A hidden friend for the galactic center black hole, Sgr A*
Smadar Naoz, Clifford M. Will, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +3
The hierarchical nature of galaxy formation suggests that a supermassive black hole binary could exist in our galactic center. We propose a new approach to constraining the possibl…
Eating Planets for Lunch and Dinner: Signatures of Planet Consumption by Evolving Stars
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, B. Scott Gaudi +1
Exoplanets have been observed around stars at all stages of stellar evolution, in many cases orbiting in configurations that will eventually lead to the planets being engulfed or c…
Modeling Turbulence in Galactic Centers
Jesus M. Salas, Mark R. Morris, Smadar Naoz
Turbulence is a prevalent phenomenon in the interstellar medium, and in particular, the environment at the centers of galaxies. For example, detailed observations of the Milky Way'…
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…
Astro2020: Training the Future Generation of Computational Researchers
Gurtina Besla, Daniela Huppenkothen, Nicole Lloyd-Ronning +10
The current disparity in computational knowledge is a critical hindrance to the diversity and success of the field. Recommendations are outlined for policies and funding models to…
Interacting Young M-dwarfs in Triple System -- Par 1802 Binary System Case Study
Shelley J. Cheng, Alec M. Vinson, Smadar Naoz
The binary star Par 1802 in the Orion Nebula presents an interesting puzzle in the field of stellar dynamics and evolution. Binary systems such as Par 1802 are thought to form from…
