First Observation of CO Emission and foreground absorption Toward the Galactic Center with JWST
J. Qiu, A. Ciurlo, M. R. Morris +11
CO is an important, stable, and abundant molecule in the Universe, but it is very difficult to detect because it has no observable pure rotational transitions. The unique sensi…
The JWST Galactic Center Survey -- A White Paper
Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw +111
The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post ma…
Direct imaging of AGN outflows and their origin with the 23 m Large Binocular Telescope
Jacob W. Isbell, Steve Ertel, Jörg-Uwe Pott +17
Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are a key component of galaxy evolution due to feedback on the host from its supermassive black hole. The morphology of warm, in- and outflowing dusty…
Mass flows in the Galactic Center by supernovae of the circumnuclear disk
Barnabas Barna, Richard Wünsch, Jan Palous +3
Context. The circumnuclear disk (CND) is presently the main supply of mass for the accretion onto the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic Center (GC). While the accretio…
