Substellar population of the young massive cluster RCW 36 in Vela
A. R. G. do Brito do Vale, K. MužiÄ, H. Bouy +10
The initial mass function (IMF) is a cornerstone of star formation studies, yet its universality remains debated. We investigate the IMF in the young massive cluster RCW 36, locate…
A spectroscopic map of the Galactic centre -- Observations and resolved stars
A. Feldmeier-Krause, N. Neumayer, A. Seth +10
The Galactic Centre region contains a dense accumulation of stars, which can be separated into two components: A flattened and dense nuclear star cluster (NSC), and a surrounding,…
The JWST-NIRCam View of Sagittarius C. II. Evidence for Magnetically Dominated HII Regions in the CMZ
John Bally, Samuel Crowe, Rubén Fedriani +11
We present JWST-NIRCam narrow-band, 4.05 m Brackett- images of the Sgr C HII region, located in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Galaxy. Unlike any HII region in the…
Chemical Abundances in the Nuclear Star Cluster of the Milky Way: alpha-Element Trends and Their Similarities with the Inner Bulge
N. Ryde, G. Nandakumar, M. Schultheis +15
A chemical characterization of the Galactic Center is essential for understanding its formation and structural evolution. Trends of alpha-elements, such as Mg, Si, and Ca, serve as…
The JWST-NIRCam View of Sagittarius C. I. Massive Star Formation and Protostellar Outflows
Samuel Crowe, Rubén Fedriani, Jonathan C. Tan +14
We present James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)-NIRCam observations of the massive star-forming molecular cloud Sagittarius C (Sgr C) in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). In conjuncti…
