Investigating the Binarity of S0-2: Implications for its Origins and Robustness as a Probe of the Laws of Gravity around a Supermassive Black Hole
Devin S. Chu, Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees +8
The star S0-2, which orbits the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in our Galaxy with a period of 16 years, provides the strongest constraint on both the mass of the SMBH and the dista…

Testing the gravitational theory with short-period stars around our Galactic Center
A. Hees, A. M. Ghez, T. Do +19
Motion of short-period stars orbiting the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center has been monitored for more than 20 years. These observations are currently offering a new…

Testing General Relativity with stellar orbits around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center
A. Hees, T. Do, A. M. Ghez +14
In this Letter, we demonstrate that short-period stars orbiting around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center can successfully be used to probe the gravitational theory…
