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…
Multiple Star Systems in the Orion Nebula
GRAVITY collaboration, Martina Karl, Oliver Pfuhl +133
This work presents an interferometric study of the massive-binary fraction in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the recently comissioned GRAVITY instrument. We observe a total of 16…
GRAVITY chromatic imaging of Eta Car's core
GRAVITY Collaboration, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, G. Weigelt +132
Eta Car is one of the most intriguing luminous blue variables in the Galaxy. Observations and models at different wavelengths suggest a central binary with a 5.54 yr period residin…
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…
