Galactic Dynamics feeding the Galactic Center
arXiv:1311.2738 · doi:10.1017/S1743921314000489
Abstract
We present the hierarchical structure of the gas and its rapid evolution in the central region of a simulation of the entire Milky Way, run at subparsec resolution. We emphasize the coupling between the kpc-scale dynamics, the molecular ring and the central 5 pc disk feeding the super massive black hole.
