Toward understanding massive star formation
H Zinnecker, HW Yorke - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Although fundamental for astrophysics, the processes that produce massive stars are not
well understood. Large distances, high extinction, and short timescales of critical …

Giant gamma-ray bubbles from Fermi-LAT: active galactic nucleus activity or bipolar galactic wind?
M Su, TR Slatyer, DP Finkbeiner - The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Data from the Fermi-LAT reveal two large gamma-ray bubbles, extending 50 above and
below the Galactic center (GC), with a width of about 40 in longitude. The gamma-ray …
