Absolute Motion of the Infrared Counterpart to Sagittarius A* in the Gaia Celestial Reference Frame 3 and Limits on an Intermediate-mass Black Hole Companion
Rebecca A. Lewis-Merrill, Tuan Do, Matthew W. Hosek +9
We report the first proper motion and acceleration measurements of the infrared (IR) counterpart to Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*-IR), the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of…
A Kinematic Study of Wolf-Rayet Stars at the Galactic Center I: Binary Candidates and Constraints on the Binary Fraction
Rory O. Bentley, Tuan Do, Andrea Ghez +13
We report the binary fraction of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars within 0.5~pc of the Galactic center obtained through the longest time-baseline (1994-2024) kinematic study of this populatio…
IRS 9: The Case for a Dynamically-Ejected Star from the Galactic Center
Matthew Hosek, Tuan Do, Smadar Naoz +7
Measuring stellar motions at the Milky Way's Galactic center (GC) provides unique insight into the dynamical processes within galactic nuclei. We present proper motion measurements…
The HST-Gaia Near-Infrared Astrometric Reference Frame near the Milky Way Galactic Center
Matthew W. Hosek, Tuan Do, Gregory D. Martinez +5
We present the first high-precision proper motion catalog, tied to the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS), of infrared astrometric reference stars within R 25"…
Structure and Dynamics of the Young Massive Star Cluster Westerlund 1
Lingfeng Wei, Matthew W. Hosek, Jessica R. Lu +8
We present a structural analysis of the young massive star cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1). With multi-epoch Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations, we measure the proper motions of…
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…
