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…
Disruption of a massive molecular cloud by a supernova in the Galactic Centre: Initial results from the ACES project
M. Nonhebel, A. T. Barnes, K. Immer +33
The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) differs dramatically from our local solar neighbourhood, both in the extreme interstellar medium conditions it exhibits (e.g. high gas,…
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…
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon and CO(2-1) Emission at 50-150 pc Scales in 70 Nearby Galaxies
Ryan Chown, Adam K. Leroy, Karin Sandstrom +44
Combining Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array CO(2-1) mapping and JWST near- and mid-infrared imaging, we characterize the relationship between CO(2-1) and polycyclic aro…
CHIMPS2: CO emission in the Central Molecular Zone
S. M. King, T. J. T. Moore, J. D. Henshaw +12
We present the initial data for the () transition of CO obtained from the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way as part of the CO Heterodyne Inner Milky…
Filamentary mass accretion towards the high-mass protobinary system G11.92-0.61 MM2
S. Zhang, C. J. Cyganowski, J. D. Henshaw +5
We present deep, sub-arcsecond (2000 AU) resolution ALMA 0.82 mm observations of the former high-mass prestellar core candidate G11.92-0.61 MM2, recently shown to be an $\sim…
A 260 pc resolution ALMA map of HCN(1-0) in the galaxy NGC 4321
Lukas Neumann, Frank Bigiel, Ashley T. Barnes +24
The star formation rate (SFR) is tightly connected to the amount of dense gas in molecular clouds. However, it is not fully understood how the relationship between dense molecular…
The SKA Galactic Centre Survey -- A White Paper
Rainer Schoedel, Antxon Alberdi, Izaskun Jimenez-Serra +17
With its extreme density of stars and stellar remnants, dense young massive clusters, high specific star formation rate, intense radiation field, high magnetic field strength, and…
A broad linewidth, compact, millimeter-bright molecular emission line source near the Galactic Center
Adam Ginsburg, John Bally, Ashley T. Barnes +37
A compact source, G0.02467-0.0727, was detected in ALMA \threemm observations in continuum and very broad line emission. The continuum emission has a spectral index ,…
The properties and kinematics of HCN emission across the closest starburst galaxy NGC 253 observed with ALMA
Ivana Beslic, Ashley T. Barnes, Frank Bigiel +21
Studying molecular gas in nearby galaxies using hydrogen cyanide (HCN) as a tracer for higher densities than CO emission still poses a significant challenge. Even though several ga…
Magnetic field morphology and evolution in the Central Molecular Zone and its effect on gas dynamics
R. G. Tress, M. C. Sormani, P. Girichidis +34
The interstellar medium in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is known to be strongly magnetised, but its large-scale morphology and impact on the gas dynamics are not we…
Polarized Light from Massive Protoclusters (POLIMAP). I. Dissecting the role of magnetic fields in the massive infrared dark cloud G28.37+0.07
C-Y Law, Jonathan C. Tan, Raphael Skalidis +11
Magnetic fields may play a crucial role in setting the initial conditions of massive star and star cluster formation. To investigate this, we report SOFIA-HAWC+ m observati…
