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…

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…

Testing kinematic distances under a realistic Galactic potential

Glen H. Hunter, Mattia C. Sormani, Jan P. Beckmann +15

Obtaining reliable distance estimates to gas clouds within the Milky Way is challenging in the absence of certain tracers. The kinematic distance approach has been used as an alter…

Cloud properties across spatial scales in simulations of the interstellar medium

Tine Colman, Noé Brucy, Philipp Girichidis +9

Molecular clouds (MC) are structures of dense gas in the interstellar medium (ISM), that extend from ten to a few hundred parsecs and form the main gas reservoir available for star…

The BLAST Observatory: A Sensitivity Study for Far-IR Balloon-borne Polarimeters

The BLAST Observatory Collaboration, Gabriele Coppi, Simon Dicker +21

Sensitive wide-field observations of polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains will allow astronomers to address key outstanding questions about the life cycle of ma…
