Constraining particle acceleration in Sgr A* with simultaneous GRAVITY, Spitzer, NuSTAR and Chandra observations

R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauböck +81

We report the time-resolved spectral analysis of a bright near-infrared and moderate X-ray flare of Sgr A*. We obtained light curves in the -, -, and -bands in the mid- an…

Dynamically important magnetic fields near the event horizon of Sgr A*

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Jiménez-Rosales, J. Dexter +53

We study the time-variable linear polarisation of Sgr A* during a bright NIR flare observed with the GRAVITY instrument on July 28, 2018. Motivated by the time evolution of both th…

Infrared interferometry to spatially and spectrally resolve jets in X-ray binaries

Sera Markoff, David M. Russell, Jason Dexter +5

Infrared interferometry is a new frontier for precision ground based observing, with new instrumentation achieving milliarcsecond (mas) spatial resolutions for faint sources, along…

Modeling the orbital motion of Sgr A*'s near-infrared flares

The GRAVITY Collaboration, M. Bauböck, J. Dexter +53

Infrared observations of Sgr A* probe the region close to the event horizon of the black hole at the Galactic center. These observations can constrain the properties of low-luminos…

Accretion-ejection morphology of the microquasar SS433 resolved at sub-au scale

GRAVITY Collaboration, P. -O. Petrucci, I. Waisberg +67

We present the first optical observation at sub-milliarcsecond (mas) scale of the microquasar SS 433 obtained with the GRAVITY instrument on the VLT interferometer. The 3.5 hour ex…

A powerful flare from Sgr A* confirms the synchrotron nature of the X-ray emission

G. Ponti, E. George, S. Scaringi +21

We present the first fully simultaneous fits to the NIR and X-ray spectral slope (and its evolution) during a very bright flare from Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milk…
