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…

The mass distribution in the Galactic Centre from interferometric astrometry of multiple stellar orbits

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +62

The stars orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* in the Galactic Centre are precision probes of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole. In addition to adap…

Deep Images of the Galactic Center with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +65

Stellar orbits at the Galactic Center provide a very clean probe of the gravitational potential of the supermassive black hole. They can be studied with unique precision, beyond th…

Detection of faint stars near SgrA* with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +58

The spin of the supermassive black hole that resides at the Galactic Centre can in principle be measured by accurate measurements of the orbits of stars that are much closer to Sgr…

The Flux Distribution of Sgr A*

The GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +54

The Galactic Center black hole Sagittarius A* is a variable NIR source that exhibits bright flux excursions called flares. The low-flux density turnover of the flux distribution is…

Detection of the Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole

GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, A. Amorim +53

The star S2 orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* is a precision probe of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole (candidate). Over the last 2.7 decades we…
