Multitemperature mapping of dust structures throughout the Galactic Plane using the PPMAP tool with Herschel Hi‐GAL data [PDF]
We describe new Hi-GAL based maps of the entire Galactic Plane, obtained using continuum data in the wavelength range 70–500 μm. These maps are derived with the PPMAP procedure, and therefore represent a significant improvement over those obtained with ...

The gamma-ray and neutrino sky: A consistent picture of Fermi-LAT, Milagro, and IceCube results [PDF]
We compute the gamma-ray and neutrino diffuse emission of the Galaxy on the basis of a recently proposed phenomenological model characterized by radially dependent cosmic-ray (CR) transport properties.

Search for Extended Sources in the Galactic Plane Using Six Years of Fermi-Large Area Telescope Pass 8 Data above 10 GeV [PDF]
The spatial extension of a γ-ray source is an essential ingredient to determine its spectral properties, as well as its potential multiwavelength counterpart.

Neutrino fluxes from the Galactic plane and the ANTARES limit
The existence of cosmic neutrinos has been reported by the IceCube Collaboration. Though this measurement is consistent with an isotropic neutrino flux, a sub-dominant galactic component coming from extended regions such as the Galactic Plane cannot be ...

Chemical gradients in the Milky Way from the RAVE data. II. Giant stars [PDF]
We provide new constraints on the chemo-dynamical models of the Milky Way by measuring the radial and vertical chemical gradients for the elements Mg, Al, Si, Ti, and Fe in the Galactic disc and the gradient variations as a function of the distance from ...

A Near-infrared RR Lyrae Census along the Southern Galactic Plane: The Milky Way’s Stellar Fossil Brought to Light [PDF]
RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are tracers of the Milky Way’s fossil record, holding valuable information on its formation and early evolution. Owing to the high interstellar extinction endemic to the Galactic plane, distant RRLs lying at low Galactic latitudes ...

On the Shape of Superbubbles Evolving in the Galactic Plane [PDF]
Abstract The galactic supershells are cavities in the interstellar medium. These shells can be explained by introducing the concept of superbubbles, the theoretical result of multiple supernova. The superbubbles can be analytically described if the ambient medium has a constant density both in the so-called bursting phase and in the ...

A Galactic Plane Defined by the Milky Way H ii Region Distribution [PDF]
We develop a framework for a new definition of the Galactic midplane, allowing for tilt ( ; rotation about Galactic azimuth 90°) and roll ( ; rotation about Galactic azimuth 0°) of the midplane with respect to the current definition.

A CENSUS OF LARGE-SCALE (≥10 PC), VELOCITY-COHERENT, DENSE FILAMENTS IN THE NORTHERN GALACTIC PLANE: AUTOMATED IDENTIFICATION USING MINIMUM SPANNING TREE [PDF]
Large-scale gaseous filaments with lengths up to the order of 100 pc are on the upper end of the filamentary hierarchy of the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM).
