Advection‐dominated Accretion Model of Sagittarius A*: Evidence for a Black Hole at the Galactic Center

Advection‐dominated Accretion Model of Sagittarius A*: Evidence for a Black Hole at the Galactic Center

Sagittarius A*, which is located at the Galactic center, is a puzzling source. It has a mass of M = (2.5 ± 0.4) × 106 M☉, which makes it an excellent black hole candidate. Observations of stellar winds and other gas flows in its vicinity suggest a mass accretion rate …
