Evidence of a Cloud–Cloud Collision from Overshooting Gas in the Galactic Center

Evidence of a Cloud–Cloud Collision from Overshooting Gas in the Galactic Center

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with bar lanes that bring gas toward the Galactic center. Gas flowing along these bar lanes often overshoots, and instead of accreting onto the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), it collides with the bar lane on the opposite side of the Galaxy.
