A multiwavelength study of the Galactic center black hole candidate MAXI J1744-294
Shifra Mandel, Kaya Mori, Paul A. Draghis +37
For the first time in nearly a decade, a bright transient was detected in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy. MAXI J1744-294, or -- as it was known in its previous life -- Swift…
New Evidence for a Flux-independent Spectral Index of Sgr A* in the Near-infrared
Hadrien Paugnat, Tuan Do, Abhimat K. Gautam +11
In this work, we measure the spectral index of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) between the (1.6 m) and (2.2 m) broadband filters in the near-infrared (NIR), sampling o…
The Impact of Initial-Final Mass Relations on Black Hole Microlensing
Sam Rose, Casey Y. Lam, Jessica R. Lu +5
Uncertainty in the initial-final mass relation (IFMR) has long been a problem in understanding the final stages of massive star evolution. One of the major challenges of constraini…
The former companion of the hyper-velocity star S5-HVS1
Wenbin Lu, Jim Fuller, Yael Raveh +4
The hyper-velocity star S5-HVS1, ejected 5 Myr ago from the Galactic Center at 1800 km/s, was most likely produced by tidal break-up of a tight binary by the supermassive black hol…
