The orbit of the star S2 around SgrA* from VLT and Keck data

S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, T. K. Fritz +5

Two recent papers (Ghez et al. 2008, Gillessen et al. 2009) have estimated the mass of and the distance to the massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way using stellar orbit…

What is limiting near-infrared astrometry in the Galactic Center?

Tobias K. Fritz, Stefan Gillessen, Sascha Trippe +7

We systematically investigate the error sources for high-precision astrometry from adaptive optics based near-infrared imaging data. We focus on the application in the crowded stel…

Evidence for X-ray synchrotron emission from simultaneous mid-IR to X-ray observations of a strong Sgr A* flare

K. Dodds-Eden, D. Porquet, G. Trap +22

This paper reports measurements of Sgr A* made with NACO in L' -band (3.80 um), Ks-band (2.12 um) and H-band (1.66 um) and with VISIR in N-band (11.88 um) at the ESO VLT, as well a…
