The Sun is in the midplane of our Galaxy about 1/3rd of the distance out from the center,
but what does our Galaxy really look like?

Going from 2d to 3d : Turning Pictures into a Galactic Map
There are no rulers that can be observed in our Galaxy.
But there are types of stars called Red Clump Giants for which we know the intrinsic brightness. They are also fairly common and bright and can be used to trace the structure of the Galaxy. These can be used to measure distances; stars twice as far away are four times fainter.

Summary and Future • Mapping of our Galaxy in the infrared using the Spitzer Space Telescope (and the
Herschel Space Telescope) has informed us about the structure of our Galaxy and the lifecycle of stars (in particular how they form and what happens when they die)
• The maps of our Galaxy answer many questions in NASA’s Cosmic Origins program
• Future studies of star formation will be conducted with the James Webb Telescope which will provide a more detailed view of the process
• Future mapping of the structure of our Galaxy will be done by WFIRST which will make the first stellar map of the far side of the Galaxy
• All of these programs have greatly benefitted from citizen scientists who have made many discoveries by examining the large maps of the Galactic plane produced with Spitzer

Summary
• Supernova represent the violent endpoints in the evolution of some stars
- they are responsible for the formation of heavy elements, and in particular the bulk of the metals that we observe in the universe
- some supernova remnants are responsible for accelerating particles up to very high energies. We see evidence for this in the acceleration of electrons by highly amplified magnetic fields found in supernova shocks
- by combining data from several NASA missions such as Chandra and NuSTAR, we are able to test theories for the evolution of massive stars as well as theories for the synthesis of heavy elements in supernova explosions, thus addressing fundamental questions posed by NASA in relation to how the universe works

How do we find them?
Planets pull on their host stars … this tells us their mass
Planets block the light from their host stars … this tells us their size
In the last 21 years we have found over 3370 exoplanets!

Finding the Galactic Center
Rougoor & Oort (1959)
To Earth
Until the 1950s the accepted location of the GC was off by >30 degrees! Radio astronomy allowed mapping of interstellar gas dynamics The direction of the GC is now known extremely precisely: Sagittarius A*
![Page 37: Our Home, the Milky Way Galaxy - Universe of Learning€¦ · Milky Way is a Sort-of Active Galaxy A weak jet interacting with ionized gas in the inner few light years VLA radio observations](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042917/5f5c79c3b12ecc6bb9409635/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Sagittarius A* is a Massive Black Hole
Tracking motions of individual massive stars in orbit around it has allowed its mass to be estimated (~4 million solar masses) Implied density confirms its black hole nature

Active Galactic Nuclei
So-called active galaxies have intense, variable, ‘non-thermal’ emission associated with accretion disks of matter around their central black holes Depending on the wavelength and direction, this nuclear emission can dominate the output of the entire galaxy A related phenomenon is nuclear jets of high-energy particles Centaurus A is a relatively nearby example

Other Gamma-Ray Signals from the Galactic Center: Dark Matter?
~20 degrees
Excess Gamma Rays from the Galactic Center region (at energies 100-300 million times visible light)
Daylan et al. (2016)
But…
On a smaller angular scale and at lower energies, the central part of the Milky Way is glowing more brightly than expected One possibility is that this is indirect evidence for particle dark matter The energy distribution of gamma rays suggests a particle mass of about 30x the mass of the proton
![Page 42: Our Home, the Milky Way Galaxy - Universe of Learning€¦ · Milky Way is a Sort-of Active Galaxy A weak jet interacting with ionized gas in the inner few light years VLA radio observations](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042917/5f5c79c3b12ecc6bb9409635/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Gamma-ray excess: Dark Matter or Not?
The Milky Way (and all galaxies) have several times more mass than can be accounted for by stars and gas The dark matter is so far known only from its gravitational effects One plausible theory is that it is so-called WIMPs that do not interact with light (of course) but can annihilate each other Gamma rays from the resulting particle cascades would be observed where dark matter is concentrated, such as the center of the Milky Way
The implied annihilation rate is in tension with limits from dwarf galaxy satellites of the Milky Way The central Milky Way should contain a large, broadly distributed population of millisecond pulsars Millisecond pulsars are gamma-ray sources At the distance of the Galactic center Fermi could not detect them individually, just a glow from their overall distribution
Pros Cons

Summary • Starting ~60 years ago observations outside the visible range opened up the
possibility to find and study the Galactic Center
• This has been advanced by NASA missions for infrared, X-rays and gamma rays and by ground-based radio and near-infrared observatories
• Sgr A* has been found to be a massive black hole powering a (currently) weakly active galaxy
• In gamma rays, study of the Galactic center is also motivated by the search for new particle physics, indirect detection of dark matter
• This is a very active area of research and requires understanding still more about the center of the Milky Way
• The work described here is within NASA’s Physics of the Cosmos objective in the category of How does the universe work?
