First Observation of CO Emission and foreground absorption Toward the Galactic Center with JWST
J. Qiu, A. Ciurlo, M. R. Morris +11
CO is an important, stable, and abundant molecule in the Universe, but it is very difficult to detect because it has no observable pure rotational transitions. The unique sensi…
Chromatically modelling the parsec scale dusty structure in the centre of NGC1068
James Leftley, Romain Petrov, Niklas Moszczynski +19
The Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) has been providing breakthrough images of the dust in the central parsecs of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), a key component of the AGN…
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…
The spatially resolved broad line region of IRAS 09149-6206
GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, W. Brandner +41
We present new near-infrared VLTI/GRAVITY interferometric spectra that spatially resolve the broad Br emission line in the nucleus of the active galaxy IRAS 09149-6206. We use t…
Scalar field effects on the orbit of S2 star
António Amorim, Michael Bauböck, Myriam Benisty +35
Precise measurements of the S-stars orbiting SgrA* have set strong constraints on the nature of the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. The presence of a black hole in t…
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…
