In recent years, exciting developments have taken place in the identification of the role of
cosmic rays in star-forming environments. Observations from radio to infrared wavelengths …

Non-thermal particles and high-energy radiation can play a role in the dynamical processes
in star-forming regions and provide an important piece of the multiwavelength observational …

The inner∼ 200 pc region of the Galaxy contains a 4 million M⊙ supermassive black hole
(SMBH), significant quantities of molecular gas, and star formation and cosmic-ray energy …

Trends observed in galaxies, such as the Gao & Solomon relation, suggest a linear
relationship between the star formation rate and the mass of dense gas available for star …

Molecular clouds are a fundamental ingredient of galaxies: they are the channels that
transform the diffuse gas into stars. The detailed process of how they do it is not completely …

We investigate how the dynamical state of molecular clouds relates to host galaxy
environment and how this impacts the star formation efficiency (SFE) in the Milky Way and …

We report ALMA observations with resolution≈ 0 farcs 5 at 3 mm of the extended Sgr B2
cloud in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ). We detect 271 compact sources, most of which …

Context. As the number of complex organic molecules (COMs) detected in the interstellar
medium increases, it becomes even more important to place meaningful constraints on the …

Context. The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is, together with the nuclear star cluster (NSC) and
the central massive black hole, one of the main components in the central parts of our Milky …

Abstract The Survey of Water and Ammonia in the Galactic Center (SWAG) covers the
Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way at frequencies between 21.2 and 25.4 GHz …
