Probing departures from Schwarzschild geometry with the S301 star and kilometre-baseline interferometry
Rodrigo P. Silva, Alexandre C. M. Correia, Paulo J. V. Garcia
The S301 star reaches a pericentre one tenth that of S2, opening a new regime for probing black-hole spin and departures from Schwarzschild. We develop a post-Newtonian secular Ham…
A solution to the paradox of youth in the Galactic centre
Rodrigo P. Silva, Alexandre C. M. Correia, Tjarda C. N. Boekholt +1
The supermassive black hole at the Galactic centre, Sgr A*, is surrounded by an S cluster of young stars. These stars are predominantly B-type stars, but their origin remains uncer…
Dynamical constraints on the S2 (S0-2) star possible companions
Rodrigo P. Silva, Alexandre C. M. Correia, Tjarda C. N. Boekholt +1
The center of the Galaxy harbors a supermassive black hole, Sgr\,A*, which is surrounded by a massive star cluster known as the S-cluster. The most extensively studied star in this…
Sagittarius A* near-infrared flares polarization as a probe of space-time I: Non-rotating exotic compact objects
Nicolas Aimar, João Luís Rosa, Hanna Liis Tamm +1
The center of our galaxy hosts Sagittarius~A*, a supermassive compact object of solar masses, usually associated with a black hole. Nevertheless, black holes…
VSI: the VLTI spectro-imager
F. Malbet, D. Buscher, G. Weigelt +51
The VLTI Spectro Imager (VSI) was proposed as a second-generation instrument of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer providing the ESO community with spectrally-resolved, near-i…
VITRUV - Imaging close environments of stars and galaxies with the VLTI at milli-arcsec resolution
Fabien Malbet, Jean-Philippe Berger, Paulo Garcia +11
The VITRUV project has the objective to deliver milli-arcsecond spectro-images of the environment of compact sources like young stars, active galaxies and evolved stars to the comm…
