The effects of the spin and quadrupole moment of SgrA* on the orbits of S stars

K. Abd El Dayem, F. H. Vincent, G. Heissel +2

Measuring the astrometric and spectroscopic data of stars orbiting the central black hole in our galaxy (Sgr A*) offers a promising way to measure relativistic effects. In principl…

A dynamical measure of the black hole mass in a quasar 11 billion years ago

R. Abuter, F. Allouche, A. Amorim +124

Tight relationships exist in the local universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole. These suggest galaxies and black h…

Dark Matter reconstruction from stellar orbits in the Galactic Centre

Thibault Lechien, Gernot Heißel, Jai Grover +1

Context. Current constraints on distributed matter in the innermost Galactic Centre (such as a cluster of faint stars and stellar remnants, Dark Matter or a combination thereof) ba…
