The nuclear star cluster of the Milky Way

R. Schoedel, D. Merritt, A. Eckart

The nuclear star cluster of the Milky Way is a unique target in the Universe. Contrary to extragalactic nuclear star clusters, using current technology it can be resolved into tens…

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…

Coordinated multi-wavelength observations of Sgr A*

A. Eckart, R. Schoedel, F. K. Baganoff +26

We report on recent near-infrared (NIR) and X-ray observations of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the electromagnetic manifestation of the ~4x10^6 solar masses super-massive black hole (S…

An evolving hot spot orbiting around Sgr A*

M. Zamaninasab, A. Eckart, L. Meyer +9

Here we report on recent near-infrared observations of the Sgr A* counterpart associated with the super-massive ~ 4x10^6 M_sun black hole at the Galactic Center. We find that the M…

Results from an extensive simultaneous broadband campaign on the underluminous active nucleus M81*: further evidence for mass-scaling accretion in black holes

S. Markoff, M. Nowak, A. Young +13

We present the results of a broadband simultaneous campaign on the nearby low-luminosity active galactic nucleus M81*. From February through August 2005, we observed M81* five time…
