272-375GHz obs. toward SgrA*'s circumnuclear disk
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We report subarcsecond Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations between 272 and 375GHz toward Sgr A*'s circumnuclear disk (CND).
Description
Our data comprise eight individual pointings, with significant SiO (8_7_-7_6_) and SO (7-6) emission detected toward 98 positions within these pointings. Additionally, we identify H2CS (9_1,9_-8_1,8_), OCS (25-24), and CH_3_OH (2_1,1_-2_0,2_) toward a smaller subset of positions.
By using the observed peak line flux density, together with a Bayesian inference technique informed by radiative transfer models, we systematically recover the physical gas conditions toward each of these positions. We estimate that the bulk of the surveyed gas has temperature T_kin_<500K and density n_H_<~10^6^cm^-3^, consistent with previous studies of similar positions as traced by HCN clumps. However, we identify an uncharacteristically hot (T_kin_~600K) and dense (n_H_~10^6^cm^-3^) source in the Northeastern Arm.

This position is found to be approximately consistent with a gravitationally bound region dominated by turbulence. We also identify a nearby cold (T_kin_~60K) and extremely dense (n_H_~10^7^cm^-3^) position that is again potentially bound and dominated by turbulence. We also determine that the total gas mass contained within the CND is M_CND_<~4x10^4^M_{sun}_.
Furthermore, we qualitatively note that the observed chemical enrichment across large scales within the CND is consistent with bulk grain processing, though multiple desorption mechanisms are plausibly responsible. Further chemical modeling is required to identify the physical origin of the grain processing, as well as the localized H2CS and OCS emission.
