Dynamically important magnetic fields near the event horizon of Sgr A*
Dynamically important magnetic fields near the event horizon of Sgr A*
We study the time-variable linear polarisation of Sgr A* during a bright NIR flare observed with the GRAVITY instrument on July 28, 2018. Motivated by the time evolution of both the observed astrometric and polarimetric signatures, we interpret the data in terms of the polarised emission of a compact region …
