A population of dust-enshrouded objects orbiting the Galactic black hole
Anna Ciurlo, Randall D. Campbell, Mark R. Morris +9
The central 0.1 parsecs of the Milky Way host a supermassive black hole identified with the position of the radio and infrared source Sagittarius A*, a cluster of young, massive st…
Eating Planets for Lunch and Dinner: Signatures of Planet Consumption by Evolving Stars
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, B. Scott Gaudi +1
Exoplanets have been observed around stars at all stages of stellar evolution, in many cases orbiting in configurations that will eventually lead to the planets being engulfed or c…
The Fate of Binaries in the Galactic Center: The Mundane and the Exotic
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, Andrea M. Ghez +6
The Galactic Center (GC) is dominated by the gravity of a super-massive black hole (SMBH), Sagittarius A, and is suspected to contain a sizable population of binary stars. Such…
Unseen companions of V Hya inferred from periodic ejections
Jesus M. Salas, Smadar Naoz, Mark R. Morris +1
A recent study using observations found periodic, high-speed, collimated ejections (or "bullets") from the star V Hya. The authors of that study propos…
Merging Binaries in the Galactic Center: The eccentric Kozai-Lidov mechanism with stellar evolution
Alexander P. Stephan, Smadar Naoz, Andrea M. Ghez +4
Most, if not all, stars in the field are born in binary configurations or higher multiplicity systems. In dense stellar environment such as the Galactic Center (GC), many stars are…
