Mass distribution in the Galactic Center based on interferometric astrometry of multiple stellar orbits

Mass distribution in the Galactic Center based on interferometric astrometry of multiple stellar orbits

The stars orbiting the compact radio source Sgr A* in the Galactic Centre are precision probes of the gravitational field around the closest massive black hole. In addition to adaptive optics assisted astrometry (with NACO / VLT) and spectroscopy (with SINFONI / VLT, NIRC2 / Keck and GNIRS / Gemini) …
