The galactic centre mini-spiral in the mm-regime

Context. The mini-spiral is a feature of the interstellar medium in the central ∼2 pc of the Galactic center. It is composed of several streamers of dust and ionised and atomic gas with temperatures between a few 100 K to 104 K. There is evidence that these streamers are related to the so-called cir...

Descripción
Sumario:Context. The mini-spiral is a feature of the interstellar medium in the central ∼2 pc of the Galactic center. It is composed of several streamers of dust and ionised and atomic gas with temperatures between a few 100 K to 104 K. There is evidence that these streamers are related to the so-called circumnuclear disk of molecular gas and are ionized by photons from massive, hot stars in the central parsec.
