Detection and Evolution of Linear Polarization of the Galactic Center Transient MAXI J1744-294
Joseph M. Michail, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Mayura Balakrishnan +14
MAXI J1744294, likely a low-mass X-ray binary system, is a Galactic-center transient source, detected at radio and X-ray wavelengths, located approximately southeast of S…
Photometric Constraints on Intermediate-mass Black Holes in the Galactic Centre
Tamojeet Roychowdhury, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Joseph M. Michail +14
JWST/MIRI observations can place photometric limits on the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) near the Galactic Centre. The stellar complex IRS 13E, a co-moving con…
First Mid-infrared Detection and Modeling of a Flare from Sgr A*. II. Mid-IR Spectral Energy Distribution and Millimeter Polarimetry
Joseph M. Michail, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Garrett K. Keating +20
S. D. von Fellenberg et al. (2025a, Paper I) reported the first mid-infrared detection of a flare from Sgr A*. The JWST/MIRI/MRS observations were consistent with an orbiting hotsp…
First mid-infrared detection and modeling of a flare from Sgr A*
Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Tamojeet Roychowdhury, Joseph M. Michail +24
The time-variable emission from the accretion flow of Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, has long been examined in the radio-to-mm, near-infrared (NIR), an…
GRAVITY K-band spectroscopy of HD 206893 B: brown dwarf or exoplanet
J. Kammerer, S. Lacour, T. Stolker +94
We aim to reveal the nature of the reddest known substellar companion HD 206893 B by studying its near-infrared colors and spectral morphology and by investigating its orbital moti…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey V. The orbit of the T Tauri binary star WW Cha
GRAVITY Collaboration, F. Eupen, L. Labadie +60
The young T Tauri star WW Cha was recently proposed to be a close binary object with strong infrared and submillimeter excess associated with circum-system emission. This makes WW…
The ExoGRAVITY project: using single mode interferometry to characterize exoplanets
S. Lacour, J. J. Wang, M. Nowak +89
Combining adaptive optics and interferometric observations results in a considerable contrast gain compared to single-telescope, extreme AO systems. Taking advantage of this, the E…
Detection of the Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +53
The star S2 orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* is a precision probe of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole (candidate). Over the last 2.7 decades we…
A geometric distance measurement to the Galactic Center black hole with 0.3% uncertainty
R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauboeck +51
We present a 0.16% precise and 0.27% accurate determination of R0, the distance to the Galactic Center. Our measurement uses the star S2 on its 16-year orbit around the massive bla…
Spectroscopic Detection of a Cusp of Late-type Stars around the Central Black Hole in the Milky Way
M. Habibi, S. Gillessen, O. Pfuhl +12
In a dynamically relaxed cluster around a massive black hole a dense stellar cusp of old stars is expected to form. Previous observations showed a relative paucity of red giant sta…
Detection of a drag force in G2's orbit: Measuring the density of the accretion flow onto Sgr A* at 1000 Schwarzschild radii
S. Gillessen, P. M. Plewa, F. Widmann +14
The Galactic Center black hole Sgr A* is the archetypical example of an underfed massive black hole. The extremely low accretion rate can be understood in radiatively inefficient a…
A Detection of Sgr A* in the far infrared
Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Stefan Gillessen, Javier Graciá-Carpio +14
We report the first detection of the Galactic Centre massive black hole, Sgr~A*, in the far infrared. Our measurements were obtained with PACS on board the \emph{Herschel} satellit…
