Infrared Line Diagnostics Fail to Constrain Sgr A*'s UV Output

Mayura Balakrishnan, Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Daryl Haggard +11

Sgr A*, the 4 x supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, exhibits frequent flaring with X-ray luminosities of erg s, while i…

First mid-infrared detection and modeling of a flare from Sgr A*

Sebastiano D. von Fellenberg, Tamojeet Roychowdhury, Joseph M. Michail +24

The time-variable emission from the accretion flow of Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, has long been examined in the radio-to-mm, near-infrared (NIR), an…

Light and shadow in the Galactic Center - On the detection of the relativistic periastron shift of star S2 in the Galactic Center

A. Eckart, M. Parsa, E. Mossoux +11

We report on the nature of prominent sources of light and shadow in the Galactic Center. With respect to the Bremsstrahlung X-ray emission of the hot plasma in that region the Gala…

The Multifrequency Behavior of Sagittarius A*

A. Eckart, M. Zajacek, M. Parsa +15

The Galactic Center is the closest galactic nucleus that allows us to determine the multi-frequency behavior of the supermassive black hole counterpart Sagittarius A* in great deta…

Source-intrinsic near-infrared properties of Sgr A*: Total intensity measurements

G. Witzel, A. Eckart, M. Bremer +12

We present a comprehensive data description for Ks-band measurements of Sgr A*. We characterize the statistical properties of the variability of Sgr A* in the near-infrared, which…

Near-infrared polarimetry as a tool for testing properties of accreting super-massive black holes

M. Zamaninasab, A. Eckart, M. Dovciak +10

Several massive black holes exhibit flux variability on time scales that correspond to source sizes of the order of few Schwarzschild radii. We survey the potential of near-infrare…
