In this paper we present the CMZoom survey’s catalog of compact sources (<10″, ∼0.4 pc) within the central molecular zone (CMZ). CMZoom is a Submillimeter Array large program designed to provide a complete and unbiased map of all high column density gas (N(H2)≥1023 cm−2) of the innermost 500 pc of the Galaxy in the 1.3 mm dust continuum. We generate both a robust catalog designed to reduce spurious source detections, and a second catalog with higher completeness, both generated using a pruned dendrogram. In the robust catalog, we report 285 compact sources, or 816 in the high-completeness catalog. These sources have effective radii between 0.04 and 0.4 pc, and are the potential progenitors of star clusters. The masses for both catalogs are dominated by the Sagittarius B2 cloud complex, where masses are likely unreliable due to free–free contamination, uncertain dust temperatures, and line-of-sight confusion. Given the survey selection and completeness, we predict that our robust catalog accounts for more than ∼99% of compact substructure capable of forming high-mass stars in the CMZ. This catalog provides a crucial foundation for future studies of high-mass star formation in the Galactic Center.

CMZoom。二。银河中央分子带紧凑型亚毫米尘埃连续体源目录

在本文中,我们介绍了CMZoom调查的中心分子区域(CMZ)中紧凑源(<10“,〜0.4 pc)的目录。CMZoom是一个亚毫米波阵列大的程序设计为提供所有的高密度柱气体的完整和无偏见的地图(Ñ(H 2)≥10 23厘米-2)在1.3毫米尘埃连续体内最里面500颗银河。我们既生成了旨在减少杂散源检测的健壮目录,又生成了具有更高完整性的第二个目录,它们均使用修剪的树状图生成。在可靠的目录中,我们报告了285个紧凑源,在高度完整性的目录中报告了816个。这些源的有效半径在0.04到0.4 pc之间,并且是星团的潜在祖先。这两个目录的质量均以人马座B2云团为主,由于自由污染,尘埃温度不确定以及视线混乱,质量可能不可靠。鉴于调查的选择和完整性,我们预测,稳健的目录将占能够在CMZ中形成高质量恒星的紧凑子结构的约99%以上。
