On Socially Distant Neighbors: Using Binaries to Constrain the Density of Objects in the Galactic Center
Sanaea C. Rose, Smadar Naoz, Abhimat K. Gautam +4
Stars often reside in binary configurations. The nuclear star cluster surrounding the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the Galactic Center (GC) is expected to include a binary pop…
SPISEA: A Python-Based Simple Stellar Population Synthesis Code for Star Clusters
M. W. Hosek, J. R. Lu, C. Y. Lam +4
We present SPISEA (Stellar Population Interface for Stellar Evolution and Atmospheres), an open-source Python package that simulates simple stellar populations. The strength of SPI…
Search for a Variation of the Fine Structure around the Supermassive Black Hole in Our Galactic Center
A. Hees, T. Do, B. M. Roberts +11
Searching for space-time variations of the constants of Nature is a promising way to search for new physics beyond General Relativity and the standard model motivated by unificatio…
Consistency of the Infrared Variability of Sgr A* over 22 years
Zhuo Chen, E. Gallego-Cano, T. Do +14
We report new infrared measurements of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, over a decade that was previously inaccessible at these wavelengths. This enables…
Unprecedented variability of Sgr A* in NIR
Tuan Do, Gunther Witzel, Abhimat K. Gautam +10
The electromagnetic counterpart to the Galactic center supermassive black hole, Sgr A*, has been observed in the near-infrared for over 20 years and is known to be highly variable.…
Relativistic redshift of the star S0-2 orbiting the Galactic center supermassive black hole
Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees, Andrea Ghez +26
General Relativity predicts that a star passing close to a supermassive black hole should exhibit a relativistic redshift. We test this using observations of the Galactic center st…
