IRS 13N: a new comoving group of sources at the Galactic Center

K. Muzic, R. Schoedel, A. Eckart +2

Context: The Galactic Center IRS 13E cluster is located ~3.2'' from SgrA*. It is an extremely dense stellar association containing several Wolf-Rayet and O-type stars, at least fou…

Compact mid-IR sources east of galactic center source IRS5

M. Perger, J. Moultaka, A. Eckart +3

There are four less prominent compact sources east of IRS5, the natures of which were unclear until now. We present near-infrared K-band long slit spectroscopy of the four sources…

Polarized NIR and X-ray Flares from SgrA*

A. Eckart, F. K. Baganoff, M. Zamaninasab +18

Stellar dynamics indicate the presence of a super massive 3-4x10^6 Msun solm black hole at the Galactic Center. It is associated with the variable radio, near-infrared, and X-ray c…

First proper motions of thin dust filaments at the Galactic Center

K. Muzic, A. Eckart, R. Schoedel +2

Context: L'-band (3.8 micron) images of the Galactic Center show a large number of thin filaments in the mini-spiral, located west of the mini-cavity and along the inner edge of th…

The possibility of detecting Sagittarius A* at 8.6 mum

R. Schoedel, A. Eckart, K. Muzic +3

The Galactic Center was observed at 8.6 mum in order to detect a mid-infrared (MIR) counterpart of Sgr A*, parallel to NIR observations. The goal was to set constraints on possible…

Near-infrared polarimetry setting constraints on the orbiting spot model for Sgr A* flares

L. Meyer, A. Eckart, R. Schoedel +4

Context: Recent near-infrared polarization measurements of SgrA* show that its emission is significantly polarized during flares and consists of a non- or weakly polarized main fla…
