Young Stellar Objects close to Sgr A*

B. Jalali, I. Pelupessy, A. Eckart +6

We aim at modelling small groups of young stars such as IRS 13N, 0.1 pc away from Sgr A*, which is suggested to contain a few embedded massive young stellar objects. We perform hyd…

The infrared K-band identification of the DSO/G2 source from VLT and Keck data

Andreas Eckart, M. Horrobin, S. Britzen +24

A fast moving infrared excess source (G2) which is widely interpreted as a core-less gas and dust cloud approaches Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) on a presumably elliptical orbit. VLT K_s-…

The Galactic Center as a Paradigm for Low Luminosity Nuclei? The K-band identification of the DSO/G2 source from VLT and Keck data

Andreas Eckart, S. Britzen, M. Horrobin +27

The super-massive 4 million solar mass black hole (SMBH) SgrA* shows flare emission from the millimeter to the X-ray domain. The nucleus of the Milky Way has properties (stellar cl…

The M_BH - sigma relation for intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters

Nora Lützgendorf, Markus Kissler-Patig, Nadine Neumayer +6

For galaxies hosting supermassive black holes (SMBHs), it has been observed that the mass of the central black hole (M_BH) tightly correlates with the effective or central velocity…

Indication for an intermediate-mass black hole in the globular cluster NGC 5286 from kinematics

A. Feldmeier, N. Lützgendorf, N. Neumayer +6

Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, 10^2-10^5 M_sun) fill the gap between stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Simulations have shown that IMBHs may for…

Intermediate-mass black holes in Globular Clusters

Nora Lützgendorf, Markus Kissler-Patig, Karl Gebhardt +6

For a sample of nine Galactic globular clusters we measured the inner kinematic profiles with integral-field spectroscopy that we combined with existing outer kinematic measurement…
