A Path to Constraints on Common Envelope Ejection in Massive Binaries: Full Evolutionary Reconstruction of Three Black Hole X-ray Binaries
Zhenwei Li, Dandan Wei, Shi Jia +6
The massive binary common envelope (CE) phase plays a pivotal role in the formation of close black hole/neutron star (BH/NS) binaries, yet significant uncertainties remain in our u…
Chandra X-ray Measurement of Gas-phase Heavy Element Abundances in the Central Parsec of the Galaxy
Ziqian Hua, Zhiyuan Li, Mengfei Zhang +2
Elemental abundances are key to our understanding of star formation and evolution in the Galactic center. Previous work on this topic has been based on infrared (IR) observations,…
Evidence of a Decreased Binary Fraction for Massive Stars Within 20 Milliparsecs of the Supermassive Black Hole at the Galactic Center
Devin S. Chu, Tuan Do, Andrea Ghez +12
We present the results of the first systematic search for spectroscopic binaries within the central 2 x 3 arcsec around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky W…
The Star Formation History of the Milky Way's Nuclear Star Cluster
Zhuo Chen, Tuan Do, Andrea M. Ghez +6
We report the first star formation history study of the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster (NSC) that includes observational constraints from a large sample of stellar metallicity me…
Measuring the alpha-abundance of subsolar-metallicity stars in the Milky Way's central half-parsec: testing globular cluster and dwarf galaxy infall scenarios
Rory O. Bentley, Tuan Do, Wolfgang Kerzendorf +4
While the Milky Way Nuclear star cluster has been studied extensively, how it formed is uncertain. Studies have shown it contains a solar and supersolar metallicity population that…
Observation of eccentric binary black hole mergers with second and third generation gravitational wave detector networks
Zhuo Chen, E. A. Huerta, Joseph Adamo +4
[Abridged] We introduce an improved version of the Eccentric, Non-spinning, Inspiral-Gaussian-process Merger Approximant (ENIGMA) waveform model. We find that this ready-to-use mod…
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…
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…
Envisioning the next decade of Galactic Center science: a laboratory for the study of the physics and astrophysics of supermassive black holes
Tuan Do, Andrea Ghez, Jessica R. Lu +38
As the closest example of a galactic nucleus, the Galactic center (GC) presents an exquisite laboratory for learning about supermassive black holes (SMBH) and their environment. We…
