| Description: | We analyze the CS ( J = 2-1 ) line cube from the internal data release obtained by the large-scale program "ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey ( ACES ) " to investigate the kinematic structure of the innermost similar to 10 pc region of the Galaxy, which contains the high-velocity compact cloud (HVCC) at (l, b, vLSR) similar to(+0 .degrees 02, -0 .degrees 02, 100 km s-1) ( hereafter G0.02 ) . The longitude-velocity diagram (LVD) of the cloud draws an elliptical structure, which is interpreted as an orbital trajectory in the (l, vLSR) space of a noncircular ( eccentric ) motion of the molecular gas in the gravitational potential of an extended mass distribution in the central 10 pc of the Galaxy. We argue that G0.02 is a kinematic tracer of the inner potential, a rare case of a dense an eccentric orbit in the nuclear field. |
