Improving constraints on the extended mass distribution in the Galactic Center with stellar orbits

The GRAVITY Collaboration, Karim Abd El Dayem, Roberto Abuter +66

Studying the orbital motion of stars around Sagittarius A* in the Galactic Center provides a unique opportunity to probe the gravitational potential near the supermassive black hol…

VLTI/GRAVITY Interferometric Measurements of Innermost Dust Structure Sizes around AGNs

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +41

We present new VLTI/GRAVITY near-infrared interferometric measurements of the angular size of the innermost hot dust continuum for 14 type 1 AGNs. The angular sizes are resolved on…

A dynamical measure of the black hole mass in a quasar 11 billion years ago

R. Abuter, F. Allouche, A. Amorim +124

Tight relationships exist in the local universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole. These suggest galaxies and black h…

The size-luminosity relation of local active galactic nuclei from interferometric observations of the broad-line region

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Amorim, G. Bourdarot +42

By using the GRAVITY instrument with the near-infrared (NIR) Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), the structure of the broad (emission-)line region (BLR) in active galactic…

Using the motion of S2 to constrain scalar clouds around SgrA*

GRAVITY Collaboration, A. Foschi, R. Abuter +67

The motion of S2, one of the stars closest to the Galactic Centre, has been measured accurately and used to study the compact object at the centre of the Milky Way. It is commonly…
