GRAVITY K-band spectroscopy of HD 206893 B: brown dwarf or exoplanet
J. Kammerer, S. Lacour, T. Stolker +94
We aim to reveal the nature of the reddest known substellar companion HD 206893 B by studying its near-infrared colors and spectral morphology and by investigating its orbital moti…
The GRAVITY young stellar object survey V. The orbit of the T Tauri binary star WW Cha
GRAVITY Collaboration, F. Eupen, L. Labadie +60
The young T Tauri star WW Cha was recently proposed to be a close binary object with strong infrared and submillimeter excess associated with circum-system emission. This makes WW…
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…
A geometric distance measurement to the Galactic Center black hole with 0.3% uncertainty
R. Abuter, A. Amorim, M. Bauboeck +51
We present a 0.16% precise and 0.27% accurate determination of R0, the distance to the Galactic Center. Our measurement uses the star S2 on its 16-year orbit around the massive bla…
Spectroscopic Detection of a Cusp of Late-type Stars around the Central Black Hole in the Milky Way
M. Habibi, S. Gillessen, O. Pfuhl +12
In a dynamically relaxed cluster around a massive black hole a dense stellar cusp of old stars is expected to form. Previous observations showed a relative paucity of red giant sta…
Detection of a drag force in G2's orbit: Measuring the density of the accretion flow onto Sgr A* at 1000 Schwarzschild radii
S. Gillessen, P. M. Plewa, F. Widmann +14
The Galactic Center black hole Sgr A* is the archetypical example of an underfed massive black hole. The extremely low accretion rate can be understood in radiatively inefficient a…
