Central Molecular Zones
Nuclear Starburst Galaxy: M83
● CMZs in starburst galaxies are characterized by:− Radius ~ 100 to 300 pc− Large amounts of
dense molecular gas− Strong magnetic fields
and intense radiation fields
− High and highly variable star-formation rates

Star Formation in CMZs
● Kennicutt-Schmidt correlation breaks down in CMZs− SFR in Galactic Center
is down by factor of ~10 from predicted
● Many nearby starbursts with similar gas densities and SFRs− Only a couple detected
in gamma-rays

Summary
Tova M. Yoast-Hull September 2016, 21 / 21
● Starburst Galaxies:○ Sites of intense star-formation and high rates of cosmic
ray interactions.○ Potentially sources of very high energy to ultra high
energy CRs and astrophysical neutrinos.● Radio + Gamma-Rays:
○ Combination of these observations are very powerful in constraining CR & ISM properties.
○ Many new telescopes (CTA, SKA) will be important for CR studies.
● Galaxy Evolution:○ Nearby galaxy examples demonstrate impact of CRs on
ISM & IGM; useful for high redshift studies.
