High-Resolution, Mid-Infrared Color Temperature Mapping of the Central 10 Arcseconds of the Galaxy
Cuc K. Dinh, Anna Cuirlo, Mark R. Morris +3
The neighborhood of the Galactic black hole boasts a plethora of extended interstellar gas and dust features as well as populations of compact (unresolved, or marginally resolved)…
Origin of an Orbiting Star Around the Galactic Supermassive Black Hole
Shogo Nishiyama, Tomohiro Kara, Brian Thorsbro +6
The tremendous tidal force that is linked to the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of our galaxy is expected to strongly subdue star formation in its vicinity. Stars wit…
Co-moving groups around massive stars in the Nuclear Stellar Disk
Á. Martínez-Arranz, R. Schödel, F. Nogueras-Lara +2
During the last 30 Myr the nuclear stellar disk in the Galactic center has been the most prolific star forming region of the Milky Way when averaged by volume. Remarkably, t…
The formation history of our Galaxy's nuclear stellar disc constrained from HST observations of the Quintuplet field
R. Schoedel, F. Nogueras-Lara, M. Hosek +9
Until recently it was thought that the nuclear stellar disc at the centre of our Galaxy was formed via quasi-continuous star formation over billions of years. However, an analysis…
The K-band highest-resolution images of the Mira star R Car with GRAVITY-VLTI
A. Rosales-Guzman, J. Sanchez-Bermudez, C. Paladini +11
The mass-loss mechanisms in M-type AGB stars are not well understood, in particular, the formation of dust-driven winds from the innermost gaseous layers around these stars. One wa…
The Swansong of the Galactic Center Source X7: An Extreme Example of Tidal Evolution near the Supermassive Black Hole
Anna Ciurlo, Randall D. Campbell, Mark R. Morris +14
We present two decades of new high-angular-resolution near-infrared data from the W. M. Keck Observatory that reveal extreme evolution in X7, an elongated dust and gas feature, pre…
