Coordinated NIR/mm observations of flare emission from Sagittarius A*

D. Kunneriath, G. Witzel, A. Eckart +28

We report on a successful, simultaneous observation and modelling of the millimeter (mm) to near-infrared (NIR) flare emission of the Sgr A* counterpart associated with the superma…

Fading hard X-ray emission from the Galactic Centre molecular cloud Sgr B2

R. Terrier, G. Ponti, G. Belanger +6

The centre of our Galaxy harbours a 4 million solar mass black hole that is unusually quiet: its present X-ray luminosity is more than 10 orders of magnitude less than its Eddingto…

Modeling mm- to X-ray flare emission from SgrA*

A. Eckart, F. K. Baganoff, M. R. Morris +17

We report on new modeling results based on the mm- to X-ray emission of the SgrA* counterpart associated with the massive black hole at the Galactic Center. Our modeling is based o…

Coordinated mm/sub-mm observations of Sagittarius A* in May 2007

D. Kunneriath, A. Eckart, S. Vogel +26

At the center of the Milky Way, with a distance of ~8 kpc, the compact source Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) can be associated with a super massive black hole of ~4x10^6 solar masses. SgrA…

A Catalog of X-ray Point Sources from Two Megaseconds of Chandra Observations of the Galactic Center

M. P. Muno, F. E. Bauer, F. K. Baganoff +23

We present a catalog of 9017 X-ray sources identified in Chandra observations of a 2 by 0.8 degree field around the Galactic center. We increase the number of known X-ray sources i…
