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…
