Accurate photometry with adaptive optics in the presence of anisoplanatic effects with a sparsely sampled PSF

R. Schoedel

Anisoplanatic effects can cause significant systematic photometric uncertainty in the analysis of dense stellar fields observed with adaptive optics. Program packages have been dev…

Near infrared flares of Sagittarius A*: Importance of near infrared polarimetry

M. Zamaninasab, A. Eckart, G. Witzel +11

We report on the results of new simulations of near-infrared (NIR) observations of the Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) counterpart associated with the super-massive black hole at the Galac…

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…

The nuclear star cluster of the Milky Way: proper motions and mass

R. Schoedel, D. Merritt, A. Eckart

Nuclear star clusters (NSCs) are located at the photometric and dynamical centers of the majority of galaxies. They are among the densest star clusters in the Universe. The NSC in…
