Orbital and Atmospheric Characterization of the 1RXS J034231.8+121622 System Using High-Resolution Spectroscopy Confirms That The Companion is a Low-Mass Star
Clarissa R. Do Ó, Ben Sappey, Quinn M. Konopacky +33
The 1RXS J034231.8+121622 system consists of an M dwarf primary and a directly imaged low-mass stellar companion. We use high resolution spectroscopic data from Keck/KPIC to estima…
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…
Investigating the Binarity of S0-2: Implications for its Origins and Robustness as a Probe of the Laws of Gravity around a Supermassive Black Hole
Devin S. Chu, Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees +8
The star S0-2, which orbits the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in our Galaxy with a period of 16 years, provides the strongest constraint on both the mass of the SMBH and the dista…
Stellar Populations in the Central 0.5 pc of the Galaxy II: The Initial Mass Function
Jessica R. Lu, Tuan Do, Andrea M. Ghez +3
The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way plays host to a massive, young cluster that may have formed in one of the most inhospitable environments in the Galaxy. W…
Stellar Populations in the Central 0.5 pc of the Galaxy I: A New Method for Constructing Luminosity Functions and Surface-Density Profiles
Tuan Do, Jessica R. Lu, Andrea M. Ghez +5
We present new high angular resolution near-infrared spectroscopic observations of the nuclear star cluster surrounding the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole. Using the i…
Disks in the Arches cluster -- survival in a starburst environment
Andrea Stolte, Mark Morris, Andrea Ghez +6
Deep Keck/NIRC2 HK'L' observations of the Arches cluster near the Galactic center reveal a significant population of near-infrared excess sources. We combine the L'-band excess obs…
