Weighing the Milky Way

open access: yes, 2002
We describe an experiment to measure the mass of the Milky Way galaxy. The experiment is based on calculated light travel times along orthogonal directions in the Schwarzschild metric of the Galactic center. We show that the difference is proportional to

Mapping the Outcomes of Stellar Evolution in the Disks of Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The disks of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are expected to be populated by numerous stars, either formed in the outer regions of the disk via gravitational instability or captured from the nearby nuclear star cluster.

Apoastron Shift Constraints on Dark Matter Distribution at the Galactic Center

open access: yes, 2007
The existence of dark matter (DM) at scales of few pc down to $\simeq 10^{-5}$ pc around the centers of galaxies and in particular in the Galactic Center region has been considered in the literature. Under the assumption that such a DM clump, principally

X-Rays from a Central “Exhaust Vent” of the Galactic Center Chimney

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Using deep archival observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we present an analysis of linear X-ray-emitting features located within the southern portion of the Galactic center chimney and oriented orthogonal to the Galactic plane, centered at ...

Multi-Wavelength Observations and Modeling of Loop I

open access: yesGalaxies, 2018
The article aims to overview the origin and current dynamical state of a giant structure on the northern galactic sky—the radio Loop I extending from ≈ − 45 ∘ to ≈ + 45 ∘ in longitudes and up to ≈ 80 ...

The luminosity of the Galactic center

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1992
High signal-to-noise 50- and 90-micron continuum maps of the central 5 x 4 arcmin of the Galaxy made from observations on the Kuiper Airborne Observatory are presented. Dust and luminosity distribution models which are consistent with the data are presented.

The Core Mass Function across Galactic Environments. IV. The Galactic Center

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and how it may vary with galactic environment is a matter of debate. Certain star formation theories involve a close connection between the IMF and the core mass function (CMF), so it is important to ...

A study of dipolar signal in distant Quasars with various observables

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
We study the signal of anisotropy in AGNs/quasars of CatWISE2020 catalogue using different observables. It has been reported earlier that this data shows a strong signal of dipole anisotropy in the source number counts.

Anomalies in the gamma-ray diffuse emission of the Galaxy and implications for the interpretation of IceCube results

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Several independent analyzes of Fermi-LAT results found evidences of an excess of γ -ray diffuse emission along the inner Galactic plane and of a related spatial dependence of the cosmic ray (CR) proton spectral index.
