Discovery of a star sensitive to the spin of Sgr A*

K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +85

Residing in the center of the Milky Way, Sgr A* is the closest massive black hole (MBH). Its vicinity has allowed measuring individual stellar orbits around it. The stars act as te…

A dynamical measure of the black hole mass in a quasar 11 billion years ago

R. Abuter, F. Allouche, A. Amorim +124

Tight relationships exist in the local universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole. These suggest galaxies and black h…
