Astrometry with the Wide-Field InfraRed Space Telescope
Robyn E. Sanderson, Andrea Bellini, Stefano Casertano +14
The Wide-Field InfraRed Space Telescope (WFIRST) will be capable of delivering precise astrometry for faint sources over the enormous field of view of its main camera, the Wide-Fie…
Investigating the Binarity of S0-2: Implications for its Origins and Robustness as a Probe of the Laws of Gravity around a Supermassive Black Hole
Devin S. Chu, Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees +8
The star S0-2, which orbits the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in our Galaxy with a period of 16 years, provides the strongest constraint on both the mass of the SMBH and the dista…
Individual, Model-Independent Masses of the Closest Known Brown Dwarf Binary to the Sun
E. Victor Garcia, S. Mark Ammons, Maissa Salama +18
At a distance of 2~pc, our nearest brown dwarf neighbor, Luhman 16 AB, has been extensively studied since its discovery 3 years ago, yet its most fundamental parameter -- the masse…
Testing General Relativity with stellar orbits around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center
A. Hees, T. Do, A. M. Ghez +14
In this Letter, we demonstrate that short-period stars orbiting around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center can successfully be used to probe the gravitational theory…
