Results from the AST/RO Survey of the Galactic Center Region
Conference paper
Abstract
We have used the Antarctic Submillimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO), a 1.7m diameter single-dish submillimeter-wave telescope at the geographic South Pole, to determine the physical state of gas in the Galactic Center region and assess its stability. indexsubmillimeter We present an analysis based on data obtained as part of an ongoing AST/RO key project: the large-scale mapping of the dominant cooling lines of the molecular interstellar medium in the Milky Way [1, 2, 3, 4]. These data are released for general use.
