AIROPA II: Modeling Instrumental Aberrations for Off-Axis Point Spread Functions in Adaptive Optics
Anna Ciurlo, Paolo Turri, Gunther Witzel +12
Images obtained with single-conjugate adaptive optics (AO) show spatial variation of the point spread function (PSF) due to both atmospheric anisoplanatism and instrumental aberrat…
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…
Consistency of the Infrared Variability of Sgr A* over 22 years
Zhuo Chen, E. Gallego-Cano, T. Do +14
We report new infrared measurements of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, Sgr A*, over a decade that was previously inaccessible at these wavelengths. This enables…
The Post-Periapse Evolution of Galactic Center Source G1: The second case of a resolved tidal interaction with a supermassive black hole
Gunther Witzel, Breann. N. Sitarski, Andrea M. Ghez +13
We present new Adaptive Optics (AO) imaging and spectroscopic measurements of Galactic Center source G1 from W. M. Keck Observatory. Our goal is to understand its nature and relati…
Constraining the Variability and Binary Fraction of Galactic Center Young Stars
Abhimat K. Gautam, Tuan Do, Andrea M. Ghez +6
We present constraints on the variability and binarity of young stars in the central 10 arcseconds (~0.4 pc) of the Milky Way Galactic Center (GC) using Keck Adaptive Optics data o…
The late-type stellar density profile in the Galactic Center: A statistical approach
Samantha N. Chappell, Andrea M. Ghez, Tuan Do +5
The late-type stellar population in the Galactic Center was first predicted to reside in a dynamically relaxed cusp (power law slope ranging from 3/2 to 7/4). However, observations…
