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…
The Rosetta Stone project. III. ALMA synthetic observations of fragmentation in high-mass star-forming clumps
Alice Nucara, Alessio Traficante, Ugo Lebreuilly +23
The physical mechanisms that regulate the collapse of high-mass parsec-scale clumps and allow them to form clusters of new stars represent a crucial aspect of star formation. To in…
Dual-band Unified Exploration of Three CMZ Clouds (DUET). Cloud-wide census of continuum sources showing low spectral indices
Fengwei Xu, Xing Lu, Ke Wang +19
The Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is measured to form stars 10 times less efficiently than in the Galactic disk, based on emission from high-mass stars. However, the CMZ…
Subclustering and Star Formation Efficiency in Three Protoclusters in the Central Molecular Zone
Suinan Zhang, Xing Lu, Adam Ginsburg +21
We present so far the highest resolution (0.04") ALMA 1.3 mm continuum observations of three massive star-forming clumps in the Central Molecular Zone, namely 20 km s…
ALMA observations of massive clouds in the central molecular zone: slim filaments tracing parsec-scale shocks
Kai Yang, Xing Lu, Yichen Zhang +22
The central molecular zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy exhibits widespread emission from SiO and various complex organic molecules (COMs), yet the exact origin of such emission is uncertai…
