Does IRS13 require an intermediate-mass black hole?

Václav Pavlík, Vladimír Karas, Florian Peißker +2

We investigate whether the Galactic-centre association IRS13 requires an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) to remain bound. Using high-precision -body calculations of IRS13-li…

Detection of the Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +53

The star S2 orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* is a precision probe of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole (candidate). Over the last 2.7 decades we…

The GRAVITY Young Stellar Object survey -- I. Probing the disks of Herbig Ae/Be stars in terrestrial orbits

K. Perraut, L. Labadie, B. Lazareff +69

The formation and the evolution of protoplanetary disks are important stages in the lifetime of stars. The processes of disk evolution and planet formation are intrinsically linked…

Monitoring dusty sources in the vicinity of Sgr A*

F. Peißker, S. E. Hosseini, M. Zajacek +5

We trace several dusty infrared sources on their orbit around the supermassive black hole (SMBH) SgrA* in the center of our galaxy. We give an overview of known and unknown sources…

ALMA captures feeding and feedback from the active galactic nucleus in NGC613

A. Audibert, F. Combes, S. García-Burillo +11

We report ALMA observations of CO(3-2) emission in the Seyfert galaxy NGC613, at a spatial resolution of 17pc, as part of our NUclei of GAlaxies sample. Our aim is to investigate t…

A geometric distance measurement to the Galactic Center black hole with 0.3% uncertainty

R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauboeck +51

We present a 0.16% precise and 0.27% accurate determination of R0, the distance to the Galactic Center. Our measurement uses the star S2 on its 16-year orbit around the massive bla…
