High-Resolution, Mid-Infrared Color Temperature Mapping of the Central 10 Arcseconds of the Galaxy

Cuc K. Dinh, Anna Cuirlo, Mark R. Morris +3

The neighborhood of the Galactic black hole boasts a plethora of extended interstellar gas and dust features as well as populations of compact (unresolved, or marginally resolved)…

The JWST Galactic Center Survey -- A White Paper

Rainer Schoedel, Steve Longmore, Jonny Henshaw +111

The inner hundred parsecs of the Milky Way hosts the nearest supermassive black hole, largest reservoir of dense gas, greatest stellar density, hundreds of massive main and post ma…

The Galactic Center with Roman

Sean K. Terry, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +31

We advocate for a Galactic center (GC) field to be added to the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The new field would yield high-cadence photometric and astrometric measur…

MUSE adaptive-optics spectroscopy confirms dual active galactic nuclei and strongly lensed systems at sub-arcsec separation

M. Scialpi, F. Mannucci, C. Marconcini +21

The novel Gaia Multi Peak (GMP) technique has proven to be able to successfully select dual and lensed AGN candidates at sub-arcsec separations. Both populations are important beca…

GMP-selected dual and lensed AGNs: selection function and classification based on near-IR colors and resolved spectra from VLT/ERIS, KECK/OSIRIS, and LBT/LUCI

F. Mannucci, M. Scialpi, A. Ciurlo +44

The Gaia-Multi-Peak (GMP) technique can be used to identify large numbers of dual or lensed AGN candidates at sub-arcsec separation, allowing us to study both multiple SMBHs in the…

Evidence of a Decreased Binary Fraction for Massive Stars Within 20 Milliparsecs of the Supermassive Black Hole at the Galactic Center

Devin S. Chu, Tuan Do, Andrea Ghez +12

We present the results of the first systematic search for spectroscopic binaries within the central 2 x 3 arcsec around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky W…

Stellar Populations in the Central 0.5 pc of Our Galaxy III: The Dynamical Sub-structures

Siyao Jia, Ningyuan Xu, Jessica R. Lu +12

We measure the 3D kinematic structures of the young stars within the central 0.5 parsec of our Galactic Center using the 10 m telescopes of the W.~M.~Keck Observatory over a time s…

The Swansong of the Galactic Center Source X7: An Extreme Example of Tidal Evolution near the Supermassive Black Hole

Anna Ciurlo, Randall D. Campbell, Mark R. Morris +14

We present two decades of new high-angular-resolution near-infrared data from the W. M. Keck Observatory that reveal extreme evolution in X7, an elongated dust and gas feature, pre…

New multiple AGN systems with sub-arcsec separation: confirmation of candidates selected via the novel GMP method

A. Ciurlo, F. Mannucci, S. Yeh +18

The existence of multiple active galactic nuclei (AGN) at small projected distances on the sky is due to either the presence of multiple, in-spiraling SMBHs, or to gravitational le…
