Measuring the effects of General Relativity at the Galactic Center with Future Extremely Large Telescopes
Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees, Arezu Dehghanfar +2
The Galactic center offers us a unique opportunity to test General Relativity (GR) with the orbits of stars around a supermassive black hole. Observations of these stars have been…
The Post-Periapse Evolution of Galactic Center Source G1: The second case of a resolved tidal interaction with a supermassive black hole
Gunther Witzel, Breann. N. Sitarski, Andrea M. Ghez +13
We present new Adaptive Optics (AO) imaging and spectroscopic measurements of Galactic Center source G1 from W. M. Keck Observatory. Our goal is to understand its nature and relati…
Testing the gravitational theory with short-period stars around our Galactic Center
A. Hees, A. M. Ghez, T. Do +19
Motion of short-period stars orbiting the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center has been monitored for more than 20 years. These observations are currently offering a new…
Testing General Relativity with stellar orbits around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center
A. Hees, T. Do, A. M. Ghez +14
In this Letter, we demonstrate that short-period stars orbiting around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center can successfully be used to probe the gravitational theory…
Statistical Challenges in Fitting Stellar Orbits around the Supermassive Black Hole at the Galactic Center
Gregory Martinez, Kelly Kosmo, Aurelien Hees +2
Over two decades of astrometric and radial velocity data of short period stars in the Galactic center have the potential to provide unprecedented tests of General Relativity and in…
