GAS DYNAMICS IN THE MILKY WAY: A LOW PATTERN SPEED MODEL

ABSTRACT We present gas flow models for the Milky Way based on high-resolution grid-based hydrodynamical simulations. The basic galactic potential we use is from an N-body model constrained by the density of red clump giants in the Galactic bulge. We augment this potential with a nuclear bulge, two...
