Stellar Dynamics at the Galactic Center with an Extremely Large Telescope
Stellar Dynamics at the Galactic Center with an Extremely Large Telescope
We discuss experiments achievable via monitoring of stellar dynamics near the massive black hole at the Galactic center with a next generation, extremely large telescope (ELT). Given the likely observational capabilities of an ELT and current knowledge of the stellar environment at the Galactic center, we synthesize plausible samples of …
