Polarimetry and Astrometry of NIR Flares as Event Horizon Scale, Dynamical Probes for the Mass of Sgr A*
The GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +66
We present new astrometric and polarimetric observations of flares from Sgr A* obtained with GRAVITY, the near-infrared interferometer at ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer…
Using the motion of S2 to constrain scalar clouds around SgrA*
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Foschi, R. Abuter +67
The motion of S2, one of the stars closest to the Galactic Centre, has been measured accurately and used to study the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. It is commonly…
Where intermediate-mass black holes could hide in the Galactic Centre: A full parameter study with the S2 orbit
The GRAVITY Collaboration, O. Straub, M. Bauböck +59
In the Milky Way the central massive black hole, SgrA*, coexists with a compact nuclear star cluster that contains a sub-parsec concentration of fast-moving young stars called S-st…
The mass distribution in the Galactic Centre from interferometric astrometry of multiple stellar orbits
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +62
The stars orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* in the Galactic Centre are precision probes of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole. In addition to adap…
Deep Images of the Galactic Center with GRAVITY
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +65
Stellar orbits at the Galactic Center provide a very clean probe of the gravitational potential of the supermassive black hole. They can be studied with unique precision, beyond th…
A geometric distance to the supermassive black Hole of NGC 3783
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +45
The angular size of the broad line region (BLR) of the nearby active galactic nucleus (AGN) NGC 3783 has been spatially resolved by recent observations with VLTI/GRAVITY. A reverbe…
The central parsec of NGC 3783: a rotating broad emission line region, asymmetric hot dust structure, and compact coronal line region
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +47
Using VLTI/GRAVITY and SINFONI data, we investigate the sub-pc gas and dust structure around the nearby type 1 AGN hosted by NGC 3783. The K-band coverage of GRAVITY uniquely allow…
Improved GRAVITY astrometric accuracy from modeling of optical aberrations
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +60
The GRAVITY instrument on the ESO VLTI pioneers the field of high-precision near-infrared interferometry by providing astrometry at the as level. Measurements at such…
Detection of faint stars near SgrA* with GRAVITY
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +58
The spin of the supermassive black hole that resides at the Galactic Centre can in principle be measured by accurate measurements of the orbits of stars that are much closer to Sgr…
Detection of the gravitational redshift in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole
GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +95
The highly elliptical, 16-year-period orbit of the star S2 around the massive black hole candidate Sgr A* is a sensitive probe of the gravitational field in the Galactic centre. Ne…
