A key to a mechanistic understanding is the ability to observe membrane organization with a
spatial resolution on the
molecular level, a temporal
resolution in the micro-second range and sensitivity down to the single molecule without disturbing the system (noninvasive).
Our sample of 107 YSO candidates was selected based on IRAC colors from the high
spatial resolution, high sensitivity Spitzer / IRAC images in the Central
Molecular Zone (CMZ), which spans th... ▽ More We present results from our spectroscopic study, using the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, designed to identify massive young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Galactic Center (GC).
