Unusual Galactic HII Regions at the Intersection of the Central Molecular Zone and the Far Dust Lane
Loren D. Anderson, Mattia C. Sormani, Adam Ginsburg +7
Sgr E is a massive star formation complex found toward the Galactic center that consists of numerous discrete, compact HII regions. It is located at the intersection between the Ce…
Do nuclear rings in barred galaxies form at the shear minimum of the rotation curve?
Mattia C. Sormani, Zhi Li
It has been recently suggested that (i) nuclear rings in barred galaxies (including our own Milky Way) form at the radius where the shear parameter of the rotation curve reaches a…
The Cloud Factory I: Generating resolved filamentary molecular clouds from galactic-scale forces
Rowan J. Smith, Robin G. Treß, Mattia C. Sormani +6
We introduce a new suite of simulations, "The Cloud Factory", which self-consistently forms molecular cloud complexes at high enough resolution to resolve internal substructure (up…
Simulations of the star-forming molecular gas in an interacting M51-like galaxy
Robin G. Tress, Rowan J. Smith, Mattia C. Sormani +4
We present here the first of a series of papers aimed at better understanding the evolution and properties of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in a galactic context. We perform high r…
The geometry of the gas surrounding the Central Molecular Zone: on the origin of localised molecular clouds with extreme velocity dispersions
Mattia C. Sormani, Robin G. Tress, Simon C. O. Glover +6
Observations of molecular gas near the Galactic centre (, ) reveal the presence of a distinct population of enigmatic compact clouds which are ch…
The effect of rotation on the thermal instability of stratified galactic atmospheres - II. The formation of High Velocity Clouds
Mattia Sormani, Emanuele Sobacchi
Whether High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) can form by condensation of the hot () Galactic corona as a consequence of thermal instabilities has been controversial.…
