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC) using CO J=1-0 data from the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey with a non-binary De…
Examining Turbulence in Galactic Molecular Clouds -- I: A Statistical Analysis of Velocity Structures
Yuehui Ma, Miaomiao Zhang, Hongchi Wang +14
We present a systematic analysis of the velocity structure functions (VSFs) of 167 molecular clouds with angular sizes greater than 176 arcmin in three sectors of the Gal…
