The Demographics of Sagittarius A* X-ray Flares over 25 Years with Chandra

Zach Sumners, Nicole M. Ford, Daryl Haggard +10

We present the Chandra 25-year Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) X-ray flare catalog: a systematic analysis of 6.8 Ms of Sgr A* monitoring spanning the Chandra X-ray Observatory's mission li…

Ionization Structure and Metal Enrichment of the Galactic Center Minispiral Observed with JWST

Nicole M Ford, Mayura Balakrishnan, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg +11

Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is the nearest quiescent supermassive black hole, and its proximity offers a unique opportunity to study its surrounding fuel supply. We leverage extensive…

Infrared Line Diagnostics Fail to Constrain Sgr A*'s UV Output

Mayura Balakrishnan, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Daryl Haggard +11

Sgr A*, the 4 x supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, exhibits frequent flaring with X-ray luminosities of erg s, while i…

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…

Infrared Fluxes and Light Curves of Near-Earth Objects: The full Spitzer Sample

Joseph L. Hora, Alicia J. Allen, David E. Trilling +2

The IRAC camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope observed 2175 Near Earth Objects (NEOs) during its Warm Mission phase, primarily in three large surveys, and also in a small number o…

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…

General Relativistic effects and the NIR variability of Sgr A* II: A systematic approach to temporal asymmetry

Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Gunther Witzel, Michi Bauboeck +20

A systematic study, based on the third-moment structure function, of Sgr A*'s variability finds an exponential rise time and de…

Multiwavelength Observations of Sgr A*. II. 2019 July 21 and 26

Joseph M. Michail, Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, Mark Wardle +6

We report on the final two days of a multiwavelength campaign of Sgr A* observing in the radio, submillimeter, infrared, and X-ray bands in July 2019. Sgr A* was remarkably active,…

A broad linewidth, compact, millimeter-bright molecular emission line source near the Galactic Center

Adam Ginsburg, John Bally, Ashley T. Barnes +37

A compact source, G0.02467-0.0727, was detected in ALMA \threemm observations in continuum and very broad line emission. The continuum emission has a spectral index ,…

Simultaneous X-ray and Infrared Observations of Sagittarius A*'s Variability

H. Boyce, D. Haggard, G. Witzel +11

Emission from Sgr A* is highly variable at both X-ray and infrared (IR) wavelengths. Observations over the last ~20 years have revealed X-ray flares that rise above a quiescent the…
