II. Accurate Positions and Proper Motions of Stellar SiO Masers near the Galactic Center

M. J. Reid, K. M. Menten, R. Genzel +3

Menten, Reid, Eckart and Genzel (1997) accurately determined the position of Sgr A* on an infrared image, by aligning the infrared image with positions measured for SiO masers, ass…

Closest Star Seen Orbiting the Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way

R. Schodel, T. Ott, R. Genzel +20

Measurements of stellar velocities and variable X-ray emission near the centre of the Milky Way have provided the strongest evidence so far that the dark mass concentrations seen i…

Infrared spectroscopy around 4micron of Seyfert 2 galaxies: Obscured broad line regions and coronal lines

D. Lutz, R. Maiolino, A. F. M. Moorwood +4

The state of the matter that is obscuring a small circumnuclear region in AGN can be probed by observations of its broad emission lines. Infrared lines are particularly useful sinc…

Kinematics of Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South: Discovery of a Very Massive Spiral at z=0.6

D. Rigopoulou, A. Franceschini, H. Aussel +3

We report the first results from a study of the internal kinematics, based on spatially resolved H_alpha velocity profiles, of three galaxies at redshift z~0.6 and one at redshift…
