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…
First Submillimeter Lights from Dome A: Tracing the Carbon Cycle in the Feedback of Massive Stars
Yan Gong, Jiaqiang Zhong, Yuan Ren +38
The cycling of carbon between its ionized, atomic, and molecular phases shapes the chemical compositions and physical conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM). However, ground-b…
The Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting Survey: Data Release 1
Ji Yang, Qing-Zeng Yan, Yang Su +31
We present the first data release (DR1) of the Milky Way Imaging Scroll Painting (MWISP) survey, a mapping in the J=(1-0) transition lines of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O toward the northe…
Mock Observations for the CSST Mission: HSTDM--Synthetic Data Generation
SiYuan Tan, WenYin Duan, YiLong Zhang +9
The High Sensitivity Terahertz Detection Module (HSTDM), a key component of the backend modules on board the China Space Station Telescope (CSST), will offer great opportunities fo…
Widespread Hot Molecular Gas Heated by Shear-induced Turbulence in the Galactic Center
Juan Li, Junzhi Wang, Zhiqiang Shen +13
We observed NH3 metastable inversion lines from (3, 3) to (18, 18) toward G0.66-0.13 in the Galactic center with the Shanghai Tianma 65m radio telescope and Yebes 40 m telescope. H…
Scientific Objectives of the Xue-shan-mu-chang 15-meter Submillimeter Telescope
XSMT Project Collaboration Group, Yiping Ao, Jin Chang +48
Submillimeter astronomy is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Universe by revealing cosmic phenomena hidden from optical and near-infrared observations, particularly…
