The infrared L'-band view of the Galactic Center with NAOS-CONICA at VLT
Y. Clénet, D. Rouan, E. Gendron +9
We report on Galactic Center L'-band observations made during NAOS/CONICA Science Verification. Colors of the inner 2" stars reveal an infrared excess of S2, the closest star to th…
Near-infrared flares from accreting gas around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre
R. Genzel, R. Schoedel, T. Ott +5
Recent measurements of stellar orbits provide compelling evidence that the compact radio source Sagittarius A* at the Galactic Centre is a 3.6-million-solar-mass black hole. Sgr A*…
An infrared imaging search for low-mass companions to members of the young nearby beta Pic and Tucana/Horologium associations
Ralph Neuh"auser, E. W. Guenther, J. Alves +3
We present deep high dynamic range infrared images of young nearby stars in the Tucana/Horologium and beta Pic associations, all ~ 10 to 35 Myrs young and at ~10 to 60 pc distance.…
A Geometric Determination of the Distance to the Galactic Center
F. Eisenhauer, R. Schoedel, R. Genzel +5
We report new astrometric and spectroscopic observations of the star S2 orbiting the massive black hole in the Galactic Center, which were taken at the ESO VLT with the adaptive op…
Stellar dynamics in the central arcsecond of our galaxy
R. Schoedel, R. Genzel, T. Ott +3
We present proper motions for 40 stars at projected distances from Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). We find evidence on a level for radial anisotropy of the cluster…
The Stellar Cusp Around the Supermassive Black Hole in the Galactic Center
R. Genzel, R. Schoedel, T. Ott +12
We analyze deep near-IR adaptive optics imaging as well as new proper motion data of the nuclear star cluster of the Milky Way. The surface density distribution of faint stars peak…
The Position, Motion, and Mass of Sgr A*
M. J. Reid, K. M. Menten, R. Genzel +4
We report progress on measuring the position of Sgr A* on infrared images, placing limits on the motion of the central star cluster relative to Sgr A*, and measuring the proper mot…
Inward Bound: Studying the Galactic Centre with NAOS/CONICA
T. Ott, R. Schoedel, R. Genzel +25
We report on the first results obtained using adaptive optics measurements of the Galactic Centre done with NAOS/CONICA.
