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…

Relativistic redshift of the star S0-2 orbiting the Galactic center supermassive black hole

Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees, Andrea Ghez +26

General Relativity predicts that a star passing close to a supermassive black hole should exhibit a relativistic redshift. We test this using observations of the Galactic center st…

Envisioning the next decade of Galactic Center science: a laboratory for the study of the physics and astrophysics of supermassive black holes

Tuan Do, Andrea Ghez, Jessica R. Lu +38

As the closest example of a galactic nucleus, the Galactic center (GC) presents an exquisite laboratory for learning about supermassive black holes (SMBH) and their environment. We…

Measuring the effects of General Relativity at the Galactic Center with Future Extremely Large Telescopes

Tuan Do, Aurelien Hees, Arezu Dehghanfar +2

The Galactic center offers us a unique opportunity to test General Relativity (GR) with the orbits of stars around a supermassive black hole. Observations of these stars have been…

Testing the gravitational theory with short-period stars around our Galactic Center

A. Hees, A. M. Ghez, T. Do +19

Motion of short-period stars orbiting the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center has been monitored for more than 20 years. These observations are currently offering a new…

Testing General Relativity with stellar orbits around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center

A. Hees, T. Do, A. M. Ghez +14

In this Letter, we demonstrate that short-period stars orbiting around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center can successfully be used to probe the gravitational theory…
