Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in the Galactic star formation rate and density thresholds for star formation
Steven N. Longmore,John Bally,Leonardo Testi,Leonardo Testi,Cormac Purcell,Cormac Purcell,Andrew Walsh,Eli Bressert,Eli Bressert,M. R. Pestalozzi,Sergio Molinari,Juergen Ott,Luca Cortese,Cara Battersby,Norman Murray,Eve J. Lee,J. M. D. Kruijssen,Eugenio Schisano,Davide Elia +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the current star formation rate in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is an order-of-magnitude lower than the rates predicted by the currently accepted prescriptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Giant magnetized outflows from the centre of the Milky Way
Ettore Carretti,Roland M. Crocker,Lister Staveley-Smith,Marijke Haverkorn,Marijke Haverkorn,Cormac Purcell,Bryan Gaensler,Gianni Bernardi,M. J. Kesteven,Sergio Poppi +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the radio lobes originate in a biconical, star-formation-driven (rather than black-hole-driven) outflow from the Galaxy’s central 200 parsecs that transports a huge amount of magnetic energy into the Galactic halo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beam Size, Shape and Efficiencies for the ATNF Mopra Radio Telescope at 86-115 GHz
TL;DR: The performance of the Mopra Radio Telescope during the period 2000-2004 was investigated in this paper, including measurements of the beam size and shape, as well as the overall beam efficiency of the telescope.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jones,N. Lo,N. Lo,Steven N. Longmore,Steven N. Longmore,Vicki Lowe,Vicki Lowe,Chris Phillips,Cormac Purcell,Mark Thompson,James Urquhart,Maxim Voronkov,Graeme L. White,Matthew Whiting +26 more
TL;DR: The first results of the H2O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS) using the Mopra Radio Telescope with a broadband backend and a beam size of about 2 arcmin were reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
G0.253 + 0.016: a molecular cloud progenitor of an arches-like cluster
Steven N. Longmore,Steven N. Longmore,Jill Rathborne,Nate Bastian,João Alves,Joana Ascenso,John Bally,Leonardo Testi,Andy Longmore,Cara Battersby,Eli Bressert,Eli Bressert,Cormac Purcell,Cormac Purcell,Andrew Walsh,James M. Jackson,Jonathan B. Foster,Sergio Molinari,Stefan Meingast,António Amorim,João Paulo Matos Santos Lima,R. Marques,André Moitinho,J. Pinhao,José Manuel Rebordão,Filipe Duarte Santos +25 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make use of existing multi-wavelength data including recently available far-IR continuum and mm spectral line (H2O Southern Galactic Plane Survey and Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz Survey) data and present new, deep, multiple-filter, near-IR (Very Large Telescope/NACO) observations to study G0.253 + 0.016.
