Astronomy at the University of Maryland

Laboratory for Millimeter-Wave Astronomy
CARMA Seminar for 2008-04-15


Series: CARMA Seminar
Date: Tuesday 15-Apr-2008
Time: 4:00-5:00 pm
Location: CSS 1248
Speaker: Edmund Hodges-Kluck (University of Maryland)
Title: "Dense, Parsec-Scale Molecular Clumps near the Great Annihilator"

We report on CARMA data near the Galactic center towards the Great Annihilator black hole candidate. We see over ten dense molecular clumps with n > 10^5 cm^-3, and argue that the densities and size scales support the idea that atomic gas near the Galactic center shocks, forms molecular clouds, and falls deeper into the potential to end up in the region of the Sgr GMCs.


The topics of the CARMA seminar include the solar system, star formation, the interstellar medium, galactic structure and galaxies. All are welcome to attend. Seminars will be limited to 1 hour including questions.
