Sagittarius B1 -- A Patchwork of H II Regions and PhotoDissociation Regions

Janet P. Simpson, Sean W. J. Colgan, Angela S. Cotera +2

Sgr B1 is a luminous H II region in the Galactic Center immediately next to the massive star-forming giant molecular cloud Sgr B2 and apparently connected to it from their similar…

SOFIA FIFI-LS Observations of Sgr B1: Ionization Structure and Sources of Excitation

Janet P. Simpson, Sean W. J. Colgan, Angela S. Cotera +2

The current paradigm of Galactic Center (GC) gas motions and star formation envisions sequential star formation in streams of gas as they pass near the supermassive black hole, Sgr…

Surface Brightness Profile of the Milky Way's Nuclear Star Cluster

R. Schodel, A. Feldmeier, D. Kunneriath +4

(abridged) In this paper we aim at determining the shape, size, and luminosity/mass of the Milky Way Nuclear Star Cluster (MWNSC). We use Spitzer/IRAC images at 3.6 and 4.5 microme…

Properties of the Compact HII Region Complex G-0.02-0.07

Elisabeth Mills, Mark R. Morris, Cornelia Lang +4

We present new extinction maps and high-resolution Paschen alpha images of G-0.02-0.07, a complex of compact HII regions located adjacent to the M-0.02-0.07 giant molecular cloud,…
