New map of Milky Way in atomic hydrogen reveals its clumped 'flocculent' nature for first time
Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, the Pei-Ling Chan Endowed Chair at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has co-authored a paper that uses young stars to develop a more accurate map of the outer gas disk of the Milky Way galaxy.
A First in Astronomy: Scientists Reveal Map of Milky Way's Gas Disk with Surprising "Clumpy" Structure!
A groundbreaking study led by Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, in collaboration with Dr. Peter Craig, has introduced a more precise map of the outer gas disk of the Milky Way. This study, published in The Astrophysical Journal and available on arXiv, utilizes a novel technique to overcome the limitations of earlier methods, providing new insights into the structure of our galaxy. Presented at the 246th meeting of the American Astronomical Society (AAS 2…
Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, President of PEI-Ling Chan Doed at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), part of the University of Alabama system, co-authored an article that uses young stars to develop a more accurate map of the external gas disk of the Milky Way galaxy. The results are [...]
The central black hole of the Milky Way rotates even faster than previously thought – it rotates with 80 to 90 percent of the maximum possible. Sagittarius A*'s rotation axis shows almost exactly to Earth. This resulted in an AI-based reanalysis of data from the Event Horizon radio telescope network. It also suggests that the emissions near the black hole do not originate from a jet, but from extremely hot, energy-rich electrons, as the astronom…
