Experimental Indicators of Accretion Processes in Active Galactic Nuclei

A. Eckart, M. Valencia-S., B. Shahzamanian +19

Bright Active Galactic Nuclei are powered by accretion of mass onto the super massive black holes at the centers of the host galaxies. For fainter objects star formation may signif…

Nuclear Activity and the Conditions of Star-formation at the Galactic Center

A. Eckart, M. Valencia-S., B. Shahzamanian +15

The Galactic Center is the closest galactic nucleus that can be studied with unprecedented angular resolution and sensitivity. We summarize recent basic observational results on Sa…

Wisps in the Galactic center: NIR triggered observations of the radio source Sgr A* at 43 GHz

C. Rauch, E. Ros, T. P. Krichbaum +4

Context. The compact radio and near-infrared (NIR) source Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) associated with the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center was observed at 7 mm in the con…

The infrared K-band identification of the DSO/G2 source from VLT and Keck data

Andreas Eckart, M. Horrobin, S. Britzen +24

A fast moving infrared excess source (G2) which is widely interpreted as a core-less gas and dust cloud approaches Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) on a presumably elliptical orbit. VLT K_s-…

The Galactic Center as a Paradigm for Low Luminosity Nuclei? The K-band identification of the DSO/G2 source from VLT and Keck data

Andreas Eckart, S. Britzen, M. Horrobin +27

The super-massive 4 million solar mass black hole (SMBH) SgrA* shows flare emission from the millimeter to the X-ray domain. The nucleus of the Milky Way has properties (stellar cl…

The S-Star Cluster at the Center of the Milky Way: On the nature of diffuse NIR emission in the inner tenth of a parsec

Nadeen Sabha, Andreas Eckart, David Merritt +9

Sagittarius A*, the super-massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, is surrounded by a small cluster of high velocity stars, known as the S-stars. We aim to constrain the…
