A 600 minute near-infrared lightcurve of Sagittarius A*
L. Meyer, T. Do, A. Ghez +5
We present the longest, by a factor of two, near-infrared lightcurve from Sgr A* - the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center. Achieved by combining Keck and VLT data from…

X-ray hiccups from SgrA* observed by XMM-Newton. The second brightest flare and three moderate flares caught in half a day
D. Porquet, N. Grosso, P. Predehl +14
[truncated] In Spring 2007, we observed SgrA* with XMM with a total exposure of ~230ks. We have performed timing and spectral analysis of the new X-ray flares detected during this…

Modulated X-ray Emissivity near the Stress Edge in Sgr A*
M. Falanga, F. Melia, M. Prescher +2
Sgr A* is thought to be the radiative manifestation of a ~3.6E6 Msun supermassive black hole at the Galactic center. Its mm/sub-mm spectrum and its flare emission at IR and X-ray w…
