Discovery of a Giant Molecular Cloud at the Midpoint of the Galactic Bar Dust Lanes: M4.7–0.8

Discovery of a Giant Molecular Cloud at the Midpoint of the Galactic Bar Dust Lanes: M4.7–0.8

We present the detection of a previously unknown giant molecular cloud (GMC) located at the midpoint of the Galactic Bar Dust Lanes (M4.7–0.8), using spectral line observations taken with the Green Bank Telescope. This  ∼60 pc long GMC is associated with accreting material that is transitioning from...
