3D CMZ. IV. Distinguishing Near versus Far Distances in the Galactic Center Using Spitzer and Herschel

A comprehensive 3D model of the central 300 pc of the Milky Way, the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is of fundamental importance in understanding energy cycles in galactic nuclei, since the 3D structure influences the location and intensity of star formation, feedback, and black hole accretion. Curren...
