Constraining the Variability and Binary Fraction of Galactic Center Young Stars

Abhimat K. Gautam, Tuan Do, Andrea M. Ghez +6

We present constraints on the variability and binarity of young stars in the central 10 arcseconds (~0.4 pc) of the Milky Way Galactic Center (GC) using Keck Adaptive Optics data o…

The late-type stellar density profile in the Galactic Center: A statistical approach

Samantha N. Chappell, Andrea M. Ghez, Tuan Do +5

The late-type stellar population in the Galactic Center was first predicted to reside in a dynamically relaxed cusp (power law slope ranging from 3/2 to 7/4). However, observations…

An Improved Distance and Mass Estimate for Sgr A* from a Multistar Orbit Analysis

A. Boehle, A. M. Ghez, R. Schödel +11

We present new, more precise measurements of the mass and distance of our Galaxy's central supermassive black hole, Sgr A*. These results stem from a new analysis that more than do…
