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…
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…
