The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way shows several peculiar properties: a large star formation rate (SFR), some of the most massive young star clusters and molecular clouds in the Galaxy, and a twisted ring morphology in molecular gas. In this paper, I use smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations to show that most of these properties can be explained as due to a recent outburst of ...
