Wide-Line Molecular Clouds and the Gamma-Ray Deficit Toward the Galactic Center
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 September 2016
Abstract
The discrepancy between observed and predicted γ-ray emission toward the Galactic Center is attributed to a unique population of wide-line molecular clouds. The most prominent objects of this class show evidence of rotation and a significant stellar population. The observed 12CO emission traces the gravitational field produced primarily by stars, not molecular gas.
