Searching for Nearby Supermassive Black Hole Binaries with GRAVITY

GRAVITY Collaboration, K. Abd El Dayem, N. Aimar +82

We present a systematic interferometric search for close supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in 20 nearby type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed with VLTI/\grav. We inves…

Improving constraints on the Yukawa correction at the Galactic Center with multiple stellar orbits

GRAVITY+ Collaboration, :, A. Foschi +78

We investigate the presence of a Yukawa-like correction () to Newtonian gravity at the Galactic Center, using a multi-star fitting code, including the newly…

Discovery of a star sensitive to the spin of Sgr A*

K. Abd El Dayem, R. Abuter, N. Aimar +85

Residing in the center of the Milky Way, Sgr A* is the closest massive black hole (MBH). Its vicinity has allowed measuring individual stellar orbits around it. The stars act as te…

A dynamical measure of the black hole mass in a quasar 11 billion years ago

R. Abuter, F. Allouche, A. Amorim +124

Tight relationships exist in the local universe between the central stellar properties of galaxies and the mass of their supermassive black hole. These suggest galaxies and black h…
