Testing the black hole no-hair theorem at the galactic center: perturbing effects of stars in the surrounding cluster
Observations of the precessing orbits of stars very near the massive black hole in the galactic center could provide measurements of the spin and quadrupole moment of the hole and thereby test the no-hair theorem of general relativity. Since the galactic center is likely to be populated by a distribution …
