Flares and variability from Sagittarius A*: five nights of simultaneous multi-wavelength observations

X. Haubois, K. Dodds-Eden, A. Weiss +8

Aims. We report on simultaneous observations and modeling of mid-infrared (MIR), near-infrared (NIR), and submillimeter (submm) emission of the source Sgr A* associated with the su…

An Inverse Compton Scattering Origin of X-ray Flares from Sgr A*

F. Yusef-Zadeh, M. Wardle, K. Dodds-Eden +6

The X-ray and near-IR emission from Sgr A* is dominated by flaring, while a quiescent component dominates the emission at radio and sub-mm wavelengths. The spectral energy distribu…

Do stellar winds play a decisive role in feeding AGN?

R. Davies, L. Burtscher, K. Dodds-Eden +1

While the existence of a starburst-AGN connection is undisputed, there is no consensus on what the connection is. In this contribution, we begin by noting that the mechanisms which…

A gas cloud on its way towards the super-massive black hole in the Galactic Centre

S. Gillessen, R. Genzel, T. K. Fritz +9

Measurements of stellar orbits provide compelling evidence that the compact radio source Sagittarius A* at the Galactic Centre is a black hole four million times the mass of the Su…

The star formation history of the Milky Way's Nuclear Star Cluster

O. Pfuhl, T. K. Fritz, M. Zilka +7

We present spatially resolved imaging and integral field spectroscopy data for 450 cool giant stars within 1\,pc from Sgr\,A*. We use the prominent CO bandheads to derive effective…

Line derived infrared extinction towards the Galactic Center

Tobias K. Fritz, Stefan Gillessen, Katie Dodds-Eden +7

We derive the extinction curve towards the Galactic Center from 1 to 19 micron. We use hydrogen emission lines of the minispiral observed by ISO-SWS and SINFONI. The extinction fre…
