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…
High-resolution Infrared Spectrograph for Exoplanet Characterization with the Keck and Thirty Meter Telescopes
Dimitri Mawet, Michael Fitzgerald, Quinn Konopacky +46
HISPEC (High-resolution Infrared Spectrograph for Exoplanet Characterization) is a proposed diffraction-limited spectrograph for the W.M. Keck Observatory, and a pathfinder for the…
Unprecedented variability of Sgr A* in NIR
Tuan Do, Gunther Witzel, Abhimat K. Gautam +10
The electromagnetic counterpart to the Galactic center supermassive black hole, Sgr A*, has been observed in the near-infrared for over 20 years and is known to be highly variable.…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: The Local Relics of of Supermassive Black Hole Seeds
Jenny E Greene, Aaron Barth, Andrea Bellini +18
We have compelling evidence for stellar-mass black holes (BHs) of ~5-80 M_sun that form through the death of massive stars. We also have compelling evidence for so-called supermass…
Star Formation in Different Environments: The Initial Mass Function
M. W. Hosek, J. R. Lu, M. Andersen +7
The stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a fundamental property of star formation, offering key insight into the physics driving the process as well as informing our understandin…
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…
