The hidden chemistry at the heart of the Milky Way
Adam Ginsburg, an astrochemist and University of Florida astronomer, and Steve Longmore, a Liverpool John Moores astrophysicist who leads the ALMA Galactic Center survey. They unpack ALMA’s huge, color-coded Milky Way mosaic. They describe swirling molecular filaments, how specific molecules act like fingerprints, mysterious ultra-broad-line objects, and what the center’s conditions reveal about star formation and galaxy centers.
