Improving constraints on the extended mass distribution in the Galactic Center with stellar orbits

The GRAVITY Collaboration, Karim Abd El Dayem, Roberto Abuter +66

Studying the orbital motion of stars around Sagittarius A* in the Galactic Center provides a unique opportunity to probe the gravitational potential near the supermassive black hol…

Polarimetry and Astrometry of NIR Flares as Event Horizon Scale, Dynamical Probes for the Mass of Sgr A*

The GRAVITY Collaboration, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +66

We present new astrometric and polarimetric observations of flares from Sgr A* obtained with GRAVITY, the near-infrared interferometer at ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer…

Using the motion of S2 to constrain scalar clouds around SgrA*

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Foschi, R. Abuter +67

The motion of S2, one of the stars closest to the Galactic Centre, has been measured accurately and used to study the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. It is commonly…

Where intermediate-mass black holes could hide in the Galactic Centre: A full parameter study with the S2 orbit

The GRAVITY Collaboration, O. Straub, M. Bauböck +59

In the Milky Way the central massive black hole, SgrA*, coexists with a compact nuclear star cluster that contains a sub-parsec concentration of fast-moving young stars called S-st…

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…
