The origin of sub-TeV gamma rays detected by the \textit{Fermi}-Large Area Telescope (LAT) from the \textit{Fermi} Bubbles (FBs) at the Galactic center is still uncertain. In a hadronic model, acceleration of protons and/or nuclei and their…

We report new observations from a systematic, spectroscopic, ultraviolet absorption-line survey that maps the spatial and kinematic properties of the high-velocity gas in the Galactic Center region. We examine the hypothesis that this gas…

The origin of the Fermi bubbles, which constitute two gamma-ray emitting lobes above and below the Galactic plane, remains unclear. The possibility that this Fermi bubbles gamma-ray emission originates from hadronic cosmic rays advected by…

Recent evidence for an excess of gamma rays in the GeV energy range about the Galactic Center have refocused attention on models of dark matter in the low mass regime ($m_\chi \lesssim m_Z/2$). Because this is an experimentally well-trod…

We report a possible detection of TeV gamma-rays from the Galactic Center by the Whipple 10m gamma-ray telescope. Twenty-six hours of data were taken over an extended period from 1995 through 2003 resulting in a total significance of 3.7…

The $l=-1.2^{\circ}$ region in the Galactic center has a high CO $J$=3-2/$J$=1-0 intensity ratio and extremely broad velocity width. This paper reports the detection of five expanding shells in the $l=-1.2^{\circ}$ region based on the CO…

A subset of the unidentified EGRET gamma-ray sources with no active galactic nucleus or other conspicuous counterpart appears to be concentrated at medium latitudes. Their long-term variability and their spatial distribution indicate that…

The complex interplay of processes at the Galactic Center is at the heart of numerous past, present, and (likely) future mysteries. We aim at a more complete understanding of how spectra extending to >10 TeV result. We first construct a…

We combine adaptive template fitting and pixel count statistics in order to assess the nature of the Galactic center excess in Fermi-LAT data. We reconstruct the flux distribution of point sources well below the Fermi-LAT detection…

The morphology and characteristics of the so-called GeV gamma-ray excess detected in the Milky Way lead us to speculate about a possible common origin with the 511 keV line mapped by the SPI experiment about ten years ago. In the previous…

Recently, an analysis of data from the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope has revealed a flux of gamma rays concentrated around the inner ~0.5 degrees of the Milky Way, with a spectrum that is sharply peaked at 2-4 GeV. If interpreted as the…

Fermi has discovered two giant gamma-ray-emitting bubbles that extend nearly 10kpc in diameter north and south of the galactic center (GC). The existence of the bubbles was first evidenced in X-rays detected by ROSAT and later WMAP detected…

A gamma-ray excess from the galactic center consistent with line emission around 130 GeV was recently found in the Fermi-LAT data. Although the Fermi-LAT Collaboration has not confirmed its significance, such a signal would be a clear…

We construct a simple model of the star-formation- (and resultant supernova-) driven mass and energy flows through the inner ~200 pc (in diameter) of the Galaxy. Our modelling is constrained, in particular, by the non-thermal radio…

The nearby Orion-Eridanus superbubble, which was blown by multiple supernovae several Myr ago, has likely produced cosmic rays. Its turbulent medium, still energised by massive stars, can impact cosmic-ray transport locally. The gamma rays…
